I have bought an S3, I pick it up next week when I'm down at the classic show in Birmingham. I also have a Chim and can source most parts very easily. Can't seem to find much for the S3, anybody have any good sites where I can buy accessories and parts.
Cheers

Welcome to the most underrated, yet the best TVR...

If you get any specific issues, here is the best place to raise them...particularly indicator lines and radiator caps!!!

...if your wife takes you on one of the S-club Euro tours, then you will understand what they are all about... wink

Come to the Central Scotland TVR meeting - lots of experience of the S Series, good advice, help available if you need it, piss taken if you deserve it.

Great cars, you'll love it.

That S3 is a very good choice. You're gonna love it! thumbup
You will have to come on next year's Eurotour, because that's our backup car. smile

The vendor is quite a good guy as well. ( Apart from his strange fetish with all things stainless wink ) I think he only sold that lovely silver S to make space for a DeLorean.

Ha ha, my arm is easily twisted for car runs! Only problem is by the time the run comes round the S will be girlyfied. Does stainless go with pink???? Maybe I should get her something different for her birthday and keep it myself

Best birthday present ever!
Now you are just going to have to beg her to let you navigate for her on next year's Eurotour. Ladies are always welcome, especially ladies with S's.

This year Karen151 enjoyed the Tour so much, she bought her own V8S as soon as she got back home. And Anita, Ange , Joanne, Julie & Shirl all enjoyed the trip.
( Apologies if I've missed any girls out, but it was a hectic schedule! ).

It would be a shame if you were left at home twiddling your thumbs up in Perthshire. frown

Does stainless go with pink?
I have no idea, you'd better ask Phillpot wink
I know that my pink onesie goes well with purple. yikes
