Importing a TVR to the USA: Meeting another TVR Owner in AZ

[@sarahdell4042]

I love seeing younger generations stoked on odd ball cars!

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

They have so much more character and so much fun

[@chrisdado]

Ex Chimaera owner here. Please keep in mind they are unforgiving cars. Have fun, never push it to it's limits.

Cerbera's are awesome cars. The guys reaction when he fired it up was exactly what I was expecting. I have one or two tails of TVR's in the US. Was attending a meeting in Phoenix once and the sponsors took us all out to dinner. They insisted that we all split up and sat with people we were unfamiliar with so to make new connections. I sat at a table for four and the guy opposite, who was from Colorado, said to brake the ice, "So I've got a TVR at home, do any of you know what that is?" It was great evening. Congrats on your Cerbera, I really miss mine. I've had my 2006 Tuscan Convertible 13 years now and so still smiling.

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

That's a fun story! Do you recall what he had? I image that there are more tasmins in the USA than other models.

[@azrockpunk]

His start up reaction 😂

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

Yeah, 😀 I wish I recorded his reactions when I took him for a spin

[@andrewharrison7027]

There is a lot of TVr in the UK still

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

Oh I know, but the 'right one' or examples that aren't rusted chassis take time to find

[@Byffit]

It's recommended to not even look at the silver key, never mind use it. They can be rather delicate so just use the remote fob and immobiliser. Glad you're enjoying Cerbera ownership, you bought a lovely example, even though I'm gutted you didn't buy mine lol.

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

I don't have the 'usb' immobilizer, just the fob and silver key =/

[@Byffit]

@@AaronsEccentricGarage you should have about 30secs to put the ignition on when you unlock the car, even without the "usb" part. There's been times I've been too lazy to reach over and just locked and unlocked the car again to get the ignition back on lol.

[@Diphito]

I've got a Griffith 500 in France since 1 year and half. I love the car, the sound and the first page of the owner manual XD

[@tvrduude]

NICE! Great to see another 3000S on video! Sam looks to be about how old I was when I got mine. I've had mine for 25+ years and took it to 2nd in class at SCCA Solo2 Nationals in 1998. (Vids of it on my channel). Someday would love to visit.. or if you are in San Diego area. Cheers, love seeing so much TVR content in the USA.... and not from me!!! Hahaha

[@arkhsm]

He knows his TreVoR's, and his 3000s is SWEET !!

[@topp0009]

Love they all lovee there cars n English tvrs both beasts

[@Suprahampton]

Should've taken the Cerb out so they could really see that colour

[@garethsworkshop]

I think he did thats what the lads reactions were from.

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

Oh I did! I took him for a solid rip around the block, but didn't record it until afterwards. Hindsight, I should have gotten my gopro mount but oh well.

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

@@garethsworkshop yup! It was

[@Suprahampton]

@@AaronsEccentricGarage Good man!

[@peterharper420]

Good show Aron I enjoyed this video also today is my 24th birthday 😁

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

Thank you so much for the compliment and happy birthday!

[@andrewharrison7027]

The last TVr they made what’s the best?

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

Some would argue that the T350 and the Sagaris were the best.

[@LawrenceTimme]

Damn did you take him for a ride?

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

I did! I just didn't have my mounting equipment at the time

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@AaronsEccentricGarage good! He must have enjoyed that

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

Tons of smiles per gallon

[@arkhsm]

@@AaronsEccentricGarage Did he take you for a ride in the 3000M/S; they were TVR's mainstay model throughout the 70s !!

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

@arkhsm sadly, no... but I'll need to try it next time 😀

[@davehackett8848]

Look up bring a trailer, i've seen a few on there in the us.

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

Yup.. like mine! I just sold it

[@graemehumphreys68]

Who bounced the bonnet on the road like that!!!! I am almost crying watching someone else damage the underside of the bonnet.😢😢😢

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

On which car???

[@graemehumphreys68]

White shorts, white hat on video. Slams the underside of the bonnet on the deck so hard it bounces back and slams a second time. 3000 s

[@AaronsEccentricGarage]

@@graemehumphreys68 I'll have to go watch that part!
