Commiserations to the previous owner.. nice chap... know exactly how he feels! If only I'd been a tad hastier I could have been growling too.

Meantime, all members around the Reading area look out & give us a wave!!!

Welcome back Ed - I didnt think you would be gone for long.

Hope to see you soon - perhaps on Brighton seafront in September?

Well, suppose I'll be on here at heck of a lot again quite soon! The chap seems a decent fella & the car seems sound (although I dont know it at all), i expect there'll be the few usual little things to sort out at some point. Going to get a re-trim at some point.. hunting for the most cost effective trimmer at the mo. AP in Sprint winning so far but still quite a chunk! That's a 'one day' upgrade. There are a few little things to do qucikly.. a new front badge for example. Will be posting a series of questions soon!

Well done Ed. Your video was one of the reasons I bought my first TVR (a Griff) a few years ago so it's great to see you're back in the fold.

Yours doesn't have a red hood by any chance does it? Saw that one in the classifieds recently and I was sorely tempted!

No its standard black, however that could be on the long term list as think it looks great. not too expensive having looked at one site the other night. It's this one

Very nice. Sounds a good price as well. I actually sold the Griff and Cerb for more than I paid for them, so no worries there (the t350 is another story altogether). I should really update the Chimaera blog too - large disks, uprated calipers, paint, dash, wheels and semi slicks have all been taking their toll on my bank account recently!

Ah well, slightly cheaper than class a drugs...

As you say, fingers crossed Ed, but even if you do spend a bit it'll still be a good price So whats the first thing you're gonna do to it?

A tankfull from South Wales to a hog roast in Bucks!

Seriously.. needs a new front badge. One wheel cap has a split. Chassis needs bit of TLC before too long. Rocker covers all flaked off.. that sort of stuff. Oh need to restick the heat shielding back properly, under the bonnet. Got a high as a kite last time! Then the big one.. retrim. That's on hold for bit though! Wouldnt mind cerb seats again too of course! But the big things take 2nd place to making sure it's all healthy etc
