can we keep this thread running ! with all the doom and gloom its great to hear of some positive news of 35,000 to 40,000 miles +
it would be good to know how you treat and drive your tvr's ?
also any special servicing tips oil change etc
keep the good news coming
I said mine has had rebuilds at 35k and 70k. I bought her at 70k and so that was my first spends on her.it would be good to know how you treat and drive your tvr's ?
also any special servicing tips oil change etc
keep the good news coming
But when you consider that all her 70k had been as an exotic rental car, you can imagine they were hard miles.

The S6 engines reputation has been well and truly soiled by the well publicised failures of a number of (especially early) engines. However in contrast there are an awful lot of perfectly healthy engines out there racking up the miles with no problems. Unfortunately nobody gets to hear about these engines and this topic must be one of the 1st i have read on the net that is genuinely positive and at the moment has not been spoilt by someone of little knowledge (usually who has never even been near an S6 engined car) s
gging the motor off. I hope that it gives confidence to people out there who have been thinking about investing but held back due to the bad publicity....all i can say is ignore the rubbish and if you are tempted then buy one.....there is not much under 100k that gives anything like the same driving experience. The S6 is an absolute gem of a british designed british built proper british sportscar engine...slightly flawed at the start no doubt....but what a power delivery and what a noise.....in time it will be appreciated for the absolute classic it genuinely is.

I'm form Slovenia and I always wanted to own a TVR Tuscan. After reading all the stuff in the PH forum I got worried. Especially if you consider that there are now 2 TVR's in Slovenia (one Griffith and my Tuscan) - that means no experienced workshop. But after thinking it over I said to myself if you have b******s then buy yourself a real car, otherwise get yourself a Nissan Z350, Audi TT or Porsche. As you have read above I've made a right decision and that means 1 TVR less in UK - Sorry guys.

Nice one krisles. Your English is better than mine. How long have you had your Tuscan ?Can you get any support in Austria or Italy ?
Well I'm extremely new to the TVR owners club. It's about the same as my PH status - 2 months. Thank you on your kind compliment. But I'm confident that your english is way better then mine. Living in a small country like Slovenia is a big advantage for learning a foreign language, because nobody speaks yours. So I ended up speaking five of them. I can't change the world but I can for sure change myself.
