Default P1 goes tomorrow ...

... will be missed, hadn't exactly planned to change (just added Whiteline kit etc.) but I'm looking forward to collecting the keys to its replacement ...







14,000 miles, '03, air-con, full years renewable warranty (including wear and tear upgrade), immacualte throughout (armourfend etc.)

Bradders

PS. Before anyone says.... yes, I do live near(ish) my local dealer.

PPS. The 'trade-in'...

Stunning upgrade mate.
Is it going to be an 'everyday' car?
Not knocking you if it is, will be nice to see how you get on with it.

The car is for weekend use (and occasional commute) but interestingly those people 'in the know' actually recommend using it regularly, not just for avoiding a flat battery but general well-being.

Very nice...............if a little brave with the way TVR is at the moment,but you are right,most people reckon that the best thing you can do is use them every day,and that a lot of the mechanical problems you hear about are only because owners do not let them warm through totally before "extending" them.

Well done .

Awesome looking car fella, as is the TVR

How did you get a warranty though? I thought that TVR had shut up shop in the UK ie gone bust in all but the name.

TX.

PS

I'm note sure which model that TVR is (sorry) however one of those goes past me almost everyday & it sounds fantastic!!

Very nice. Keep us all posted on how you get on with it. I took a back to back test drive in a T350c then a Tuscan last year, awesome experience best total driving experience I've had.
Disgraceful what happened to TVR in my view, a company that had the ***** to create and build something different to most of the bland cr@p thats on the British roads today.

Enjoy it and yes I am jealous .

Wolfie.

Very nice indeed. The T350 is the best looking TVR they made IMHO.

Hope you can get spare parts when things will start going wrong though. Engines are said to be more reliable on the later cars but even so, I'd be weary about getting one now that TVR have effectively gone bust (now in American hands)

Good luck with your new purchase though. Hope it keeps reliable for you.

So jealous... who cares about reliability... if we all had that as number 1 priority we would be driving some TDi that is good for 200k... TVR is my dream marque...
