No doubt about the S!

[yknot]

So, today had a fine day out with the new acquisition and can report another satisfied owner!

I intended to take a few photographs of the S about the New Forest with the obligatory horses and donkeys, plus glorious views of the landscape and possibly a few boats in the background but, bugger that, I couldn't stop driving it!!!

However, I did take one when unpacked from storage!!!

Nice

Had a beautiful drive out in the new forest yesterday. Where are you based?

I'm over the east side of the New Forest (Waterside area) and, I guess from your profile, you are in the Bournemouth area?

Nice Chim, BTW!! My old Chim is over on the island (Wight!!) sold to a member of the TVRCC from there when I bought the Pork!

Having had both Chim and now the S3 it's interesting to compare them. It's far more difficult to find a good S so am pleased to have found one.

Maybe a get together in the Summer at a watering hole if you guys would like?

You may know (or not?) that the guru for TVR stainless exhaust art is on the island, aka Clive Ford?

I attended the IOW TVRCC inaugural treasure hunt/camping weekend in the Chim and 'twas a great success!



The host landowner had a lovely early TVR although my memory fails as to which model!!!

Also, if you are interested in the life and times of one of the greatest inventors of the 20th century, this is a worthwhile visit, although you will need to book in advance!

I wonder what difference in the chassis numbers? Although only 8 numbers away from being registered with the DVLA it may be somewhat different to production??

Don't want to post my VIN number on an open forum but am happy to pm you?

As we have now progressed to comparing green cars, this is my previous (rare) Oak Green 968 Coupe!! Only 2 years younger than my newly acquired S3c but a world away in build quality. Not something that is easily tinkered with and parts can be eye wateringly expensive so a return to the TVR marque and, in particular, to track down a decent S3/S4 was my preferred choice!

If I had the space I would keep them all as I spend a lot of time finding unmolested originals but that isn't an option, sadly!!

With apologies for posting a Porkie pic!!!
