Ah yes, the most underestimated TVR. For some reason people think they are a lesser car than the T350/Tuscan/Sagaris. I can tell you that they are not. How to make passenger cry out loud in petrol induced fear...
I thought the T350/Tuscan/Sag are all 4.0, and the Tam was 3.6...!? I know you can get a 4.0 in a Tam though, with Red Rose pack
Not sure what it had really, as long as it didn't go pop in the engine department I'd be happy to run/maintain one myself as a long-term keeper!
I really like them, and the Mrs really likes them too, so if I have another sports car convertible after the Z4 that will be it
I think I'd have had one instead of the Z when they were down near £11,000-£12,000, they have shot back up near £15,000-£16,000 now for early ones... my only concern was getting one with a good engine, preferably with warranty. I just couldn't afford that to go wrong. Running costs no problem, but a £7-8k rebuild just 'happening' eeek!

It had obviously decided that it's oil was surplus to requirements. 
He had his driving buddy parked behind him, an MR2 I think, he had that, "oh no, not again", look on his face.
