Can you get one worth having for £8k or less? I’d love a Trevor.
That one in the add is £8,750. A keen nutbuster could get it for 8K I suspect.
Did you ever have the ‘pleasure’ of a ride in Boots’s Griffith 500? It was a monster.
Not that one but I’ve driven a 4.3 Griffith and a 5.0 Chimera in the past. Once you realise it’s more about the sensation of speed than actual speed- particularly where corners are involved- they’re good fun.
The Cerbera on the other hand was a terrifying bastard of a car.
TVRs are basically posh Reliant Robins (I.e. the correct number of wheels)
And with a V8. looks more like 10-12k to get a decent one and they need garaging so bah. My Trevor dreams are dashed.
Couldn’t you keep it in the boot of the Lexus?
TVR’s are best when they’re some-one else’s problem that you get to drive occasionally (before it ends up under tarpaulin in the front garden).
A host of fun things here https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Kit-Cars/183487/bn_2316280
Haha, we’ve all seen one parked up like that.
No one would know
or for a bit of style
Oh christ, that’s just caused some seepage…
does that double up as a lawn mower
The key question for any middle aged man purchasing a sports car should be: what involuntary sounds do you make getting in and out?
A man of certain age needs to retain his dignity at all times. This classic convertible should enable silent ingress and egress:
5.0 Chimera = lots of fun and of course a wet arse 50 weeks a year
Cerbera = horrible, horrible, horrible
Why?
Years ago when it was new, I was helping with a Christmas Charity collection by the toll booths on the Itchen Bridge in Southampton.
A chap pulled up in a new Cerbera, saw me checking it out and obviously decided to show off. The howling snarl it made as it disappeared very rapidly into the distance gave me a damn sight more than a bit of seepage, I can assure you.
If my heart didn’t belong to Marcos, I’d have a Cerbera like a shot.
Not the scratch of polyester golf clothing, so I am out.
