I guess I better join this thread now. Of all the micros I've owned or driven over the years, I have to say in my opinion that the Tg is tops. It has an engine that's bullet proof if driven sensibly ( most Tg's have their original motors with high mileages ). The high pitched whistle from the fans whizzing around at 11,000rpm ( twice crankshaft speed ) is addictive. The ali trim that flows over the wings, the stone guards, the curvacious wing shape is what makes these cars special. The handling is unreal, brakes are excellent The photos of Fritz Fend racing them in the 50's are brilliant. It's a shame that there weren't more built to keep the values down, then more could witness the experience.
Bob, I'll be going to the schmitt rally in UK next summer and you are more than welcome to take my car for a proper test drive if we can meet up. You never know, it may change your opinion on them, as long as you can 'double de clutch' with the crash gearbox. Nick.
