please someone buy it and destroy the pile of jumk, its not an engine its a headache,
if you need an engine do a conversion to a decent one, german,jap or yank.
Why wase time with some thing that has been proven over and over again to be rubbish?

Well it can be made not rubbish with cash thrown at it ! The questions is as time goes by how many owners will want to commit to spending large amounts on them ?

For my money the AjP and the Speed Six set TVR apart from the rest of the component car makers.
During the sixties Americans held a similar blinkered view of Italian exotica.. pile of junk replace it with a lump of good old home grown cookin` iorn ..thankfully that neanderthal approach has been overturned with the restoration of correct componentry .
Pegaso owners had no problem with returning their cars to Spain for required servicing,Ferrari owners have lived with various shortcomings over the years, try a Testarossa water pump for instance and ask any lamborghini owner about the regularity of a clutch change or the price of a replacement headlamp for your Maserati Quatroporte !!!!
Sure the Six has its issues but there`s no disputing that ultimately the sum of its components will ensure its survival amongst people who search for a quality and uniqueness.
If it`s out of your league better stick to a Jap or German diesel !
