Hi all,
A general question just bought a 96 chim with 51k on the clock.
With not owning one before just asking what to expect of the car what is likely to break etc.
Sold a westfield to buy this.
Thanks for any advise.

Why dwell on the (possible) negatives!!!!

You'll get bits & bobs, depending on the car, but it'll be worth it.

Look at FAQ's in 'This Forum' section. Welcome to the nutty world of TVR's!

Hi, and welcome.

Answering your questions in sequence:

Expect - Blinding performance, admiring looks, you'll spend more time in your car.

Likley to break - Traction in the wet, you - into a permanent grin

Enjoy your car, and stay shiney side up

Cheers

Nice looking car mate, and a great surname!!!!
good to have another family member on board.

Very nice indeed and looks as if you bought the fastest colour as well!

So far I have had niggles with mine but nothing major - they seem very easy to work on and part prices in the main seem very resonable as well.

Nice one animal. I have a mate who is trawling these pages and mulling over the idea of getting his first "stupid" car

(if he gets his @ss in gear and stops lurking that is!)

You can't go far wrong with a thumping great V8 and in a plastic car ... and any small niggles you might get... pah, nowt that a bit of duct tape and fuse wire won't fix

Talking of which ...

OGGS! you still have my duct tape and pliers that I left in your hotel room in France!

(Don't ask ... it involved a purple velvet suit and false moustaches )

Drive her a lot.

Not a lot is likely to go wrong then, if she was a good one to start with.

I don't need to say, "Enjoy", because it is impossible not to.

Erm, no.

I have done a scientific survey over eleven years, and 250,000 miles.

The answer is actually BLUE



Unless anybody has a longer survey?
