Whatever Next

[bobd]

Well I have driven the factory press Tuscan convertibles, hardtops and press Tamora. Driven a 3000M and a Chimera. I have owned a T350, Sagaris and a 4.5LW Cerb, question is whatever I seem to do I always come back to thinking that I really miss the pleasure of driving a TVR.
It really pisses me off, as just when I get a car 100% how I like it the novelty wears off and think of the negatives more than the positives and its sold.
I never seem comfortable with over £20K tied up in a Tiv. My thoughts are that I would still like a TVR, but a cheaper one for the sunny days. Question is what should I get bearing in mind it cannot be garaged as that already has its space reserved?

You need a tuscan racer next then

Seem to be missing a ChimAera from the list. I'd go for one of those

For the money they seem to be going for at the moment, you should be able to get a decent one for not a lot.

In the same predicamane t a few years ago I bought a 1970 Tuscan, having had all the modern cars as well. now it gets used every now and again, its great fun, scratches the TVR itch ( along with the TUuscan Racer) and doesnt have too much cash tied up in it

What about a wedge? Smile / noise / 'what the f$uck is that' appeal is excellent in my opinion!!

Get a well sorted Tamora - topless, and fast as a Sag (if the 4.0 redtop is fitted as a few people have). Great handling (if sorted), and I think it's a stunning little thing. £16k, and waterproof(ish) - add a cover, and everyone is a winner!

Obvious really you've never driven or owned the iconic TVR - get yourself a decent Griffith and you'll not regret it.

The roof comes off, it's a V8 and it's by far the most enduring design.

Shift whatever you have in the garage - non of my other cars would ever dare to stray into the garage if the TVR was outside!

Has to be a proper TVR, doesn't it? one with a very loud RV8.........
