Which TVR

[kenel]

Having damaged my spine in a Caterham earlier this year, long story won't bore you, but I am OK now, I still want to visit the odd track day without the hassle of having to trailer. The idea of buying another car for this purpose appeals but which one? Most PHs seem to be TVR aficionados so which one would you recommend for no more than say £20k. Thought of a Lotus but they are flimsy and remind me of Caterhams, then again the handling might make them safer!

Tamora if you want a convertible.
T350C if you want a coupe.
T350T if you want a coupe with 2 sunroofs.

He won't get any of those for 20k

There's a Cerby for sale at the moment up here for 20k which is a road car but 'well sorted' - ohlins, uprated brakes etc.
As far as which type of TVR, none on this forum for 20k!
I'd look at the following, in order:

Tuscan Racer
Cerbera
Griffith
Chimaera

Each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The Tuscan Racer is a beast and very track orientated whereas the Chim is better for the road but softer.

Edit to add: having said that a recent article in Sprint mentioned that a sorted Wedge handled and braked far better than a std early Cerbie so I suppose it all depends on what you want from the car. If you could list your priorities (power, handling, braking, reliability, servicing costs etc) we could probably give better answers.
