It's still a milestone in my heart ('scuse the Pun) laugh

Photo from those lovely days when she was running (Nordschleife)

Mines been sitting in garage for 1.5 years almost. Heads were done a few months ago. The big ends were being fixed a few weeks ago. I have no idea when the car will be running.

I'm kind of looking. I'd prefer a 2000 with the 'newer' look but that means waiting until 2025 and with the economy tanking I'm in no hurry...I guess. There was one for sale on eBay here recently out of Beverly Hills CA, it only reached $46,xxx and didn't get to the reserve. There was a buy it now price of $80,000, which wasn't going to happen but you can always ask.

I thought about buying a couple, one to keep and one to flip, but with the economy in the tank, no one is parting with their cash, so I'm left to stare.
I've seen some that look to be in fantastic shape from some members here, https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1480719,https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13863028, and at one point @Aide listed his car, although far too new for me to get involved with - although his is just about perfect.

Hi Gazz wavey

May I ask what work you had done to your heads ?
( .... and whom you chose for such a challenging job ? )

Ta !

Hi. The garage in Leeds got TVR power to do the heads work. I didn’t know they were being done until I got the bill. Think it was about £4.5k from memory. It adds up. They were not in a great way after various rebuilds that had been performed in the past. Hopefully the total rebuild of the heads will sort. Hopefully I’ll get the car back in time for its 22nd birthday.

21 maybe, but since it's been on stands for 50 months, isn't it effectively dead? Doesn't sound much of a 21st to me!

HiYa Lucy,

and a Very Happy New Year to you too !

Thank you for taking time out from the abattoir to make your particularly well-observed, subtle comments.

I took a wander down your profile to try and understand why the hell you come out with such vindictive tripe.
(Cure is better than Killing)

and what do I find ?

....absolutely nothing of value.

Please desist offering anything on my posts, from that dormant organ resting, undisturbed, under your parietal bone.

Love 'n' absolutely-no-respect,

Paul

Ah Paul - if it wasn't for the abattoir dwellers the rest of us wouldn't look so good. We all know who they are and give them due regard. :-)
