Also, assume you keep them as investments?

What are your predictions on appreciation then? You must be fairly certain to hold that many of them.

You can put my name on the list, although somewhere near the bottom as I'm not exactly local. And I quite like car shows.

Have you tried the Wiltshire branch of the TVR car club? Very nice bunch of people with some serial TVR owners!

Leon - dbv8 was joking.

How much are you paying? Or are you expecting this for free? Companies charge for this service and since those who may pass your (understandably) stringent tests would probably already own a recent model TVR then I doubt you'll get what you're looking for - for free at least.

I was and I was'nt smile.

I often spend the weekends at my Sisters. She lives and works at Downside Abbey School in Stratton-on-the-fosse near Radstock so I pass through Wiltshire and am not far away.
I could be available to do some careful driving and i promise no dragstrips.

Would you have the insurance for someone to do this?. Who takes them for the MOT/service every year? surely they can do this for you.

I might be interested in helping out....

How's about you be a bit more specific about the Ts & Cs e.g how often, particular times of the day/days of the week/months of the year, what this specific route is, what driving style will be allowed e.g no more than 5k rpm at any time etc., insurance, payment/expenses covered ??

Cheers

Let me get my head around this.

You want somebody who will get themselves run over....for a bit of glass reinforced plastic which you're speculating on.

And I suspect, because you're posting this on PH, that probably don't want to pay anybody for doing this....(taking advantage of many peoples weakness to loud stuff from Blackpool...!)

Riiiiiggggghhhhtttt....

If you can afford 12 TVRs, I suspect you can afford to hire a professional to do this for you, who will gladly stay unt zee prescribed route...

bks. Got carried away and completely lost my bearings...quite correct, error in my detail which I've corrected!

All the same, my underlying point still stands.

Quite! I really can't see why people would rush to take out someones car on a set route, at a set time, at a set speed limit, in convoy to a car show, where they'd have to stay for presumably a certain amount of time before then convoying back in a set manner. Tams & Sags are hardly exotica and IMHO I fail to see what is in it for any driver mug enough to want to do this for you.

Given you're asking within the Tam, 350 and Sag forum where most people already own these cars it's hardly a once in a lifetime opportunity is it.

Can anyone confirm if this guy is for real?
Having a pic of Borat on his profile suggests we may be dealing with a joker.
If so good call winklaugh
