Tip Top condition, excellent chassis, loads of history.

Ta! We cant wait.

Tis Ferrari Rosso Corsa. It came out of the factory as Cherry Pearl (IIRC) but that has a rather bad habit of fading, so it got a repaint (very well) a few years ago.

First job is to lose the black handbrake handle!

You can go off people very quickly y'know. Since I have been on Pistonheads you have had a V10 M6, new 640d and now this.

Very nice indeed though! Enjoy! thumbup

Very nice! Looks like a leather armchair with wheels in there!

Have to ask, what's the knob (hehe) behind the gearstick/handbrake?

Believe it or not, it opens the doors - twist one way for pass, one way for drivers. Opening the doors from the outside is done by pressing a button under the wing mirror!

TVR never liked to go with the masses on these things!!

Nothing a bit of negotiating cant help wink

The offer some of the best experience, warranty, and after car of anyone specialising in TVR's, plus they are 5 mins away from me!

I knew they had an odd method from the outside, but not the inside too! That's awesome in such a childish way!
