I didn't even realise he was alive still. You never hear anything about him these days.

I expect he's far from the oldest, but my dad is 66 and still drives the M-series he's had since 1972 quite enthusiastically.

My old man must win this! He is incredibly old. Like really old. How he still drives a TVR god only knows. But he does. And should be awarded with this coverted title. Unless anyone is older than 104 blah

I think you will find she is called Lili. At least I have still got hair and a garage full of TVR's that are all driveable, mot'd taxed and were made in Blackpool. And how can I be old when I have only been driving TVR's for 40 years.

Not sure exactly but I am pretty sure Seasider is in his early 80's... could even be older, certainly looks it.

I thought your (mental) age was older than mine but apparently not ! I appear to have matured to about 8 athough this may be because I now have to drive to the station in Chimmy and it may be losing its appeal. Tuscy still makes me feel 6 or so !
