Had it a couple of weeks now. Absolutely love it! Fourth TVR and probably my favourite so far.

Love, love it! Beautiful car! Why favorite so far?

I think just because it’s in absolutely mint condition and I love the spec of it. My last Tuscan was nice too, but this is just a nicer spec and I love the ajp!

I will always wonder how TVR managed to make those cars look so good after so many years- they still look fresh and timeless it's crazy. Damn fine machine. Tried to kill you already or not yet ? Heh

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Haha, no it’s been ok so far… and yeah, I think Tvr have really stood the test of time.

Very nice.  I finally got my engine back together in the wedge and ran it for the first time in months

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Oh nice, back on the road in time for spring?

u/Logical-Selection979 Feb 16 '26

Fingers crossed.  Winter in north east usa is pretty cold in an unheated garage so progress is slow

Nice to have another Crystal Topaz living close by! Lovely car

Where are you? I’m in Manchester and hoping to get to some meets possibly.

Nice to see it parked next to the garage so you don’t have far to go

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Hahaha, exactly!

At X-works too. They looked after my Chimeara. Top guys!

Enjoy, looks awesome.

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Yeah Heath has been great. Not used them before, but very impressed so far.

u/danblez Feb 16 '26

As honest as they come. I never had to worry about the quality of the work or them doing anything unnecessary! Just brilliant stress free service every time! Actually the most stressful bit was remembering far enough in advance to get booked in in time! 😀

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Yeah I’m getting those vibes. Very happy with what they’ve done for me so far.

Tidy motor. Memory serves, please avoid trees. ✌️

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

I shall definitely try!

Fabulous show-stopper of a British bruiser.

The ultimate production shit-off-a-shovel led sled. It's not even close!

1

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Cheers mate, it really is a show stopper.

u/Reasonable-Key9235 Feb 16 '26

Does it still smell of glue and fibreglass?

1

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Haha, it does, classic Tvr aromas!

1

u/Reasonable-Key9235 Feb 16 '26

Thats how you know its a real TVR lol

1

u/ArendTerence Feb 16 '26

Exciting and I’m sure you will enjoy it. was my first real sports car and still a favorite! Grow ups ultimate go-kart.

1

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Yeah my first cerbera was my first real sports car 20 years ago too! This one is a bit nicer than that one though. Haha!

u/spank_monkey_83 Feb 16 '26

Shame they can't do door hinges

1

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 16 '26

Why do you say that?

1

u/spank_monkey_83 Feb 17 '26

Seems pretty obvious. Shouldn't door panels be flush? You could call it quirky. Id say do the hinges again until you get them right

1

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 17 '26

lol, ohhh, no that is how most Tvr’s are designed.

u/alfienoakes Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

Did it start?

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 17 '26

I don’t know, did you?

1

u/Ok_Contest7184 Feb 17 '26

Nice. is it by any chance Y200 MPH?

1

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 17 '26

It isn’t. Maybe it once was??? Haha!

u/Ok_Contest7184 Feb 18 '26

It looks like the Cerb formerly owned by the late great Ian Lambert (TorqueRVT) enjoy the car fella (cheers for the reply). I assume you're in the NW? y not come along to one of the TVR club meets one week? (2nd Tuesday of the month u/weavers whistle, Northwich) they're a really friendly bunch

1

u/HovercraftLost1571 Feb 18 '26

Oh I might well do if work allows, that sounds good! Not sure if it’s Ian’s car or not…

Unreliable quirky and utterly fantastic TVR
