I miss Betty so much. If anyone knows where she is, I'd love to bore the new owner to death.

Thank you

Stretched myself to buy her. Within 2 months I had to renew cams and vernier gear, skim heads etc etc

Then it got vandalised...


I just couldn't afford it all. What's gutting is that only a short while later I got a new job, more pay and could have done.

Oh no that is terrible, what low life scum. TVRs are very rarely targeted by vandals so guess you were unlucky. That is very unlucky with regards to the engine too. Griffs very rarely throw up big bills unexpected if they are well maintained. I don't think many people on here could afford all that work so shortly after buying.

Looks like a lovely car, and being a blue one it will be a fast one wink

Ever considered returning to the fold or is it a case of once bitten twice shy?

I could be wrong but did Fernies have your old car recently?

Yup. Sold it to Fernies. Real shame because it only needed a £150 part to be perfect. At that point I had no money left and HAD to get rid.

Will certainly have another sometime but at the moment it's all about debt repayment.

I've learnt the error of my ways.

Ah but with a motor like that, the gorgeous babes are 10 a penny, surely! At least until the beardy bald chap driving puts the roof down! wink
