Weekly use/Cold Starting

[chosen 1 den]

I would appreciate some advice on cold starting. I only get to drive my TVR at weekends, sometimes going two weeks without driving it. Now that the winters here, is there anything I should do before firing up or is the engine likely to be sufficiently lubricated to avoid any wear?

There isn't a great deal you can do and i wouldn't have thought it necessary for such a short period.
Just make sure it is kept in a dry place and definately use a battery conditioner to keep the battery fully charged.

Agree with Ian (great timing!) Ours will only get used infrequently over the winter months and we use an Accumate battery conditioner throughout the year. I hope there is sufficiant covering of oil over the innards even after several weeks. Hadn`t used ours for three weeks up to last Sunday but started her up in the garage and ran until at normal temp, also driving back and forth a few feet for clutch release and movement of wheels
