I had mine for 3 years and never had any issues with reliabilty and then sold it for good money to a mate of mines dad who retained it for many more years. I remember from quite a few years ago one of the car mags ran a test of the latest TVR by driving it in Europe,they had to call the TVR technicians out as it broke down in Paris. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxyhog Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 In 1995 I spent a couple of weeks in Damascus and all of the cabs & a lot of the private cars were old stuff from the USA,much like what I believe are in use in Cuba. Wish I'd taken pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the proud owner of a TVR Chimera 500 for 3 years i can agree entirely with their assessment, bloody awesome cars at an affordable price. My Chimera..... My mate is currently restoring a Chim. Bit of a challenge though, but damn, hell of a car. Luckily the chassis is fine, which could have added a few ££ to the final bill.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That poor vehicle has had a hard life, and needs to be in a museum,as daft as it sounds. Great spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had 2 v12 E Types fully restored a few years ago, with complete body off restoration and engine’s Blueprinted etc. Luckily there’s several companies out there, with highly skilled mechanic’s who know these cars inside out and do a fantastic job, but not cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
