Hi everyone!

about a year ago I registered here with the intention of buying an S series and getting some advice, which I did. But one thing led to another and I ended up with a clio 172 which was fun for a while but I can't stop thinking about the TVR! So I'm back again for another crack! I'm in the process of buying my first house so probably wont be able to buy until I'm settled in but I may at least start looking now. One thing I really want to do is see an S in the flesh, not just driving by, and with that Im mind was wondering if there are any owners in or near sheffield who wouldn't mind showing me round there's?
I'll also have to get rid of the clio so if anyone is after a px for a reliable 'hot hatch' then give me a shout!

cheers guys

V6'S are a hoot too, just a different kind of animal. I've had both, and both have their own charms.

All of the S's are good, but my preference would be for an S3. There are some bargains right now. The S3's have the straight dash, (which I prefer) and slightly longer doors if you're a lanky sod.

I'll after a later model v6 really, s3 or s4, I actually prefer the dash in the s1/s2 but from what I've read the later models are an evolution and more'sorted' which is very attractive to me! I can't wait to have a car that actually makes noise and puts a smile on my face!

Hi there, i am in Halifax and have a nice S3 1991H. You are welcome to have a go in it and you can buy it if you like it. I took it off sale as I am going on holiday tomorrow but I am back on the 28th August.

Let me know if you are interested it is in good order and is a great runner BRG with tan interior and nice green carpets. New walnut dash 55000 miles.

Even if you don't buy it you can still have a look over it no probs.
