            Keep it under cover is my advice, most leak like a sieve.

            You'll have good fun for sure.

                Here's a few quick snaps. So much fun to drive, just the noise itself puts a massive grin on your face. Completely different animal to the s2!

                      love it, made a roadtrip in the pyrenees few years ago with a 4.0 HC , still one of the most funny car to drive, but a bit dangerous on wet...

                      would be a good collector idea..

                      hell of a car

                            I'm a big fan of Wheeler era TVRs, I bought a Cerbera 4.5 as soon as I could afford one. I accept there are many valid criticisms of TVRs, but for their performance and driving enjoyment, they seem very undervalued to me. I've always been a little scared of mine, in a good way though, it keeps you alert while driving! My most frightening experience was driving along a dual carriageway at about 70mph and suddenly going sideways across both lanes, just a change in the road surface had caused the rear wheels to lose traction and almost put me into a spin, I only saved it because of the quick steering. There aren't many car which give you that kind of driving experience. Mine is unfortunately in need of some chassis repairs now due to rusty outriggers, it's a very common issue, I just need to get one or two other projects out of the way so I have space to do the body lift and repair it properly. I hope you have lots of fun with yours, I've never actually driven a Chim so I don't know how they compare, but I've always been more of a fan of coupes and the AJP8 was a big attraction too.

                              I couldn't decide between the Cerb and Chim, so I ended up getting the first one in good condition and I could afford, so I ended up with a Chim!
