My rear view mirror is clearly the original one from 1999. It’s started to de-laminate at the bottom, and vibrates and wobbles at speed.
 

The new one is so much better
 

edit: and i can confirm that after a spirited drive out, there is no vibration at all.
 
Now on to some shiny things.. back in the day, a company by the name of Leven Technology took the shiny bits from TVR and made them 100% better. Unfortunately these items are rare as hens-teeth today, but with some patience and a long running ebay search, they will occasionally show up.
 
How could you improve on the TVR bonnet badge?
 

Well.. the regular badge looks identical, that is until you wax/polish the car, then you get white powder stuck in the grooves.
Leven encased it in resin, so that is a thing of the past. I also have a rear badge encased in resin too, that I wrote about earlier here.
 
3 years later and it still looks fantastic
 

Leven are best known though for their Aluminium pieces. This handbrake lever is a thing of beauty, and is so much better/higher quality than anything on sale today from the usual TVR parts suppliers.
 

 
Edit: just heard Lockdown is being relaxed this weekend.. yay 🙂
