@@DamoDrives it's not that car. My car is metallic red and a 1995 500hc. Right now my car is away having performance upgrades and a few other small jobs that need doing. It drove well when I got it but I want to be rid of the famous TVR reliability issues. (A few extra BHP's won't hurt).

I recently bought a Tamora and I'm absolutely LOVING it. Its been my dream since I was 8 and 14 years later I managed to finally achieve that dream. Anyone still on the fence, don't believe the stories, they are fantastic as long as you get one that's been looked after... buy from someone who knows their stuff!

Congratulations on the new car , is the dream everything you hoped ? As Miles said on the video buy a cheap poorly maintained TVR (in fact any car tbh) expect problems. For me it was the Tuscan S but not from childhood mind you as I was not massively into cars then. I would like to get some more TVRs onto the channel over the coming year.

Thanks, its everything I'd ever hoped for! The shear drama of a bimble through the countryside is spectacular and the community is brilliant too, easily the most welcoming group of car enthusiasts I've met. The Tuscans are fantastic, I used to read the owners manual in between lectures at uni! You provide the content and I'm all up for watching it! There is fat too little TVR content on here.

​@@DamoDrives if you're buying anything performance oriented you should expect to have to replace or repair something soon after purchasing. Always have couple grand aside for any jobs that need doing.

There is something about the simplicity of the cars, no fancy driving modes, suspension setup, a million buttons , self driving. Just a noisy engine , light weight and great to drive

Miles is such a natural because he truly loves what he does, and he is a passionate classic car owner. I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone watching this channel, he is extremely knowledgeable and understanding of his clients needs, I have the pleasure of calling this man my friend, and I'm so happy this video catches his true personality.

The engine design originated from the early 60s, and after Rover acquired it kept getting refined. TVR obviously threw the biscuits and gravy at it.

Awesome car! It's a shame that TVRs are such a rarity over here in the US, they're really interesting and unique cars. One day I'd love to ride in a Griffith, what a monster!

I am not surprised you do not see many as they did not really make many of them in the uk, 25 years old so you can import 1 😀😎

Even in Europe it's rare to find a good one. Most ended on the junkyard, because of bad driving. Still a good and fast car damn.
