Chuck 'em all in a fruit bowl for a week. Car with the most petrol in it at the end of the week is in the classifeds that weekend.
:-)sounds like a plan, not sure if it would be fair on the chim as i nearly always use it for pleasure and not for duty so probably wouldnt use it as much as the others as i want to keep the tvr as more of an event

what a great way to confirm what i thought already, thanks for your opinions,
i am surprised and not surprised about how little support the boxster gets, its a fine car in my opinion. its had a new clutch and intermediate shaft and the rms seal done recently so i reckon it will be very reliable, oops maybe i shouldnt have said that :-)

Buyer's remorse? It'll pass. Keep all three.
But if you're sure you need to lose one...
IMHO, neither the Boxster nor the XJR are special enough to be the "weekend toy", so you've got to keep the TVR.
So then it comes down to XJR vs Boxster. Depends what you need really and how much capital you want / need to release. To my mind, the Boxster is the better every day car of the two - better engineered, more reliable, more fuel efficient on a steady run, etc. But if you need the ability to transport more than one passenger, or the added practicality of a bigger boot, then keep the XJR.

Another vote for the 2 Brits.
I have this combo at the moment and we have just got rid of the Boxster. The Chimaera has been the most reliable car we have ever owned. Our Jag has been the most ridiculously cheap and pretty much trouble free snotter we have ever owned. Our Boxster cost us £2.5k in engine rebuild costs 5 months after we bought it.
Plus the TVR and the Jag are way more fun to drive. The Boxster is competent, true, but not fun in the way the 2 Brits bring a grin to your face when driving them.

Jag and TVR as above. I always consider the boxster to be a 'compromise' car for folk who can't have two cars.
BingoIf he had asked which 1 do I keep I would have said boxter.
In fact if the TVR wasnt yellow I might have said sell that.
or sell all three and buy a GTR/911
