Got one! Very Happy :D

Hi all,
Have been reading these forums for ages and sought advise more recently but now finally own a TVR!

4L, 1996, engine rebuild at TVR Power @ 30k currently on 64k and new clutch 6k ago. Had it inspected by Heath from X-Works who gave it a good bill of health. He picked it up for me gave it a good service and have been driving it on and off for the past month. Can't recommend Heath / X-Works enough, very helpful and did a great job for me.

Needs a few small cosmetic things sorting on it (which I can just about deal with) but mechanically seems great! (touch wood)

Thanks to Haircutmike and Alexdaredevilz for the advice/passenger rides too - helped me a lot.

[Alexdaredevilz]

Thanks - I am told by the previous owner that they are Ferrari 355 seats. I have the originals too but I think they may just sit in the bubble wrap.

Well done Simon!

It looks like a very nice example, look forward to seeing it .

Welcome to the TVR mad house.

The fastest style of lights

Very nice (I prefer the look of the pre-facelift cars, so thats worth a few extra horses too)

[captaintact]

Looks great! Enjoy.
BTW the front grill looks like an earlier model? I prefer this to the divided later one but i thought it changed before 96? I must be wrong?

[4Lmike]

I think it changed in '98

[RobSte]

Nice one Simon, im jealous. Look forward to seeing you and the guys at an upcoming meet sometime. Car looks good.

They started to change late '96 I think but I imagine the compete change wasn't until '98

Nice car.

Have fun.

Simon.

It is the rules on PH ,as quantified by his hopefulness, "Daz", that everyone who has bought a chim, to be accepted into the fold, has a power run on a dyno and posts the graph on the forum for every one to see and discuss said merits, (or not) of graph and resulting increased manliness.

Good luck!

Welcome to the fold!

You WILL enjoy it!
