How Many People Stick With TVR's?

[Flintstone]

I was wondering what the proportion might be of people who buy a TVR and when the time comes to replace it get another?

Or whether the majority have one for the experience and move to something else?

I'm on my second.

[seymourski]

I have had 3 (Griff, Tuscan, Tuscan MkII S) and have half a Sagaris at the factory.....there's nothing quite like them in my opinion.

[hollowpockets]

im just on my first, plan to try other models later, nothing really is quite the same as driving a TVR, NOTHING!

[pooh]

Hi hollow pockets
I have had 2, don't have one at the moment but I will have one again.

[pdtvr]

I bought a nearly new 350i in the late '80s and bought a new Griffith 500 in 1997 which I still own. Am currently contemplating buying one of the last new Sagaris left in dealer stock which I would intend to keep for several years. Have absolutely no interest whatsoever in owning any other brand of sports car this side of a Lamborghini Murcielago or Aston Martin Vanquish, neither of which are in my price range. Nothing, but nothing, holds the same fascination for me as a TVR.

I have had 8 and wouldnt be without one, converted a few people to.

Well done, that man!

I've always been a bit of an easy target for a fast car, been fortunate and had a decent selection in the past. I never relly gave TVR a second thought previously and considered them plastic kits made for hooligans.....how right I was...Bloody Marvelous they are too...
I'm now on my first, as it's a Cerbera anything else would be a backward step , might get one of those old Chimnea thingys soon too, for wifey.

[RayVonn]

I've had a few too. Love 'em.

On my 4th;
Griff 4.3
Griff 5.0
Tuscan standard 4.0
And now a Sagaris.

Each one just gets better, an more expensive to run.

Even managed to get a mate out of his 911 and into a Cerbera.

The Alfa is going great, thanks. I certainly hope to be at Knockhill this year.

On my 7th : 280i, 390se, 3 Griff 500's, Cerbera and Tuscan. All of them have been a mixture of frustration and huge fun nothing really comes close at the price.

[Tangoed]

On my second and don't see a change on the horizon, Hope they make more!

[D14 ays]

First TVR was a beautiful 390se loved that car,second is a 4.3 griff in the fast blue colour i love TVRs ,Show me a better car for the money

[Big Ashy]

Just the one and am well and truly smitten! Thought about chopping the Griff in for newer straight six models, but nothing beats the sound of a big V8.

[BossCerbera]

There's no turning back once you've had one.

[threespins]

Bought my first in 1978, now got a Chim and a 3000M and have had eight in total. They just get better.

On my first one. Have had it three years and can't see it being changed for a very long time. Can't think of a single reason why I would want to.

May at some point get another one, probably an M or earlier.
