Dedicated to race, obviously. 









A lovely character, isn't it?

…if they fix the steering wheel location : )

Why do you want a steering wheel on the left, when on the right it participates to its charm?

Just kidding....

...I have driven manual in Ireland, it just takes a lot more concentration : )

I have driven my car in GB, it was really something... ;) The first roundabout just after leaving the ferry was funny. ;)

I spent most of my time making sure to keep to the left...

...on narrow country roads with no lines : )

Thanks for those great pics! Nice power for a little over a ton of weight.

Yes, it must be a rocket to drive.

A lot of power for that little beast! I can't imagine the noise level inside! I love these old TVRs, what a great era! Best, E.

The noise is the way to enjoy them. Rather than this boring electric zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... ;)

No Kidding! No matter how fast silent and heavy will never interest me!

Bravo! ;)

Ah, TVR. British small car making at its best and worst. A proper, powerful 'sports' car, made in Blackpool - by the sea - so its tubular sub-frame could start to rust early.

Yes, that's what I read many times. The best and the worst, especially in terms of reliability.
