I put a blog out on PH in reference to getting the back window screen stitched and the best price i could obtain was £150....

My parents believe or not come from the same village as the belated Gianni Versace in southern Italy. They too are also amazing with a thread and needle - Repair job cost £1.79 plus a good few hours.

I hope you like the pics....

That colour is very nice - all I can say is drive and enjoy the car!

Afterall, they were not built to be garage queens...

cheers Nosh. She is going to be my everyday car, so am driving her everywhere. Just had her sleeved too... (sorry neighbours)

I was patient, and waited for the right colour and condition.

Starmist Chianti.... lovely indeed.......

cheers bud.

cool. Starmist Chianti and Portland Grey is a lovely combo. I really love the colour too. Have not spotted on this colour on the road as yet, but hope to meet a few with the TVR circle.

When i picked my car up from Kerridges(UK) there was a starmist chianti being serviced, but that one had black interior.

I hope to enjoy for a very long time, i have an awful habit of changing cars as i get itchy feet foe something different. MY friends do n ot think i will have it for more than 6 months!! I need to prove then wrong.

cheers buddy.

Had it checked by Kerridges also 3 mechanics who own Chimaera's on Sunday last week! no mention about the discs. They did say give it a real hard drive as it needs to be cleaned out as its been sat for many months (1300 miles in 7 years). But will get it checked over again today. th
