TVR as a daily

[kevbev]

Hi folk,

I am looking to change cars and have a random thought and I am now trying to do the pro's and con's for using a tvr as a daily driver. I'm on a rough budget of £15000 which seems to through up a fair few options. I don't have a big daily commute 8mile round trip and doing 12,000miles a year.

So what are people's thoughts on this, is it do-able and what sort of model should I be looking at? And what are the major issues of them?

Thanks in advance,
Kev

Thanks folk for all the replies, I'm liking the amount of positive replies. I'm the same as a few folk here, in that if you've got it use it.

My current weekend toy is a Westfield and I won't be getting rid of that either.

Yes it's only an 8mile round trip but am still doing approx 200miles week. Fuel isn't to much of an issue, currently daily gets about 18 round town. Could anybody body tell me if tvr's have a decent sized tank?

The work car park is not bad, it is a factory carpark and usual not bad for a space with nobody about. I did know that they were fibreglass. I guessing that they are built from, fibreglass, gelcoat, primer and paint?

Servicing, I am not shy to using the old spanners, so would probably do the 6k service myself and have 12k done by the garage to have the valve spacing done. How easy is it to get spares and part?

Thanks again,
Kev
