Gutmann pug

I loved this old girl. Had her 7 years and she NEVER let me down once.

I sooooooooooo wish she was still in my garage especially on cold sunny mornings like today.


Note the custom made exhaust with exposed silencer. It gave a lovely sound and stopped me from bottoming out on every bump, soemthing the original was notorious for.....not the best looking for sure but functional

Any excuse to post a pic

Thanks for the advice you gave me (and the copies of Sprint) last year when we were looking for our TVR.

Thats right Paul its an S3 ....the last of the V6's and the forerunner to the griffith and Chimp. It really was a superb car car in pretty much everyway. One day I will own another TVR for sure.

Great looking car DnB ....... looks like a 5ltr to me? I always had a soft spot for the 4.3BV (pre-cat)......I had some more Spring mags i found and sold them on e-bay. Made a mint out of them.

It is indeed a 5 litre. With PAS too - for all the difference it makes

The 4.3BVs are nice and I've always liked them too , but Nic thought them too loud for every day use.

Don't leave getting the TVR too long!

Who put that awful security fence on the drive of the stately home?

Gutmann pug

Is there such a thing as a TVR which is tooooooooo loud? You could always find a friendly MOT station and de-cat yours

I did consider a T350 a while back but walked away in the end.

The great thing about tivvys is you dont have to drive them fast to have the grin on your face. Just pulling out of the garage out home used to give me a hard-on let alone anything else.


The stately home is Tedworth House which is an army garrison officers quarter, so i think the fence is pretty prudent.
