Thanks Dave, sadly both the Tiv's are memories now, but I'm seeing another one on saturday morning.


..one thing I can't help commenting on with your's.. IMO Clear side repeaters .. in the picture the orange doesn't seem to sit quite right with the gold.
might be different in the flesh ?

Cheers

Anyone know the name of the wheels then?
The're the same as mine and I always wondered what to call them - Other than 5.0L wheels.

As all TVRs are painted to order in any specified colour it's not limited edition, more like unique! Rich...
