Potential Owner, if I save enough!!
Discussion
The dedicated website is this one!!
There are links to lots of 'S' series information.
Get yourself a copy of the Steve Heath manual aka The Bible, (If I didn't mention it he would fairly quickly anyway).
Keep your eyes peeled and don't buy the first car you see. There are a lot of rough cars out there, which on the surface look okay.
Maintenance history is important even if a local garage has done it. Lots of people will tell you full TVR service history is important which I personally disagree with, especially after experiencing some dealers, I wouldn't trust them with a push bike! As the cars are getting on a bit, a lot of us do our own maintenance or know a trustworthy mechanic anyway, and after all there is nothing magical about the 'S' series in terms of maintenance.
For more information, talk to owners. Trackdays and sprints are a good source of information as the cars are usually owned by mechanically minded people who have seen many of the problems already.

There is a link from the main PistonHeads page to the S series which contains some good stuff.
You will also benefit from looking back through the S forum threads and try and get along to a club meeting - let me know where you live / work and I'll dig out the details.
Finally buy Steve Heaths S Bible, its excellent value and gives buying advice as well info on just about everything - version 2 is even more comprehensive than version 1 (I have both).
Good Luck,
JSG.
