Just taken the chim to the cotswold's for the weekend, what a hoot, car never missed a beat all weekend until the journey back. Got to the 2nd last roundabout before home (150m journey) she lost all power until i straightened her up, next roundabout did exactly the same, long left handers and she loses power, sounds and feels like fuel starvation, anyone else had a similar experience?

Could be the fuel pump starting to go........dies on you and then kicks back into life again. Could well be a number of things but I've experienced that and the fuel pump died a couple of weeks later.

P.S. Don't get disheartened so soon after your first TVR purchase, it'll get sorted soon by these friendly chaps on here !! They've already helped me out and i'm only into my third week !!

2nd problem solved, thanks to you guys and your wealth of knowledgeclap reading the forums when the fan fuse blows the horn no longer works, out i went again and sure enough the horn didn't work. Upon closer inspection i had knocked the fuse when i was trying to get to the bottom of the original fault on the fuel pump, phew i can put me wallet away now! cheers drink
