Ok well i personally think its time we had a thread where people can say how good speed six tvr's are and general any good stuff....

So here goes bought my 04 T350T 6K on the clock fdsh for £26k in march broke down in april (fuel pump relay) spent further 2k having everything put right not that it needed doing but for my own piece of mind, had her back 6 weeks now and can honestly say its the best money ive ever spent. nothing on earth makes me happier than openong the garage and taking her out (apart from my daughter that is). and i smile for hours after i park her up.
And even thought i'll probably never track her and realise the full potential i can also say its the quickest thing i have ever driven.

Should have posted a 'S6 is rubbish' thread.

I think mine is fantastic.
Looks great, sounds great, gets fantastic looks, goes like sh**e off a shovel.
Absolutely no problems in 3k miles.
It's even great to drive in town.
The only two gripes I have are poor turning circle and awful interior light, still can't have everything.

I'm more than happy, great fun on a wet track day at Cadwell Park last week, Zolder to do next week. Already had a two week tour of SPain this year - all in TVRs

Problems? - Need to go to work between playtimes

The cars have soul, simple as that, you either get or you don't!
I think the owners who love them possess passion in bucketloads

The thrill it gives every time we drive it far outweighs the odd (and sometimes serious) niggles, owning one of these isn’t like owning an ‘A to B’ tool, it’s not a soulless, passionless uber reliable brick, it’s so much more – and when driven, everything clicks and all is right in the world – that feeling is priceless.
I honestly couldn’t think of any other car to replace it for the happiness is gives!

Been out Tiving so only just caught this.Been playing around Buckinghamshire which has some good minor a roads and even some B's. The T350 is a marvel of a car. I love the engine which is as sweet as anything I have ever owned and that list includes BMW straight sixes and the fabulous 3 litre Alfa V6, the shape is simply beautiful and the cabin more special than anything south of .............can't think of anything recent-even Ferrari has lost the way with interior design with mock F1 bits and bobs litterd about the steering wheel and ugly shades of cow skin.

Yippee!

Love my Sagaris and Tuscan S convertible. 9,000 trouble-free miles (7,500 in Sagaris in six months, 1,500 in Tuscan in six weeks). Only problem has been soggy driver's footwell in Sagaris. Other than that, perfect. Certainly no engine or mechanical issues. Absolutely love them both! (And I don't even miss my V8 Cerbera.)

The engine is the most reliable part of my car! Ironically its the one bit Ive learnt *not* to worry about!

Well I find it funny anyway, even if the fiancee finds the "interesting" behavior or my car less amusing. She doesnt quite see the irony

Awesome cars! Been out in Tamora's and T350's but for me I prefer the GT esqueness of the T350... Went to Folembray in Flashers old T350 and that was a cracking car dynamically and beautiful.

I'd have one apart from reliability concerns - but thats my decision... on the same note I would love a E36 BMW M3 Evo but I have concerns over the VANOS issues and again on the same note, my brother had to replace some items on the front suspension of his Clio Williams that cost him £1500 the other day

Maybe I'm a "car hypochondriac"?

Enjoy your TVR's - they have serious character


you are welcome to have a quick blast in the saggy anytime.
