TVR Windsor Run

[@mikecoleman4927]

Love the way the front end kicks right up when you give it a squirt. I'll have a TVR one day.

[@woooster17]

This is one of the best things to do in life..out with mates, sunny day, in TVRs. Been without a TVR for a few years but now have a rather special TVR 420 SEAC..fitted with a 5L Griffith engine, 218 cam, carbon ACT plenum, carbon enlarged trumpets etc... Looking forward to doing similar. Nice video.

[@timorgano]

That noise is sexual. LOVE the Rover V8 and they sound SO amazing in the TVRs

[@Ken-mu3dc]

That V8 started life as a Buick before Rover got hold of it. I have a TVR Chimaera 450 which I love and it sounds awesome as do all TVR's. Get one as soon as you can!

[@timorgano]

Seriously cannot stop watching this video. LOVE your cam and mic setup. LOVE your Griff.

[@lincolnengland5005]

I never realised watching another bloke driving a car could make for compulsive viewing! I really need one of these in my life. Head says buy a Porsche 911; heart says get a Chimaera...........1-0 to the heart! Nice vid. and love the exhaust note.

[@charliemoy2995]

I know your comment was a year ago, but having owned a few porsches and currently owning a Chim I have to say if you have the money to maintain it, it's one brilliant car. Sadly mines fucked as the camshaft snapped... oops

[@allanhughes7859]

Just to let you know this Vid made me go looking and as and from today 29/09/2019 I am now the proud owner of a T.V.R............So thanks for that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@timorgano]

Goddammit, Kieran, I cannot stop watching this video >_< I think I've now contributed most of the 14,000 views

[@wilspu5590]

Yaa

[@elite33600]

such a great car... if i had money i'd instabuy one of these. Funny how everyone turn around to watch the convoy :D

[@grjlynch]

Nice video, love the soundtrack, I can see whay you took the radio out! Hope you told the driver in the car in front that one of his break lights is not working.

[@freeclimb64]

i love it - your micro is much more better placed than mine... Windsor..., i like it. Had been at Slough working for HDS. That would have been a nice ride. Congrats!

[@s1914]

Just an awesome exit from the pub :-)

[@phillip6356]

one of the few videos i enjoyed watching, more please

[@SmartyKD]

Sorry for late response Matt, wasn't getting any notifications from KZbin for some reason! I'm using an external mic running down the boot stuck by the number plate.. very pleased with it! However, because you can only hear my car you can't hear the others, plus the noise in the tunnels... oh well, can't have it all!

[@landl190372]

Sold mine over 20 years ago, and still miss it. Most unreliable and most enjoyable car I've ever owned.

[@clivebrackstone5356]

and i thought the GT 390 MUSTANG IN BULLIET SOUNDED LIKE HEAVEN? HOW WRONG WAS I ? WHAT A NOISE? SOUND OF THE GODS SURELY X

[@SmartyKD]

Thanks. Yes sorry should have said that in the vid! Mine is a TVR Griffith 500, other two are Chimaeras, we were joined briefly by a T350.

[@steverabbits]

That answers the questions I had, thanks! I'm getting my first TVR this year!

[@GDoodler]

A snarling beast. Pennies are saved....I'm just waiting for the right Chim to come along....I feel like a kid again.

[@antonistoni6820]

Mark Graham i feel the same :) its very powerful love with chimaera..

[@craigdixon7416]

Always wanted to have a go in griff or chimera now I have to and I've driven a 12c a conti gt speed and 2wd gallardo none of the them really enamerd me this video is so good the motor sounds. This is what a muscle car should sound and go like.

[@keepmovingjumping]

Awesome video! that's something else baby!!!

[@emperorgrant]

Did your exhaust set that car alarm off? If so, that's the best thing ever.

[@SmartyKD]

@Nigel Warnes... from 1.20 the mic is run to the back of the car, I just forgot to do it when I left the car park.

[@timorgano]

That's an awesome set up. All the noise, a great view, and none of the wind

[@blademanx]

Good old Windsor!!

[@kevinworm3548]

Great video for all us paupers who can't afford a TVR next best thing lol

[@lewisduncombe6616]

This video is addictive! May i ask where you mount your camera on your Griff? You should post more like this!

[@NYJALB]

Surely you need to make that journey via a detour along Drift Road next time lads...nudge nudge wink wink say no more!!...8-)

[@MatthewPoxon]

Nice video. The TVRs certainly turned quite a few heads! The underpass looked fun. What mic setup are you using. Sounds too good to be internal mic.

[@drmichaelalatsaris1231]

Love the weight saving efforts of removing your radio!

[@PeowPeowPeowLasers]

I miss my Chimaera :(

[@patrik7353]

Thanks for a nice video. Good to know about the mic setup. What model are you driving? I can see you have two Chimaeras in fron of you, but is yours a Griffith?

[@frankguerrie]

England is never this sunny. Are you sure we live in the same country?

[@SmartyKD]

Haha, old one bust, only just got the new one fitted! :)

[@guitariste47]

Sounds like my vintage marshall amp !

[@kyestone8023]

Griff 500 sounds awesome just cruising along , ive got one and a cerb 4.5 but i don't look as nervous as this guy driving like a prat when pedestrians are so close. cringeworthy viewing tbh.

[@joey19844]

amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@allanhughes7859]

This Sounds a little like my Fiat Panda when i give it some clogg but probably not as quick as the Panda L.O.L............

[@jc07788]

Do you still have the car?

[@SmartyKD]

Sadly not, sold it a while back. It's back up for sale again now though I believe.

[@jc07788]

@ looking at buying one very soon. Would you recommend a specific engine? (4.0/4.5/5.0) In general how was the reliability/servicing costs? Are parts still fairly easy to obtain? Cheers

[@SmartyKD]

@@jc07788 Personally only experienced the 5.0 in the Griffith, but early "big valve" 4.3 and 4.5s have a very good rep, but are only on early cars. They are pretty cheap to run for what they are, do not require much specialist knowledge and mechanically simple. I'm out of the loop a bit now and I imagine some parts might be getting a little scarce. Chassis rust is your enemy, but again its not an expensive thing to rectify or keep on top of. I'd go for a late 97+ 500 with power steering. But otherwise go on condition and history, and what colour combo you like best.... they are all awesome. Good luck!

[@jc07788]

@ cheers mate

[@allanhughes7859]

Just to add the two thumbs down "DON'T get it or Don't want to get it or can't get it" Either way must be two SAD SAD DOODE'S !!!!!!!!!

[@nicholasvaughan7080]

They drive a Prius 😂

[@v8griff]

What's the exhaust set up matey? Sleeved?

[@SmartyKD]

Hi, standard 500 with just a bit of wadding removed. Still has cats in.

[@york_student_property8248]

Oh dear what a chopper.

[@SmartyKD]

Eh?

[@lewbear6738]

nice

[@lapajoe]

Someone stole your stereo?

[@bibikampstra3187]

broken radio, usual tvr bullshit, nice ride luv it!!

[@5teve309]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@ScottyJ1122]

Blackpool roar.

[@EVPuzzle]

Sounds a little poor. Run a mic to the back of the car and tape it there, the sounds the best bit

[@clivebrackstone1896]

Bet the yanks are so jealous....

[@FatGuyWithAKatana]

with a noise like that i wouldn't be bothered about not having a radio.
