It's good to be back!

Picked my new toy up from Str8six on Monday and despite having owned one 10 years ago I feel like a total TVR novice all over again. In a good way. Can't stop thinking about it (or shaking!) and loving every minute so far. Did a great run down to the coast on Thursday (but was shat on by what must have been a low-flying cow and it's left its mark on the bonnet) and been out and about on some lovely B roads around Bracknell here today. Previous owner must have either been fairly well-heeled or a real enthusiast or both as quite a lot's been upgraded; certainly feels different to my previous Griff which was totally standard. This one's had wheels, brakes, suspension, exhaust, headlights, seats, engine rebuild, air con, numerous leven bits, trickle charger plus a few other bits and I had power-steering fitted prior to collection. Plus I just love the colour combinations. Very happy man, although I know it's early days! Hope to get to some meets soon and swap stories. Regards, Nick

Ps Only seems to be letting me download one pic??

Sounds like a top motor. Have to agree that interior colour combo is very nice. Enjoy.

Thanks! The sense of occasion taking it out almost makes me blush. Or maybe that's just my heart rate! I'll try another photo!

Yes Tuscan seats. After a while I found the original seats of my previous Griff unbearably uncomfortable and a very strange design when I thought about them (I'm a Chiropractor!) but these Tuscan seats are in a different league. Very comfortable as well as supportive. Was so pleased to find a Griff that I actually liked and wanted that already had them fitted as I gather they're not cheap!
