Advice needed

Can anyone please tell me, Is it normal for the 4.5 engine on the 2002 models to be noisey on tickover when cold? my car has now done 1400 miles and i am concerned about the noise it makes, Please remember this is the first TVR i have owned or V8 for that matter, when the car is warm its as quite as a mouse
