I love owning a famous car but I'm wondering whether 2 TVRs is just plain greedy.
Top Gear TVR has had a replacement chassis so it's all nice and solid and since I've owned it: gearbox rebuild, clutch, £700 of new seats, LSD, alloy rocker covers, new tyres, stainless brake hoses, 278 front brakes, vented discs at rear, alloy rad, new cooling fan, stainless and silicone pipes, halo headlights, gaz shocks and springs, surrey roof, etc, etc
It's happily done thousands of fun miles (any issues leading to serious upgrades) and pound per smile has been the best ever, especially the SPA trip!!!
So what should I do? Keep, keep or sell?

This is such a conundrum. When I had my S2 - I used to like caning it and it was eager to be caned. The V8 is just a different animal which feels like it could kill you if you overdo it. I think I would have both if I had the garage space and a road around me that wasn't congested. V6 for caning, v8 for going deaf. Its like choosing between a cat and a dog. One feels a bit more light and agile, the other heavier more planted and probably goes about the same but perhaps with a bit more aggression... Keep em both I say. A cat and dog can live together.

Can't see the point in having more than one TVR. 
If you have the space, resources and desire keep both. They are different enough in character.
The V8S was a great price and sensible purchase - imho.
As already suggested. Get TGTVR more track ready and keep the V8 for the road.
I think you would enjoy the difference a set of NS-2R tyres would make. Plus they are acceptable at Hethel!

Owning two S's is really just about one of the greediest and selfish things a person can do Steve. I hope you are ashamed of yourself. You are denying somebody somewhere the pleasure of enjoying one the most pleasurable cars it is possible to experience today.
These special cars are rare and difficult to get hold of, so for one person to own two at the same time is frankly beyond the pale.
I am just glad that I know of two that you can't get your hands on!
