That's a shame but sure you'll find something to replace it, at least you know what you are looking at too so should get a nice one, although know it's hard to be patient lol

Only kinda know what I'm looking for even so! Prod the chassis a bit, look under seats for mouldy carpets...that sort of thing. Other than that it'll be fingers x'd again! And bear in mind I've had 2 completely ace TVRs.. is it possibly to have 3 times on the trot!!!!????

cheers

does that really matter, what about the car as a whole..

My first griff was full leather.
2nd is not.

To be honest most people would think it is full, and to be honest is a bit more hard wearing.

not sure but did the ambla in later cars improve? Sat in a late half hide Chim not long ago & the fake stuff was great. Compare this to the fake stuff in the 96 car I looked at.. was nasty!

[Paul V]

Maybe look at a car and find one you want then get it checked out by someone to make sure it's a good one? My interior isn't bad but only half hide, have driven a car with full leather it was nice though, think just look at a few and before you make your mind up.

Took me nearly a year last time! Less patient these days I reckon. However, I've made myself a promise NOT to get a loan this time so that stops me getting an LE for example!
