Of course it will. On every road you drive on there is at least one piece of a TVR that has disintigrated. Quite where all the ones for sale on Pistonheads have sprung from is beyond me, I thought they'd all fallen apart by now.

Look OK from the front ....... so long as you never look at the side or back of it.

There are loads in Scotland mate. Whenever I go out for a spin, I usually see at least two or three. Most often Griffs or Chims.

Certainly see more Tivs than S2ks or Elises/Exiges and only a little fewer than 911s. Don't ANY Boxsters for some reason.

I was just pointing out that TVR's are not the most reliable cars in the world. If I said to you here's a Chimaera take it to Southern Spain for 2 weeks then drive back. What are the chances of you making it without any probs?
Depends on the model, year and the behaviour of the previous owner. The "TVRs fall apart" myth isn't quite as accurate as it used to be.

PS - the GTR linked earlier has been totally spoiled by that POS spoiler on the bac. WTF is that all about? Why would anyone think that makes a GTR look better???
