Dropped her back to TVR central to get some niggles sorted, nearly had a collision with a chav ( even had a burbery cap ) in a C1 who managed to combine an illegal u-turn on a 4 way crossroad with a red light... C##t.

[Mr Cerbera]

Hi Jim,

is that "Grigio Avlon" ?

[Mr Cerbera]

Hi Jim,

is that "Grigio Avlon" ?

[Jimbolian]

It is indeed, apparently three other cars going through TVRC have gone that colour since mine was sprayed up and sat waiting collection.

Mind you, at least one ws'nt a TVR.

[Tang Soo Tim]

Looking great Jim, hope you get those niggles sorted quick and don't have any chav hassles driving back ! fetch mine from RTRacing friday Will prob break into a sweat driving home if any nutters getting close

How you finding grip on these lovely roads at the moment ?

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

I take it thats not the original colour, the reason I ask is that I was selling these from Henley Heritage in 97/98 and R*** EAN were numbers we issued at the time. What colour was it originally I may have even sold it from new!

[Jhonno]

It was a bright silver previously..

[Mags]

That looks lovely, did you go for T350 seats? where did you get them from?

[Jimbolian]

It was silver indeed, bought last year from a fellow pher. It was the one with flat paint and paint stripper poured all over it. Great car otherwise.

Would love to get any info you might have on the car from the sale/service. I.know the chap prior to the previous owner sadly passed away, it was then sat for sometime, hence the flat paint. Paint stripped was more female related to the chap I got her from.

No T350 seats wanted to keep her stock, ( orig wheels are in storage ) lots of bits replaced and changed but standard look. Had the carpet, door cards and head lining replaced as well. Red orig interior with grey quilted leather inserted.

I did go for the HID upgrade with new old style lights. Now I can see where I'm going
.. yay!

Beautiful colour mate, if we ever respray ours that will deffo be on the short list. Tuscan's taxed for the 1st can't wait to take him out.

[Jimbolian]

Cheers! That reminds me... Car Tax! Knew there was something.

Colour works well, not quite a flip but it does change under different lighting. Will get some proper pics up once I recollect.

Have a look in the servcie book and see it was supplied by HH and it might even have my signature in there. Ill rack my brains to think of who may have bought it.

Service book you say? : )

The closest would be the old rear plate "Harrogate Horseless Carriages" before TVRC replaced it with the respray. Only have history for last two owners and a 42k Service Stamp from the TVR manual. Alas that's it..

• if anyone has one for sale that would suit, please let me know!
