  1. Vic I take it this is a care home based in England ?
  2. 944 turbo. Always wanted one, still think they look great and still pretty fast but expensive to keep the rust at bay now
  3. Thats the big advantage of the TVRs - chassis rust can be sorted for £1000 to £3000 depending how bad and really thats it done, no more worries while with metal bodied cars you are continually chasing. Suppose you could have the bodyshell balsted and dipped but no idea how much that costs ? is your gearbox tunnel ok ? A lot of XK8's go there and can be a pain to sort of not caught early
  4. The speed 6 engines will all need a rebuild at some point but thats now coming with a 3 year warranty - some I know of have done 100,000 plus since a rebuild. The AJPs not so bad reliability wise but not cheap to rebuild if they do go pop The servicing and spares on a cerb are expensive and the chassis will need a refurb at some point but this is somewhat offset with lack of depreciation and with the fibreglass body there is no need to worry about rust as you would with most 15 year old cars. Mate of mine has just spent mearly £3k sorting out the sills in his 944 turbo and now has to get front wings done as well !! If you want a cheaper way into TVR go down the Griffin/Chimaera route, engines pretty reliable cheap to service and look after and deprecation free as well The Griffins especially are rising in value every year

  11. I have no problem with the old lady at all , rember she is British and when she moved to Zimbabwe it was a British colony and people were activley encouraged to move there by the Government. Some of my family also did this in the 50's and returned if I remember right in the 80's after being burnt out of their home One point is that up until the late 60's at least Britain held, controlled and profited from the miming as we had the rights to all the mineral and precious metal resources so the people there were making a large contribution to the UK economy
  12. I do most nights lol still miss the Chimaera at times
