I just can't keep away....

Following a Griff 500 and an awful Mk1 Tuscan, I am having a final crack at the TVR whip with this little number. It's off for a retrim, but otherwise as you see it. Been away with an Alpina for 2 1/2 years.

Looking forward to being back in the fold.

Very nice indeed!

Worth checking what shocks it is running as if they are the original harvey bailey ones it is well worthwhile trying Nitrons or Gaz. Oh....and carbon cans wink

Fitted with Nitrons.
It's was a lovely thing to drive when I went for the TD. Miles better than my Mk 1.

Yep, actually just casually glanced at the classifieds (as you do) and noticed they were fitted. They are nice when set-up well, aren't they?

Noticed it was decatted too.....!

Ah.. good news. I looked like it was very well cared for when I viewed it.

Alan C... if you are looking in on this thread....? I will make sure it will continue to be well looked after.

An ill handling thing + ongoing mechanical issues. It wasn't the best of cars when I had it. I believe that the guy who bought it from me has got it fully fettled now.

I thought i'd seen the OP's car before but looks like it was coincidence both being from the same dealer!

You've got a 3rd "snap" here on the interior side as I think we all have portland grey/pacific blue. I'm having the carpets redone in the original Stratos blue from the original supplier but thinking about getting some work done on the door cards as the alcantara has had better days.

OP - Congrats on the purchase. The colour looks awesome and you'll really enjoy the mk2 i'm sure thumbup
