If only I had more parking space ......
« on: 03 May 2012, 20:47:40 »
Looks beautiful, bet it goes like stink, and just the thing to park at work, next to all the BMW's, Audi's, Golf's etc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-2792CC-REG-TAZ-6220-/120903203760?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c26647bb0

Anyone like to guess how much it will go for ?.

Anyone know of a garage to rent around Dewsbury ?  ;D

I think its butt looks very sexy  :y.

Clean lines, the twin pipes ( real  :y ) give it a well balanced look. The front end is a bit straight line'ish, but compared to some of the recent efforts by....... it looks OK. It was designed back in the 80's, when we were into flares, etc.  ;D

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Hmm. If buying one of those it'd be rude not to get the V8 one. That Ford engine is a bit asthmatic.

.. and they do harbour lots of potential snags, whilst looking Ok superficially, as a mate of mine found out.

The problem with TVRs is that they are all basically kit cars. Nothing wrong with that, if they are owned by the sort of enthusiasts who normally run kit cars. Sadly, most haven't been. They've been driven for years without a thought to what's going on under the GRP bodywork that keeps its' looks pretty well. Expect to be taking the body off and replacing rusty sections of the chassis at some point. ::)
