its not the v8 tvr's that normally go wrong, the rover v8 is a very good engine, its the trim, electrics, and ancillarys that fail on the v8's
very early ones like seac450 and the like often have worn rings nothing that most engines of that age have.

pfff Im getting 17mpg at least lol Seriously depends on the type of driving you do in them, sitting in town traffic is no good but if your moving along then theyre fine and should see anything up to 20mpg 
Get one with an engine rebuild and you'll be fine
