Collecting tonight...

[Cavey]

Finally joining the world of TVR ownership after a few years of 911s, and a lot of indcision. Looked at several Cerbs and Chims but finally plumped for a 2001 450 in Midnight Blue. Picking up this evening :driving: :D

Will post some pics after the weekend.

I can hear that V8 burble already....

Midnight Blue.

Ah, the slow one. When you're used to the power then I'd advise an upgrade to a green one!

Enjoy and post some pics!

[stuartlynn]

Hope you didn't buy blue because of the speed comments on previous posts, simply isn't true!!!!

Nevertheless.. you'll love it, hope all goes well with the pickup.. welcome on board.

Does owning a Porsche and an indecisive nature go hand in hand? Anyway, you'll be a positive person from now on...

You have made the right decision.

AND you've ALSO made the right colour choice!

Well done.

Congratulations.

Welcome to the fold and another blue one as well - well done!

Thanks all. Just off to get it. Big grin.

BTW, understand loyalty to own car etc., but we all know blue ones are fastest

[just_william]

Congrats and happy motoring, you have obviously seen the light. And for them that think blue is quickest you need to feel the tweek of the purple ones!

Hiya
Hope the collection went well. Blue ones are faster! Look forward to seeing pics! I am getting mine back tomorrow (also a 450) after having some work done, so I know how you feel!!

congrats mate and blue/purple ones are definately faster. Does it have the faired in headlights etc being an 2001?

I thought the yellow ones were the fastest. They spend their lives running away from the flys. I like other people to have yellow cars because they keep the flys off my green Chim.

Yellow ones are faster flys just like showing off how fast they can fly by landing on yellow ones

[Cavey]

Here are some pics, hopefully...

Lovely Car Cavey! Great colour combo. I bet that your jaws are already aching with the insane grin these cars give you!!!! Enjoy! Cerby.

Nice mate, I remember seeing that one advertised I think while I was looking.

[Cavey]

Cheers.

Was unconvinced about headlight conversions, and still am generally, but thought it suited this car really well (trying not to look at Smart Roadsters as I drive along ).

Driving it is just a bloody hoot . Nice thing is you get all the character below 60mph as well, unlike my old 911 where you really needed to wind it up for it to feel exciting, or really hear the engine.

And tomorrow is Saturday, and the day after is Sunday, and I wonder where I'll be...

Lovely looking interior - what seats are they in there?

[alex.tvr]

Cerb seats I think - fitted to all the late Chims.

[Cavey]

Yeah, billed as Cerb seats by the seller. They do give the interior a lift.
