Just watched/heard a proud new owner drive away with the 130 dB+ Cooper Green S3 which gave me my name sake. It really did look fantastic as he drove out. Hopefully he'll be posting soon.

As some of you have guessed this is what UKBob has been hinting at for a while now.

But on the upside I have purchased a nice 4.0 K reg 92 Silver Griff!!

It's not quite as loud as the S but I'm happy. At least I'm still with TVR. If UKBob will be kind enough to host a pic you can all see the two together. The few days that were bliss for me as I had 2 TVRs and hell for my mother as: "The driveway looks like a car park!"

I suspect Tim from ACT is going to become his best friend

Here they are together
If the link is not working, its because BT are having problems this afternoon, the site seems to be down but will hopefully be up soon.

Congrats Chris, really pleased for you mate, take it slow and try not to put 50k on the clock in the first year

You lucky man, hope you enjoy it as much (not more than though)the S. Did you sell all the bits and pieces with it? If you still have the roof struts I'll take them off your hands for a few petrol tokens.

All the best

Yep, I had a load of scams, but there are a lot of people looking. I'm still fielding calls today.

Phil, off the Postie now.

He was before he bought, doubly so now, I shudder to think how close those two men will become once Chris is ready to unleash his wallet on everything tim owns which is made form carbon fibre

I just missed it, I rang up to view it and Chris said he didn't take my call cos he was watching it go up the road...

That grif looks a stunner as well, you know how to pick your cars thats for sure...


Anyone else want to sell a 6 cylinder Tiv to a rookie? I promise to look after it, and stretch its legs frequently
