hello,
i looked at buying this car it was for sale at ignition car sales in accrington?.this was september 05 for £15,500 anyhow the garage had no clue about TVRs they tried telling me it had a rover v8 in it and the running costs should be minimal.Also there was not much history with this car.I drove it and it definitly felt weak compared to the one ive now got-it struggled to spin the wheels in heavy rain in first and second.When the sales man started it up he red lined it from cold a few times with a grin on his face and said'it sounds well',i thought it wont for long if you do that regular.

I went to look at it at ignition as well, was first one i went to see and it nearly put me of buying one, thought the number plate said it all, theres far better out there just keep looking.

thats what i was thinking! I cant put my foot down in 1st 2nd or 3rd on mine if the road is wet/damp, maybe it the tyres tho?!lol!

I looked at a yellow one going for £16k before i got mine, and after driving mine was so glad i didnt buy it. The thing didnt pulled anywhere near like mine does, and hesitated alot through the rev range. It was deffinatell missing! Plus i had to tell the salesman if he wanted me to buy it he'd better stop thrashing it when it was cold. hence i didnt buy it!
