Just asking, as everyone I seem to see driving one looks way over 40.

I personally would have thought they were a young persons car, but doesn't seem to be the case.

I personally am 31 (30 when I bought it).

I was 26 when I bought my S3 and 28 when I bought my Cerbera ... I think there's a huge range of age groups. TVR appeals to everyone!

I think something has been said on this in Sprint this month. Apparently TVR's are 'before' or 'after' kids cars. So most owners fall into the younger (lets get one now, while we can) category, or the older (thank god they've left home, now lets get one) category.

I'm 32 and one of the 'before' owners!

I'm 45, but I have been waiting for one since I was 33!

Lorraine, who also owns the car, is 37, but has been bored sh*tlees with tales about TVR's for the last 11 years. Now she knows what I was on about!

I'm obviously doing something wrong then - I'm 41, 2nd TVR, bought 1st when I was 34 and have had kids for the whole of this time, although I did swap from Griff to Cerb so both kids can get in the car !
