    I've always loved TVRs, but I prefer light weight and less power. My driving skills would be found wanting as I slid backwards into a ditch. I'm a terrible driver!

    My mechanical skills on on par with my washing prowess (cars, not a personal hygiene admission). The old Buick heritage V8s do sound out of this world though, better than the TVR developed / built straight six engines, in my opinion anyway.

    I sat in a VX220 before buying the R53, and would have bought it if I could have seen through the windscreen, instead of over it

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Brilliant thanks, I'll pop along to Murray Lotus in Edinburgh. Thank for the heads up, no pun intended
