How old are TVR owners?

[kevin53]

Just a curiousity question here! Im 22 and just bought my 1st TVR. Its a T350 and have wanted one for ages but things just kept getting in the way!
The only thing is it only seems to be older people that are interested in them, while all the young people are only intersted in things such as skylines and evos.
Is there any other young TVR owners out there?

YOU LUCKY LITTLE st!

Nice one, well done for realising a dream so early! I'm and old bugger compared to you and got mine at 30, wanted one since I was about 25.

They're all really old, with beards...

...apart from the lady TVR owners, obviously...

That's no way to talk about Griff owners

22 now but yeah! Nice one on the 350 fella Another young'n on here is itsallyellow he's 21 and has had a cerb since 17! I don't think its as clear cut as all young people are interested in Skylines and Evos and all old blokes are into TVRs, but I'm glad they're not young people cars as it helps to keep them a bit special!

Lady owner at 32, minus the beard.. haha - consider myself pretty lucky to be driving a TVR! Would never have imagined it 5 years or so ago..

Loving it to bits...

I thought I was young. I bought my TVR tuscan when I was 29. (now 30). Maybe i need a flat cap and pipe since i am now an older TVR owner.

Good on you for buying one. Such awesome cars.

Im 26, also with a T350. After a year I still love every minute behind the wheel. Always wanted a TVR since I knew what a car was, and when the T350 came out I said I've got to have one of those before Im thirty! Dream realised, now just very skint!

Still you only live once

Old git here, it took me till I was 44 to get mine. Work and other things got in the way. I ordered a Griff in 1990 but when it was my turn things had changed so it was 16 years before my time came again... worth the wait though

30 when I got one of the first new TVR350i S2s .. had to let it go when I moved to the USA (Rover 3.5-itis) after 2 corvettes going to buy a Chimaera next time over ... you do the mathematics .. anyway you're only as old as the TVR you're driving!

Loved them since I was 17 when I watched the Clarkson video when the Cerb stuffed the more expensive exotica.
Eventually got my first Chimaera at 24, my second at 26, then got my Tuscan last year at 28. I'm 29 today and the Tuscan is staying with me! Love it!

[Onzlouk]

27, only had the cerbera for a few months and always have wanted one. I use it every day and its just getting more enjoyable as i get used to it......................................................................................
.........Am i still young?

I couldnt have got one at your age though....nice one, you jammy

Another old git / grumpy old man here.

Fell in love with TVR's at a London Motor Show when I was about 16 but had to wait until my 50th birthday (self bought present) and now heading inexorably towards 54!

Well worth the wait.

[madbadger]

Got the Tamora at 27.

Had it a bit over 4 years now.

[ph1l5]

Chim at 28, and I can't belive I waited till then !!

[Ubernoober]

TVR in your early twenties? Strewth! I had to make do with a rotten Sunbeam Rapier when I was 23.

Had to wait another 3 kids, 10 houses and 30 years to get my Chimaera - but, boy, was it worth the wait!!
