Just a line to say hi and that I’ll be moving my allegiance over from the S forum to this one having just chopped in my V8S against a Cerbera. It’s a 2000 4.5 jobbie in metallic viper blue with magnolia leather & 33k miles. Nitrons and a de-catted sports exhaust make it an awesome car. Having run an S (in one guise or another) for years, this really is a different kettle of fish and in a different league altogether. I just hope I don't miss the classic V8 burble and the wind in your hair experience too much. P*ss poor quality pic below

Welcome to the group Keith, I reckon our Le Mans trip drive is going to be even more fun now, be good to have another in the group who offers some competition

So you won't be buying mine then now

A man after my own heart there , been delaying doing this swap for the last year or so myself, even now I'm not sure whether I should or not .
Lovely looking motor, did you look at many and was it private or a dealer :confuised:. Keith if you have looked at lots recently drop me a line with any details you may feel I should be aware of with the current crop out there .

Thanks Hugh.

Sorry Rob - but I couldn't wait 'til September Looking forward to Le Mans. I did think the V8S gave a bl**dy good account of itself last year though - some of the others said they couldn't keep up

No worries, still not sure about going away from TVR myself, though nigh on 500 bhp from a V8 in a convertible that handles is mighty tempting, the £30k I'll need to stump up for it is less so!

The way you went with V8S, you'll be knocking on 200 this year, mind you I think your driving experience might have had something to do with it

Ian - will catch up soon no doubt. Harry - I've been looking around for some time but as Rob knows I was really after the viper blue/magnolia combo and this one came up by chance at a dealer with all the extra goodies as well. I've driven a couple of others but this one easily drove the best of them all. I got a fair p/ex price on the V8S too and a years warranty - it really was a no brainer for me. Nothing really I can say apart from that.
