Managed to get 4 tanks of fuel through it between buying it and going back for a rebuild , it has now been gone for about 5 weeks and im missing her like mad!! Thats a bit sad huh, but its the truth!!

It hardly feels like i have owned her!!!!

Sorry for the outburst, this is possibly the only place where people wont think i am totally bonkers for missing a bloody car i want to get back to some !!!

I feel your pain and it is not sad to miss it. When I sent mine away for an engine rebuild over christmas it was away for 8 weeks. Well worth the wait though. Hopefully you wont have to wait too much longer.

I`m fully with you, mate. Mine is gone since May 8th ...
However, knowing to get her back with a rebuilt engine next week feels like I last felt at the age of 5, when it was 5 days before Christmas eve... what other car creates such emotions ?!
Hey - and July was pretty much a rainy month anyway - our time to enjoy open roof and rearscreen out will be as from sunny August :-)

I've been without mine for 2 weeks, (clutch went). Pick it up today about midday. I don't use her during the week either as I commute to London. Still missed NOT having her in the garage though.

TBH i dont think Jason does a 'typical' rebuild!

In all seriousness, he gave myself and the dealer a breakdown of what was wrong with the engine, what should be done as warranty and what options there were for upgrades. Very few of the parts he replaced are the standard TVR parts, the majority are upgraded and improved.

Will post a full spec when i have it, even i dont know fully yet!!!

You've got the unexciting bit next! Just got mine back from Jason and halfway through running it in. Can't wait for the engine service and then start using it properly.
