Tvr's what's everyone's opinion?

Hey gang

If I sell my zed one day I would like to get a TVR.

well that's the plan. Anyone who got one or any experience they want to share

Big v8 or straight 6 engine would be lovely.

Which one? All very different.

 

 

Well, apart from all being badly made of course!

[blaqkaudio]

A friend of a friend had one in that strange almost 'rainbow; colour....I only saw it once or twice, sorry I don't know the models!

Looked absolutely stunning, rare, had great road presence, V8 sounded amazing

 

however...

 

it was soon gone...all I heard was that it essentially fell apart slowly from frequent use, parts were expensive to replace I think he said.

 

They're nice though lol

Have a look at the recent thread by Commander titled TVR Owners, in this very section of the forum

My old mans had a few TVR's and for me if I could I'd get one it would have to be the Cerbera 4.5 V8.

 

But then I know it would never be as good as the one my old man had back in the day without a lot of resto type work or a big outlay of cash on a mint example in the first place.

T350 for me, but I'd have to spend a fortune getting the six sorted properly. Or drop an LS3 into it.

[aidan]

tamoras are real cheap on pistonheads at mo.....but are they ticking mines just waiting to shred the wallet

[rtbiscuit]

Speed 6 could be had for under 10k a while back.

 

Love tvr's awesome cars

TVR = Telephone Vehicle Recovery - - - - but they sound so sweet.

Yeah Gareth

Would ideally be this as it it's 2+2 coupe

Or tvr350

[Almeida1234]

Can have them for10-12k

That v8 sound epic

 

[Richie94gts]

They look lush but I think the ownership experience would be somewhat different! I keep seeing pictures of the sagaris and it already looks modified. I think I'd like to try and create something along the same lines but as s zed.

[monkeybrain1234]

Would have a Sagaris anyday

 

Or aTuscan S

 

(For the moment happy with the Z, but one day)!

[Stu_2424]

Cerbera for me as well.

 

I'd love to try and recreate the speed 12

My choices came down to TVR or Zed - after extensive research went with the Zed, mainly as pound for pound IMO theres not a car that gets anywhere near it for sheer fun and love of ownership - I struggled to find anyone local that would touch a TVR for servicing and repairs. But they do sound wonderful and still have a craving haha

[RobPhoboS]

As a 2nd car, or just weekend car - brilliant things (well, ok not all models).

Worth being handy with spanners and soldering, also thoroughly researching before buying - ie not here, go to TVR forums

 

I'm sure there are plenty more places to go but these guys have a good reputation for sorting the known issues...
