Bring a TVR home today, guilt-free
July 9th, 2010Buying a TVR is a commitment that should not be entered into lightly. Make sure the time is ready for both you and your spouse to bring home such a special visitor. Once you’re both on the same page, there are a few tips for making the experience easy and enjoyable.The easiest way is to network with a TVR sales specialist, like Kerridges of Needham Market, Suffolk. The sales staff is made up of TVR fans who know which models are appropriate for which customersa sleek and sporty recreational car or a sturdier, more regular vehicle. Kerridges even has an official partnership with TVR and has been the launching place for models like the Griffith and the Tuscan. After ownership, Kerridges also provides reliable servicing for every car.If you’re looking to purchase a vehicle on your own, make sure you know what you’re getting into. TVRs are notoriously difficult to look after, but are very reliable as long as they’re serviced regularly. If you’re buying a used vehicle, you can get a specialist to check it out for you beforehand. Don’t trust to the owner to have kept it in pristine conditionand if it’s been mishandled, it might not be worth the cost of refurbishing it.Certain models are better than others, such as the TVR Sagaris from 2005-2006. As the last model currently in production, it builds on the strengths of its predecessors while eschewing their weaknesses, with good steering and a suitably firm ride. However, it also lacks anti-lock braking system and airbags, since Peter Wheeler believed these caused overconfidence in the driver. Just be sure you can handle it before you bring this one home for the family.
