Love these! They are like a sporty alien spaceship. I'd assume they are so rare they must be basically depreciation-proof right?
They dipped as low as early to mid 20s back when TVR had collapsed and the brand was at its lowest ebb. Nowadays they are going for twice that value and climbing. It's a very safe place to have your money these days!
Fabulous in every respect!
There is a thread about "old" cars that could still be produced today and not look out of place and that is the epitome of that thread. The interior looks almost motor show concept style that you think will never make production, TVR at their best! Clarkson described the interior of a Cerb from a similar era I think as "from the '50's the two thousand and fifties!" Great appropriate line.

Utterly sick! I LOVE it! If funds would permit I’d have one all day long. That’s the type of colour mad fast machine should be in too, not Audi battleship grey!
I’m in love! When you want to sell (which you probably never will)! I want it!!! I’ll sell the wife, house, kids, cars, bikes, the lot :-)

To those who spotted the road in Hong Kong, good call! The car spent a few years there but is now back home where it belongs. First impressions are excellent. There's a real composure and surefootedness to it that is missing in early Tuscans. Although it still gets a little wayward over bumpy roads, it's much more adjustable than a MK1 Tuscan and doesn't hit the bump stops aggressively, and due to the slower rack and improved suspension, is no longer immediately heading in a different direction. Fit and finish is same old TVR really so there's some work to do there.
As usual some areas of the design are utter genius, but others frustrating. The knurled aluminium wheel in the centre console twists left to open the passenger door and to the right for the driver, it's beautifully damped and makes such a mundane task a joy - which is what made TVR great. On the contrary, the periscope style digital dash is nigh on impossible to read with the roof off, so none of the vital temperatures or speed can be seen unless you've got the roof fitted. D'oh!
The close ratio 'box is excellent and keeps the old sixer howling, and the noise is just utterly ridiculous. I've got it on fully sleeved cans and decats at the minute and it's actually a bit much. I'll probably de-sleeve the standard cans and progress from there. The paint is just staggering. No amount of photographs could ever do it justice, it's spectacular and I can see exactly why it was a £3500 option.
