[quote=PGNSagaris]...because the Sag is a much cooler car, looks better and he won't have to wait two years..

Possibly but it will be slower in a straight line, round corners etc for similar money to the basic new griff.

Why not put your name on the waiting list for the new Griffith for similar money?
Hey Jonny, fair question.

I know that the new TVR will be a great car but if you see my past cars it’s clear how I pick them looking at a 2010 Gran Turismo!

I am just a sucker for old slow cars. I have an Aprilia RSV4 to go fast on track ;-)

So I understand the engine rebuild point - but it also depends what is a rebuild. Full teardown? Only the heads...something to look at.

It doesn't scare me anyways smile

I will give a call to str8six - from what I can tell they are THE place to go for TVR shopping/repairs.

I assume if the OP has asked the question then I am allowed to post a link?

Mine is 2006, with air con and close ratio gearbox. And it's had a rebuild by Str8six, improving it to the 4.3 spec, with nearly two years left on the engine warranty. I doubt you'll find a better combo, but I haven't priced it higher than the others currently for sale. You'd be welcome to come and see it, ideally before the baby is born! https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...
