I bet at some point you'd take it for granted and it'd bite you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I can see a book being run for how long it takes for you to land that thing in a hedge.Nice colour though but prepare to be the most hated person on the road and embarrased to be driving it at times.

andyp Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 mind you everybody looks at him in his smart...so what difference would it make??? tvrs are very nice even in this colour....just wish they had little more driving aids on them...

Crusoe Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 wouldn't buy that one (though i quite like the tango orange and black wheels) but maybe at some stage in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naps Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I Had a TVR..dreadful in everyway apart from looks! .. power, though the car can't handle the power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 what type did you have naps? think the new ones are quite a bit better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naps Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Well, Actually it was a Griffith Roadster!It was so unreliable and demanding when it worked..I'd never buy a supercar again!I had a Porsche 944 turbo too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 did look at a grif 500 a while back, quite reasonable to insure and the rover v8 should be easy enough to work on you'd think. Lots of overheating problems i hear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Should be easy enough to work on you'd think. Lots of overheating problems i hear though. Not the case unfortunatly.My boss used to run a workshop, whos supervisor had a TVR Griffin.The Timing chain had a sproket tensioner that had a oil pipe from the block, into the timing casing through this sproket.The seal always leaks, so pissed all over the engine.They removed the radiator and changed this sproket.Couple of days later it started to leak again.They ordered another sproket from Blackpool, and did the repair again.This time the repair held out, but less than a week later he wrote the car off! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naps Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 When I had Mine I was given a 6mth Warranty, After Returning 12 times within 3 mths the chap made a remarkable statement.."This isn't car to use everyday".."oh" I replied.."Had you used it twice a month you would have only come back a couple of times" sums it up My father had a Ferrari 412 and had every problem one hears about Ferraris, wonderful car, needing limitless wallet!

andyp Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Puffter. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> you give the tvr driving aids and will make it such a better car......and improve build quality then much better and safer(use that word loosly) to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMon Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Ah yes, forget about the everyday bit. Beautiful cars, but they're a bit fragile aren't they? I bet you'd be in love with it at first then thoroughly pissed off as it broke down for the nth time. I reckon if you could afford one as a weekend car that'd be the ideal situation.
