My 1992 TVR V8S. Had it since late 2011 and not done many miles in that time. I ought to take it out more.
That's a great looking V8S, always had a 'thing' for these and the S Series. Genuinely hugely underrated classic sports cars.

I have posted this as the bloody thing is annoying me at the moment. It now looks like I need a new gearbox (thankfully have one in the shed), but have managed a grand total of 18 miles this year.

Respray comes next. DIY. It'll be a horror show.

You can forgive it anything when it looks as good as that.

Very, very nice! Good arrival video, showing your plate so pointless blocking them out in the pics! The plates are the ONE thing I would change though - nice acrylic or even metal ones. No R reg Capri had those plates. I know why they're on there but that doesn't make it right!

The cars look clearly isn't standard, so what difference does the choice of plate make?

None to the owner obviously, which is great. They just look wrong visually to me ... it’s all opinions. The colour’s fantastic though.

Nice motor - apart from the wheels. Stock rims would make it a classic. IMHO biggrin

I agree wholeheartedly. A great clean looking car and I do t know why the Ford fraternity are so keen on black plates. Looks so wrong to me.

Carry on..
