TVR is the most reliable classic car ever!

Very interesting, thank you.

[@dtperformancecars]

You’re welcome ! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

You do need to know your way around cars to keep them fettled and on the road. I’ve owned both a Chimaera and currently a Tuscan and so long as you keep on top of things then yes they will give you plenty of enjoyment. Don’t get me wrong they can be frustrating to own too with their foibles but when they’re sorted they’re magic to drive!

Exactly this 🙏🏻❤️

My Chimaera has been super reliable. Everything bad has already been replaced….just a new cam in over 10 years

[@joelsmith9311]

Ah I love these. Gotta own one at some point, but living in Australia they’re pretty rare.

As an American, I find these cars fascinating: How are maintenance costs compared to air-cooled 911s?

[@dtperformancecars]

Well hi from across the pond ! These, on the whole, I’d say are slightly more reliable due to being more modern. But the parts are significantly cheaper , and 90% of the engine parts are Buick as that’s how the rover v8 started ! We have exported quite a lot to the US now

The only time my Griff 500 let me down was from my driver abuse. I snapped two drive shafts and the diff started grumbling. They never make 340 bhp though from the factory.

Tvr's wasn't reliable when they were new. How come they reliable now?

[@dtperformancecars]

Some weren’t , some were. BUT having been on the roads for 20+ years, most of the cars have had the niggles sorted and engineered with better tech. As such , better than when first made. Worth watching the whole video, I assume you didn’t buddy?

😎😎😎🌶🌶🌶👍👍👍

If they were so reliable there would be more available and seen on the road. The windows, like on Lotus, need lubricating or some idiot will burn out the motor. The early TVR's (Vixen etc) were nice although the chassis were a problem with this generation of cars. If you have some basic engineering knowledge, I prefer an early Lotus that did not need a huge engine.

[@dtperformancecars]

This is an interesting one. But not that many were made , and there is a good amount left. People just don’t want to spend the money on the chassis work, that’s what ruins them. If you’re buying an older ‘modern’ classic , they are super value in purchase and ownership in my opinion ☺️👍

'Not new enough to be nice' is a silly phrase from a supposedly car guy.

We’d strongly encourage you to turn up that hearing aid and watch again my friend ! ⌨️🥷
