I popped into my mates garage today,, one of the mechanics scratched through hîs tool chest and handed me this little beauty,,
I couldn't thank him enough,
Has anyone else got one,
I think it looks awesome,, as time goes by the joys of Tvr ownership come through,,,
He could have charged me for it and I'd have gladly paid smile
He's a top mechanic, into his big speed boats and bikes, Ducati 916 on a bike ramp as we spoke,,,
So a top fella and I feel honoured he gave it me, smilesmile

It's the little things sometimes that gives you faith, biggrin

No but I have a similar one with the word Griffith on it. Came when I bought the car new in '99. I imagine they were std issue from the factory when the cars were new because i've never seen an official TVR keyring. smile

I have one. They're really useful actually. It means that theives know which car to steal when you lose your car keys. The only benefit of having a TVR is that you'll be able to hear them nicking it from the other side of town.

I have these just sitting in the cupboard - because using my enhanced vehicle recognition skills, I can tell which car sat in my garage is the TVR Chimaera!

Thanks for this post. I thought I would fish my keys out for a look, being sure my fob was the same. But no, similar but no bubble over the the top. The spare then for sure. The spare is missing, arrrgh! Already 'mislaid' the service book a few years ago, now the spare keys. What a prize chump. frown

Sorry, but no spare keys and no service record reduces the value of the car by 95%.
I can help you out and take it off your hands if you like..... whistle

biggrin Very generous of you Qbee, quite a relief actually, I thought it would have more of an effect. Looks like I'll need to open up the old east wing finally and have a look, if I can find the keys. paperbag
