I'm also im my second SP6 TVR . First one was a 2001 Tuscan owned for nearly 2 years , It had had an engine rebuild before i got it and in 2 years and 9k miles it cost me a battery £80.(loved it, Tuscans are awesome))
I am currently in a SP6 cerbera 2003 as I needed seats for the twins I have just noticed a split in the manifold that will need welding but so far so good but i have only had it 3 months!!.

Don't worry guys, in the interest of balance I have poored the kids inheritance into mine. Still the list of jobs grows. Can't see me getting rid of it though. The only way I could face parting with a speed six is to buy another, but would still want a cerb so maybe an AJP8 and a matching Tuscan? Lottery time.
