Absolutely awesome!  :thumbup: Still want one! :jaw: Always been put off by potential running costs though! Did that level of maintenance keep it reliable then? I've heard the engines are pretty highly strung! Gorgeous car, at least you can say you've been there and done that now!

Bernd:
Very nice looking car Ian. We don't get to see those kind over here. More Japanese cars then British.

Closest I got to a British car is when my ex-wife bought an MGB. Rolled a week after our wedding. It's a wonder she didn't lose her head in the roll over. Looked at the TR7's back then to.

Still that's one very nice looking car.  :thumbup:  Thanks for posting some pics.

 :bugeye: still, as Nick said, you've been there and done that ................. nice wheels mind  :bow:

And .............. very nice mini vice, that's some tolerance with hand tools, how long did it take to complete  :scratch:

PeeWee:
Crewcab, the full course was 6 months and included drawing, lathe, hand work etc.  the vice had a 2 weeks of this fairly early into the course, though if memory serves correctly a couple of the corners dip slightly.

Nick, yes the engines are highly strung and as an owner its virtually impossible to get into the engine compartment.  It took a TVR garage an hour just to change a side light.  http://www.tvrpower.co.uk/ do a 3 year unlimited warranty on the engines.  I would not go anywhere else.

NickG:
Ian,

that sounds like a good deal and pretty much essential if you want to run one of these beasts!

So have you got any projects lined up.  :proj: is very contageous!

Nick
