Newbie owner

[v8sag]

My love hate relationship continues with the marque and have just acquired this 2003 4.5 LW.

I ve overall enjoyed 27 years of on/off Chim and Griff ownership, getting to know every part intimately so feel I'm going back to school with this one.

I ll spend a couple of months digesting the car prior to making any decisions if there are any area s I'd like to improve or enhance. As much as I do like the appearance of the spiders, 12 kilos a piece is hardly lightweight, so will be on the lookout for more suitable wheels. I ve run Ohlin s and 6 kg wheels on one of my Chim 500 s, despite its compromised factory geometry design it became quite a nimble yet planted beast.

Picture taken in the UK by a previous owner, it s been living in NZ for the past 15 years and is still in great condition.

Welcome aboard.

And hello fellow LW owner. But take it with a pinch of salt. Light weight or large windscreen.

Looks stunnng Paul.

You already have the most essential resource at your fingertips - this forum.

You have loads of experience of TVR so no unexpected surprises.

Just whichever AJP comes in her to be apprehensive of.

Change the Oil frequently, use her frequently and ENJOY !
