Quote----- Jonny TVR said------ Still have the TVR though,

That's a nice touch and very unusual these days, A reminder of where the roots first started.

[Jonny TVR]

Thanks all for kind comments

Congratulations to Jonny TVR - stunning car!

Congratulations Jonny well played - presumably the hunt for a Jarama is at an end then....?

This morning, had a cheeky catch up with this young pretender

Lovely S model and great owners too. Madam off the road now for her winter sleep. But will look forward to a drive out next year. I did laugh that the owner commented how epically loud the QV was when he followed me for a short distance. considering that his car was pretty insanely loud, i’ll take that compliment!

No real service history / documents and quite a lot incorrect with. Still, possible to return to former glory for a price.

Can see Jonny TVR grinning from ear to ear and getting impatient with excitement.

An early low body car, the first of the S2 400S model.

I am for sure but wondering when I will be able to use it looking at the weather forecast. Friday looks dry but not sure it will be ready by then.

Have you collected it yet or are you having it delivered?

[Jonny TVR]

I think the earliest will be this weekend. Iain is draining the fuel, fitting new tyres and some other bits and pieces before I collect. Oh and I also haven't paid for it yet

[P5BNij]

A mere trifling detail, but don't forget your cheque book!

I can only imagine the thoughts running through your mind in the run up to actually getting your hands on it....

Just brillient !! especially when Sam Hancock did a handbrake turn when he spotted the dark haired Italian beauty with the the large melons

or was it grapes,

That Simon Kidston does make really excellent vidoe's.

[Jonny TVR]

I've watched that a few times and I love it. Kidston makes some great productions .. I like the Muira one as well.

I've postponed the collection of my Countach as its going to be on the Lamborghini club stand at the NEC next month with Iain.
