If you need a TVR fix, you know where we are

Hope you don't feel too bad and as you said you will be back at some point.

I'm sure you'll end up with another similar motor soon-ish.
Just think what the same money will get you in a year or twos time
Enjoy your beer.

Mike

Bad news but I know you've been talking about it for a while

Is it on a sale or return thing or just sold to them?

If you don't mind could you email me some details as I'm considering something similar myself.

Mine's in the classifieds but I'm looking at other options.

Sorry to hear it, even though I knew it was coming. Just think of how much fun the next one will be after some "time off".

Sorry to hear that, Satch.

Have a feeling you might not be away for too long.

There's often passenger space in the Tam if you feel the need. Sounds like it might be musical TVRs for a while.

this just feels wrong to me.

An understatment.

Interested to hear what happens, but unfortunately can't advise on where to go from here as never had it happen before.

You must have something in writing, surely ?

If you can afford it, tell him to stick it and collect your car after paying the bill for the paint etc.

If not - lesson learned. A verble aggreement is not worth the paper it's written on.

As an aside, Nigel and the previous HHC mangement team have had some stick on here. In 25 years of dealing with them, they never attempted to pull a stroke like this.

Sorry to hear of the problems Mike. IMO if they have not done any of the work I would pull the car now - today - and go and see someone else to see if they could sell it for you. If they have, it will be worth taking it somewhere else for a second opinion on the other work, you may save those £ks.

I know its hassle but its got to be worth a try.

I hope you get it sorted

Satch,
Sorry to see you've let her go and even more sorry to see what's happening now. I'm not able to give specific advice on this sort of subject having no experience, it's quite a bizarre situation really. The best advice I could give would be to consumer advice and discuss the situation with them.
Best of luck anyway.
regards,

Carl

My limited legal knowledge suggests a verbal agreement is binding - i.e. a contract doesn't have to be written down to be binding and I and he (by accepting the car, at a previously agreed price and taking the V5) by our actions have implied the agreement to be binding?
>> Edited by satch on Wednesday 27th July 08:32

Like I said before, a verbal agreement is not worth Jack Sh*t. Its your word against his.

If youre not happy, take the car back - but be prepared to pay an unreasonable and non-negotiable price for the work already undertaken.

Satch

That sounds totally disingenuous of SW, I agree with you that you shake hands on a deal and that should be enough. Your point on verbal contract is correct but impossible to prove.

I would speak to another dealer re the cost of the work that is being talked about to see if it is in line with the reduced offer and to other TVR dealers re a cash sale and determine the value you can get elsewhere.

If you can get more, pick the car up and the V5, he is not keeping his end of the deal up so you dont have to keep yours up. Unless he pays the "agreed" price he has to return the V5.

I am now very concerned as I have just let drivestyle have my car on sale or return.

a verbal agreement can be just as binding as a written one.

...sometimes a contract can be inferred from a person’s behaviour without any written or verbal agreement having been reached. As an example, a partnership may be deemed to exist even though there is no verbal or written agreement, simply on the basis that the individuals involved act as though a partnership exists.
