They look fabulous, go like stink and sound fantastic for the 2 months they last until they break.

I haven't driven one but have been for a ride in a Chimera when i was 13 and i recall absolutely loving it!

I drove one when they still used to sell TVR here. Very nice car for the price you pay, but as LABrit has stated, it does not give the confidence of reliability.

Drove a Tuscan S in the UK years back-- they are the epitome of what a car should be. Fast, loud, crazy, and with absolutely nothing to keep poor drivers from killing themselves.

I'd have one in a heartbeat if I could import one with something less than an act of Congress.

Closest I've been to a TVR is when I played video games, lol

Looks like its the type of car you drive on a wing and a prayer
