Simple solution for TVR as follows:

Consign the AJP8 & Speed Six Engines to the scrap heap, and fit a lovely reiable, tried and tested Rover V8 - what a great idea!!! Should of thought of this years ago!!!

It wouldn't get the speed that the Cerbera can top so it would be like putting a 1.3 in a Capri - they did and it ruined it.

The speed six engine is a race engine and therefore cannot be as straight forward as a 1944 designed Buick V8.


It's simple if you dodn't want one buy a Griffith

some fine advice from someone who drives a worthless piece of JapCrap. You just stick to your overgrown Toyota "Charisma" or whatever it is

Why not just buy a Cerbera Convertible? ... er I mean a Chimaera (assuming you like the 'riding on a mattress' looks of a Cerbera/Chimaera)

Firstly I do not drive any form of "Jap Crap" ( do not go off my name! ), secondly; How can a Cerbera/Tuscan/Tamora be quicker when it is on the back of an AA breakdown truck???? Obviously this has touched a raw nerve.

TVR is bulls**t and nothing else: we have known that for quite a long time and maybe that's why we like them....Now if you are are here to post stupid comments like that (and which have already been posted a thousand times here) just pass your way.
It will take a long time before TVR will be reliable but I can tell you one day they will




I wish you all the Best for 2002! Just make sure you don't need to take the wheel after New Year's Eve...

Anyway I do remember a Sunny doing about 0-60 mph in about 2 seconds....

Clarkson catapulted it into the air because he thought it was the worlds worst car...he was right. boring, dull, etc.. Japanese shite

So you've been watching all the Clarkson videos repeated on UKHorizons every day over Christmas as well James.
Never get bored of watching that Cerbera waste all the other stuff in the runway drag race Or Colin Blower donutting the Griff!
