My car is back from Belgium!
Discussion
Well after 3 years I am back in a TVR, my old TVR to be exact 
I sold it in 2010 to a guy in Belgium to fund my first house purchase, and it has been sitting in his garage ever since. He emailed me a few weeks ago asking if I wanted it back, so here it is.
Thankfully it has faired well in his garage, and is exactly the same as when I sold it. Just a few little jobs to do whilst I wait to get it registered and insured but I now can't wait for the spring!

I am planning on replacing the fuel lines, coolant hoses and stripping and checking the brakes.
The wheels are Lenso BSX 16" all round. They seem to get a bad press but i have been very impressed with them, and still look like new after all this time. Plus i managed to get them in the perfect TVR fitments / offset

Cracking car, ive found the owner of my old S2. I've been giving him all the info I had on the car, I better tell him to do the same and contact me if he ever wants to sell it.
How does it feel second time around, bet you appreciate things you'd never really considered before.
They all said I'd miss the S2 ,,,,,,,,,, yep there right.
Like old friends its nice to catch up.
That's like hearing two people have made up or summut,
Cool looking car and I oddly like those wheels too, its something to do with the shine of metal.
Welldone mate.

Thanks everyone, yes it is great to get it back, just annoying it will likely not be on the road until March.
Its good to know the car already, and I can carry on where I left off with it. I think one of the first things for the summer will be a new ECU (probably Megasquirt as i like to do stuff myself) to make sure it is making the best use of all the little engine mods I had done and also ditch the AFM. Thankfully the CliveF y-piece has a Lambda bung welded in so I can put a wideband in and hopefully do a good job of it
. I think I will also look at getting rid of the old alarm / immobiliser and putting a modern one in as it never inspired me with much confidence.
I really appreciate the quirky interior since getting it back, and its been great fun sitting in it and trying to figure out what all the buttons do again.
Things I do not miss is one of the rear light lenses is loose so needs sealing back in again and the fact that I can't fit my jack under it to get the wheels off for a proper clean up
So i need to get a new low jack for it.
