Power Steering or Not??
Discussion
Currently in the process of tracking down my first TVR and have opted for a 4.0 or 4.5 Chimaera, about a 1998 version. Seen a few that I am interested in from a condition and colour perspective but a couple of them do not have power steering fitted.
Any advice on whether or not power steering is something that I really should hold out for and ignore the cars without power steering? Is there a marked difference in feedback when driving, how heavy are they when parking etc? Also a couple of dealers have offered to fit this retrospectively, good idea or not, and is £1500 the going rate for this?
This is the only question I have left to be answered and I'll hopefully be joining the TVR clan within weeks!

Thanks for this guys. Info so far is really helpful as always, especially on the PAS retro-fit option.
Dealer has already offered to drive a few back to back to help clarify my mind but there is no substitute for your experience of living with these beauties.
Any other views would be gratefully accepted? And I'll let you know what I picked.
