how much has it cost to run your tvr this year.

[spice]

my griff 500 has cost me £3.10 per mile to run this year,mainly due to a £4k engine rebuild,and lower milage than usual as the car has been off the road,i am now enjoying limited revs (4k)for the next 1000 miles to run in, well boring and over winter hope i do better next year.

You sound in the same boat as me. Ive had my S3 about 3 months, and mines in bits. It all started with an oil pump.....

I can beat that.
My Wedge has been undergoing a nut and bolt rebuild and I haven't even sat in it for over a year !
As for cost - the rebuild plus uprated suspension and brakes, plus new hood, rollbar, veneer, carpets. Ouch.
Tell you what though - I'm going to have some fun next year.

It'll take a job to get you out of it next year good luck with it.

What are you doing to it

I'd be interested to know how you guys treat your cars. I've being commuting 12000 miles per year for 6 years in S2 and S3. Total costs under £1000 per year including one main dealer service (~£500), with the other £500 PA going on things like tyres, radiators, clutch master cylinders etc. These cars are mechanically reliable if used regularly and treated with respect (Electrics less so but cheap, if annoying, to fix). I don't regard this level of spend as expensive, given the rewards of owning the car.

tvrMark. In reply to your question, im doing a nut, bolt, and washer rebuild, along with a re-spray and some upgrades to general niggles.
