If I fancied a turbo wooosh it'd have to be a Noble.

For raw grunt it'd have to be an Ultima.

Ah, what a choice

A shotgun: then I would take myself out back, and put myself out of my misery.

Seriously a 355 or something in that family.

Or a Noble.

Ferrari, when I've saved another £50k!

Still wouldn't match mine for looks though.

The thought of it - life without TVRs . . . .
Imagine life without fish 'n' chips/ Ye olde pubs/ etc

It would have to be a Noble

I reckon we should have PetrolTed set up a voting form on the homepage and take a survey . .

Maybe I am missing something here. You are about to go out of business so you sell your TVR and buy something several times more expensive. Surely if you followed that logic then you would go out of business

I think you are missing something. The original message was asking if TVR go out of business what would I buy.

To replace
- a Cerbera: Ferrari 575M
- a Tuscan: Ferrari 360 Spyder
- a Chimaera/Griffith: AC Cobra
- a Tamora: Porsche Boxter S (maybe with some Ruf treatment )

However, I wouldn't want this to stop me also filling my garage with:
- bike-engined Caterham
- Noble M12
- Lambo Murcielago
- Shelby Mustang 500 GTO

If money no object:

Any Aston Vantage Volante
Bentley Continental or Azure
Mercedes SLR
Mercedes CLK GTR
Ferrari Maranello

and to stay on the floor:

Jaguar XKR
Dodge Viper
Porsche Boxster S with power mods
Mercedes 320 SLK AMG

But, anyway, I hate all those common cars,
I will stay with the Griff!

I'd find no pizza easier than no curry

Nothing even close to a TVR in the same price bracket, save up for an Aston Martin I reckon, or a kit car with leather and a bloody big engine

sorry, but I'd take all of these over a Cerb, although if you compare them on price and running costs a Cerb is the clear winner !!!!!
