It was extremely reliable. It completed 13,000 miles in about 10 months. The only recurring problem I had was a £6 fuel pump relay.

I'd never owned a car before that caused people to stop me in petrol stations and ask questions about it How many of them were over ten?. Or a car that caused other drivers to wind their windows down to listen to the engine note as I passed them..

If you don't like TVRs thats fine, just don't try and perpetuate myths surrounding their reliability.

Nowhere in my posts have I made any comment positive or negative regarding the reliability of TVRs.

I see you appear to have kept it just ten months. Was that because it kept breaking down due to the repeated electrical failure?

I notice you don't say whether it was reliable or not:rolleyes:

I think we can beg to differ on the correct interpretation of that.

I kept it for just ten months because I change my cars regularly, and because as a main car it was expensive to run. I will be buying another one just as soon as I'm able, as a second car - which in the long run will be a cheaper option for me.

If I had a regular job involving a commute, a TVR would be the first car on my list without a doubt, but considering I regularly have jobs where I drive 500-600 miles in a day I'd rather use a nice wallowy Mercedes.

I have never sat in a TVR, nor would I want to (in case someone saw me)

why not... all that lovely leather... comfy seats... and that V8 burble.
(i notice off all those i know who had TVRs - the ones that had the most trouble was those who treated their cars as garage queens - only taking them out on dry summer days.)

to the OP. We bought a Saab from an independant garage on HP, which shut up shop about 2 months after we bought it. about 6 months later the gear box packed up. the workshop that changed the gearbox for us said it was due to the oil level plug not being fitted at the last service. Since we had not serviced the car since buying it (it was serviced before purchase) then we had the help of Trading Standards (and Citizens Advice) who gave us standard letters to pursue the finance company (as they are jointly liable apparently... and since the seller was out of business) it took a couple of letters, but we recieved a letter from the Finance Company to say they accept our claim and have refunded the cost of repaire.
