thinking px the Mac for one its a 97 4.2 v8 ,just wanted to know any one on here who might have one or has owned one & point out any issues with them
TVR's are only a problem for those who expect Honda-type reliability for their cars and are no use with a spanner.
If you've run a kit-car, then a TVR should pose you no more or less troubles - you just have to keep on top of things!

Always seem to me to be, well sort of "nearly" finished, mind you never owned one. If I was in the market for that kind of car I would go for a Lotus, then it's only bits that fall off you have to worry about. Ray
Check for cracks in the manifold close to the flange. Common fault and a costly repair. Each manifold about £350.

why had it been resprayed and retrimmed - accident damage/repairs?
the guy who owns it works @a body shop so i think he just did it to change the colour to what he wanted & the re trim just a bit tatty interior i
think so had that done as well
