If I may add my own (Chimaera 400) experience, they do need a good yank to engage the handbrake. But it does work of a fashion, leaving in gear is a good habit tho.
And Claire, welcome. This forum needs more of us TVR owners, I fear we're a dying breed.
It is better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
