I just couldn't shrug off the TVR bug - after selling my old 400 3 years ago (which I believe is still in Finland after I sold it to a lovely chap over there) the time came where I was weighing up what new TVR to get. After a few months looking about and almost buying a 500 I found this 450 that ticked every box. Previous owners clearly took plenty of care of her with full TVR service history, outriggers done and an engine rebuild!

Done about 600 miles in her so far and it's a great sense of occasion every time!

Welcome back to the fold! Lovely looking car, it caught my eye as your reg plate is very similar to mine beer



eta: I saw another Chim recently at Central TVR with this plate as well, it seems many of the 98 cars used XPX on the plate.

Very nice Eversleigh. Any more pics? Is it Iris blue by any chance? I have a penchant for that colour....

None of them are great but a few as follows (including the modified cover for on road parking/access to the no. plate and parking permit!) - taking her to France on Friday for a week then come September a few things planned, reading about the Y piece success on here I think that will be my next move:

I thought I recognised Whitestrand Quay. smile

Same here. Car lives in Bromley but down in Salcombe once or twice a year, every year for the last 15 years. Unfortunatley the family and a small boat to be towed mean the Tiv has never visited this fine part of the world. (Well, not during my ownership.) Note to self to correct that situation one day!
