Not great...
6k service is £350
12k servier is £650
BUT, add another £200 ish to those of misc parts and fixes...
Engines have to be cared for to avoid a rebuild (mine has had one already but it's still got 24month warranty on the rebuild). Proper procedures keep them in good condition though (bellow 2k revs until oil temp hits 40, below 3k revs until it hit's 60, then you can open it up).

Followed this thing at the weekend - I've never heard anything like it in my life, absolutely bleedin' gorgeous. What's the power stats for these puppies?
The last one didn't pop, they come originally with a 3.6 this one was upgraded to the 4.0 by the previous owner (at a cost of £9k)
The original 3.6 is 350 bhp (that's where the name came from), no idea what the 4.0 puts out. from all accounts it's not a great deal more but the torque is up a lot in the 4.0

Was out in one of these the other week. Absolutley love it. Wouldn't want to own one though.
Another chap drove up to Newcastle (from Middlesbrough), broke down (immobiliser), missed the convoy and then went home again.

Very nice mate, always fancied a TVR but the build quality has always put me off in the past but they are a bit special, one day maybe when I've got past the crazy turbo powered Japanese 4wd track toys lol

Fantastic car! Love it. Is this now your daily drive, or a toy?
Looking forward to hearing your tales of ownership in the months to come

this would be my permanent fear of owning a TVR.
It breaking down on you all the time.

Congrats I hope you enjoy, although a word of caution, my sisters friend had/has a T350 and the last time I spoke to him he said he had only seen it for 2 months in a year at the time 
Labour of love - not sure I could do it!

It's a second car, definatly wouldn't use it as a daily drive, I bought a cheap focus at the same time for that. Reliability is always a possible problem but it's has all of the common fixes done and anything else the RAC card is for it's a case of the fun outweighs the risk.
Colour is called Spectraflair Silver it's one of those that changes in the light. Not cheap if it gets scratched, I think they quote several hundred a litre for the paint. The silver is more subtle than some of the others so easier to live with.
Next plan is driver training.
