I wouldnt describe it as cheap. Its an earlyish S6. They were fetching that sort of money 4 years ago.
This one has been sale for a long time.
It has been discussed on other threads albeit no negatives from those that have viewed it (from memory).

This car was discussed towards the end of the thread below.

Probably because of the mileage.

I reckon its the milage, coupled with the fact that its an early S6 with no mention of a rebuild. Also as said by someone that went to view it, the dealer doesn't seem to know alot about TVR's. It could be a good buy if you can get it cheap enough, which might be possible as he has had it since the middle of last year.

I very much appreciate the advice...As a footnote: The last Cerbera I bought I paid over the odds from a dealer who was very respected: I can tell you after that experience I may as well have bought the car from Donald Duck...!!!! So these guys not knowing really doesn't worry me....I'll take my chances LOL

I would try and get that one for £7K ? You really do need to budget rebuild (4 - 7K) plus other niggles. It shows no evidence afaik of recent cash being splashed which is likely to give you a financial challenge. Hurry up as Chatsworth is looming. Why dont you ask Raceproved to take a look. They do inspections and are very very good - much better than the pre purchase inspectors out there who seem to send the same report to every client.

Fascinating guys!!! Drive 40 miles to look at the car (with warning) and the salesman wouldn't start it.."the batteries flat so it just won't run right.......You need to make an appointment later in the week......" mmmmmmm - I think we all know why it's still for sale now......

Might still be worth getting Raceproved to inspect?
