NEW TO CLASSICS

[jonny tvr]

I currently have a griff 500 1999 and have had 7 previous Tivs over the years but all been fairly modern. I want to add to my griff with the addition of a classic. Although I'm no stranger to classic cars I am new to the classic TVR. My ideal is a Griffith but finances can only really stretch to £10+, so out of the question. Interested in a V8 variant, that drives well fast and has to be from the 1960's. It must also be near concours.

Any recommendations? If so where should I look as pistonheads and TVR Sprint mag don't seem to have any.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Thank you everyone ... With my budget I think that the Tuscan V6 is a good bet. I remember seeing what seemed like a good one on pistonheads at least a year ago that was up for £8K. I like the shape and the fact its a V6. I'm not a fan of the Taimars or M series. I do like the idea of a tweaked Vixen .. there is a nice yellow one I sometimes see near me in Holmes Chapel.

I will have a think and thanks again

Just had a look at the Tuscan on ebay and although it looks great, it seems twice as expensive as it should be .. am I right?

Steve, I want to think about it as I want to decide in my own mind what I actually want. I don't want to waste your time and besides knowing what I'm like I would buy it if I saw it. I would like an original spec version but then again I like the idea of a modified race/ road Tuscan or Vixen or Grantura. I'm going to do a bit of research on them first. Jon
