Oh yes !!

Great looking car, cracking colour !!

[Athlon]

Thank you very much, apparently it was owned by TVR first for a couple of years so has full leather and other goodies

Very excited about collecting it next week, down side is a big run down the M6 means tomorrow will be mostly scraping salt of the Lexus!

[VerySideways]

Looks great, well done, love the color.

[pincher]

Nice!

I used to like the Griff most of all but these are really growing on me aesthetically (sp?) - one day I will own a TVR!

[Chimjunkie]

Well done Athlon!

[Blues]

Congratulations, and welcome to the fold!!
Take it easy, and keep her shiny side up

[big geoff]

Hi nice to here you are a TVR owner im also a spanner man they are good cars quite basic to repair just a bit hard to get to some areas and also parts can be a bit on the high side if you dont shop around this forum is of great help .

[Athlon]

Thanks everyone ! can't wait until Saturday, even giving the garage a good scrub!

[Red Cabbage]

Really pretty.

Has that come from Tony Gilbert?

[Furyous]

Be VERY interested to here your opinions on the driving experience in comparison/relation to the Caterham.

Lovely looking car though!

[kenny Chim 4]

Yes, lovely looking car. It appears that, much as it has the under mirror buttons and extended boot lip, it has the back-lit rear numberplate. A mix of older and newer.

It's ironic that the chap I bought my current car from sold it to buy a Caterham..

What a nice looking car. I'm jealous...

[Athlon]

Thanks, yes it is from Tony, the paper trail seems to show it as a factory car so it is unusual in spec, it has lumbar seats, full leather, back lit plate, older rear lights, later front etc etc, it is in fine shape and I am sure I will feel guilty driving it home in all this salt

I am interested to see what it feels like after the Caterham, I am certain it will not be as dynamic but on paper it is faster and should be less twitchy on bumpy corners? the 7 could be a handfull on rough roads.

Tons of history including factory stamps and it is really tidy inside and out, can't wait until Saturday!

Thanks again for all the nice comments

Happy new year

[Athlon]

Big day tomorrow hope the trains are running.....wish me luck, at least the weather looks like it may be reasonable.

Can't wait

Make sure you know exactly where you are going. Mobile phones don't work too well in Napton.

What colour is that BTW Viper Blue?
