Being an absolute petrolhead, proudly British and a huge admirer of both TVR's products and ethos - I visited the Motorshow on it's last day and put down a deposit on a T350c (apparently 71st order) just before the books closed for the introductory price with the caveats that I wanted to drive the car before finalising my order and that the deposit would be refunded if I didn't want to go through with the purchase.

However I'm very concerned over the suitability / reliability of the car, I fully understand that being a hand built bespoke sports car I can expect it to need more care and attention than a mass produced item. I need this to be an everyday car and I am expecting to cover at least 30K miles per year for probably 2 or 3 years - if it leaves me stranded frequently (or even infrequently) then its going to cost me a lot of money through lost business.

Thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated - is there anyone out there doing this kind of mileage with a Speed 6 / Tamora or Tuscan chassis and running gear car? I really don't want another German car!
