Ekona Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Which one? All very different. Well, apart from all being badly made of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaqkaudio Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 A friend of a friend had one in that strange almost 'rainbow; colour....I only saw it once or twice, sorry I don't know the models! Looked absolutely stunning, rare, had great road presence, V8 sounded amazing however... it was soon gone...all I heard was that it essentially fell apart slowly from frequent use, parts were expensive to replace I think he said. They're nice though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bockaaarck Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Have a look at the recent thread by Commander titled TVR Owners, in this very section of the forum Edited May 2, 2014 by Bockaaarck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 My old mans had a few TVR's and for me if I could I'd get one it would have to be the Cerbera 4.5 V8. But then I know it would never be as good as the one my old man had back in the day without a lot of resto type work or a big outlay of cash on a mint example in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 T350 for me, but I'd have to spend a fortune getting the six sorted properly. Or drop an LS3 into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almeida1234 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Can have them for10-12k That v8 sound epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie94gts Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 They look lush but I think the ownership experience would be somewhat different! I keep seeing pictures of the sagaris and it already looks modified. I think I'd like to try and create something along the same lines but as s zed.

monkeybrain1234 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Would have a Sagaris anyday Or aTuscan S (For the moment happy with the Z, but one day)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_2424 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Cerbera for me as well. I'd love to try and recreate the speed 12 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 My choices came down to TVR or Zed - after extensive research went with the Zed, mainly as pound for pound IMO theres not a car that gets anywhere near it for sheer fun and love of ownership - I struggled to find anyone local that would touch a TVR for servicing and repairs. But they do sound wonderful and still have a craving haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 As a 2nd car, or just weekend car - brilliant things (well, ok not all models). Worth being handy with spanners and soldering, also thoroughly researching before buying - ie not here, go to TVR forums I'm sure there are plenty more places to go but these guys have a good reputation for sorting the known issues... http://www.powersperformance.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
