Only just realised today that I've done 20,000 miles in the 400 since I bought it in Oct 06!
And it's been so 'unreliable' - I mean, bloody window switch failing on me like that, talk about being let down (me, not the window obviously!)
Just goes to show how right all those 'moaning Joes' are - TVR's going wrong 'all the time'!
huh, gutted, honest

Totally agree. What is it with owners who leave their cars in the garage for the whole of winter and autumn? I know, each to their own, but big block V8's need using as much as possible. Get 'em 'ot and use 'em a lot!
In 16 months of having the 450 Chim, 10,000 miles, one oil sender unit and one overheat on day 2 of ownership! Can't be bad. Oh, and cra*ped all over the porker carrera's this year at Le Mans.

I guess you're lucky, had mine for coming up seven months and am now using it daily, I've done 5k so far in it and have had to have gearbox rebuilt due to synchromesh failing on 5th/reverse, I've had an intermittent electrical fault that's now fixed, I've got a leak I'm about to fix on my header tank and my radiator's on the way out. Once these are done the car will be tip-top, but that's more than a fair share of problems I think...
Wouldn't change it though (the car, that is), more smiles per mile than any other car for the money!

Well done mate, we got ours the same day as you and have only managed to cover 5,000 in the same time which includes the blast down to Le Mans last month. Only problem to date has been a leaky shock, perhaps we bought the unreliable ones?Note to self - drive it more!
