On the Used Car Roadshow on Men & Motors.

The program was shot at Knebworth and they featured a really clean looking red S1 for sale for £5k and the presenter made the TVR S his top tip for free motoring!

A car that you can buy use for a year or two and not lose money on when you sell it on.

Nice to see an S featured on TV

Cracking looking S1 too!

TiVo tells me that this episode is repeated on M&M today at 3pm and Saturday 11th at 11am.

Set it to record - the wonders of being able to schedule recordings over the web

Met the chap on Saturday who bought the car, it's a very nice example.

He hadn't heard of PH until Saturday so we should hear from him soon.

Ok, for those without access to Men and Motors, here's a recording of the S feature for you

TiVo -> MPEG2 -> XVid

Used Car Roadshow - S Feature XVID
22Mb (Approx)

Use VLC if you have problems playing it.

What software did you use. I've used TyTools to rip from my TIVO before but the files it created were always massive.

Excellent clip - thanks for posting it.
Made me all nostalgic for my old red S2!

Used TiVoTool to bring the MPEG (or Divx) straight from TiVo to the Mac, then FFMpegX to convert to smaller size.
