If you want horror stories about TVR running costs go to pistonheads.....Ive seen annual costs at 10k+

My advice would be to get a VXT 220 for about 16-17k spend 2k modding it and there wont be much that would touch you

thats not a vxr220...there were only 65 made, and only one black one...and thats not for sale

VXR's are far too track focused for what you are after IMO
