Well after 3 yrs of ownership - its an emotional morning. In 90 minutes I head south to hand over Terry the Tasmin to his new owner.

This car has been the centre of club days out and has lead mostly from the front

Yeh there was the time when petrol used to pour out of the cap on left hand bends! (fixed)
Yeh ok you did all leave me in Helmsley market place when the immobiliser cut in and wouldnt clear (fixed)
And there was the time when the headlights stuck up at half mast (fixed)
But all of this just fades away when I think of the enjoyment that car brought.
It was the first TVR my little lad ever had a drive in.
He was sick all over the velour
It was the 280 that out cornered Wedg1e at croft
So it has to go today
Make way drivers on the A1 south cause Im coming through

Let's hope that enough fanatics remain to keep these cars in good shape. Last I heard, my old Tasmin was in a pile of bits.

Oh, as for Croft: next time, Richard, next time...
Though I've no doubt you'll have a Griff 500 before long....

spookey thing was that I parked it in exactly the same bay in stevenage railway car park as the previous woner did for me when I bought it - whats the likelihood of that?
