No longer a ‘TVR Wannabe’

[TVR Wannabe]

Picked up the Tuscan from S6 ROR (Nigel) yesterday. Lovely car and in fantastic condition. Drove it from Soham to Gloucester to check on a property I have over there, then onto NE Lincolnshire where I live - a good few miles to test it out. Car was faultless and a real pleasure to drive. As it was a sunny day, I drove from Gloucester to NE Lincolnshire with the Targa removed. At a certain speed (not for publishing on here), I got a bit of a fright when the rubber seal which sits above top of window decided to go for a wander, but I managed to catch it.

Now tucked up in bed

Looks great. Impressed at how quickly you went from looking to having on your drive (well, container!).

I put up a few *wanted* posts across various FB groups and social media sites. I received many messages about cars that weren’t yet advertised for sale, but owners were thinking about it. I think the the next few months will see quite a few Tuscans hitting the classifieds as summer arrives and Covid restrictions are eased.

Eventhough I was initially looking for a convertible with loud paint, the pics, history and car file sent to me about the 2007 Targa got my interest. It’s also good to buy from no bullst people who are genuine and nice to deal with. Nigel and his missus ticked that box.

He has had loads of TVRs, always fully maintained and immaculate.
I have met the two of them - decent people.

When I was looking for a new car I enquired about his Tamora (which I think is back up for sale at a dealer) and he was the only person I was in touch with who was completely honest about his car and who wasn't bothered about answering lots of question. Seems a nice bloke.

To the OP nice looking car, congratulations

He’s had 14 x TVR’s. Incredible.

I don't think it will end a 14 though.

Hope that this doesn't start a TVR ownership Top Trumps ..........

Very nice.

Is that a standard size shipping container?

Standard size container is 8ft wide. This container has been widened to 10ft. The length on my container is 20ft, but can come in smaller sizes. They can even join containers to make 20ft x 20ft garages and add traditional roller doors. I opted for flat steel doors with rubber compressed door seals to turn it into a weathertight steel sarcophagus for the Tuscan.

I’m really pleased with it. Much cheaper than brick garage and arguably more secure, damp-proof and weatherproof. If you move house, take it with you.
