Yeah, I know, cr@p English but I was just thinking about the TVR's I've driven or, more to the point, the one's I've yet to drive.
During my research I drove a few to confirm what I was looking for, however, the list of cars I've not driven is far more extensive.
One day I'd like to think I've ticked all the attainable boxes - No. 2 and Speed 12 notwithstanding.
I realise there are some of you who have owned or at least driven everything with the TVR badge on it, but I've not been so fortunate.
Given the opportunity, I'd really like to have a taste of these:
Grantura, All of the Vixens, original Tuscan both body widths, Griffiths 200 & 400, Tasmin and indeed any of the Oliver Winterbottom styles, SEAC, Cerbera and finally Sagaris.
There. that's not a bad set of ambitions.
What about you?

Have driven everything after the S except for the T350, but I've gotta say the classics are what float my boat now.

After seeing the cars at the ally pally yesterday I could be very tempted when I get a garage in a few years time...

That's what I mean. I think there are so many lovely older cars I need to drive, the oldest Tiv I've driven is a 3000M.
Anyone fancy arranging a big old day of car swapping and sharing?
Cor, imagine the insurance for something like that. Hmm, hardly practical, but it would be good.

I think I'd like a go in one too. I remember in the mid 1980s looking at one parked up on my route to my GF's house and thinking I'd probably never be able to afford one. Even now though I love the well integrated front end - the way the driving lights are built into the spoiler, and the whale tail has always seemed the best of 80s excess.
