Owning them taught me a lot about tolerance, and mechanics. Including the ever illusive electron.

Hal - you are so right. All the old clunkers I owned in my youth had Lucas bits, I guess I thought it was normal for auto-electrics to be junk! Electrons always escaping in little clouds of smoke.
Rick - Yeah, I knew the Noble comes in to the UK as a turnkey-minus, still a nice piece though, and a credit to the SA plant. I crawled all over a few at the Noble factory, was very impressed with the build quality.
But - TVRs made in their entirety (including engines) at that rambling old plant in Blackpool, and they meet all the EU auto regs, which must be as tough as US Federal requirements. So it can be done.
