Geezer's having a giraffe. The Swordfish reference is spurious as this is a T2, the price is hilarious and the car probably in't even legal in the US.............

He is having a laugh at that price. This car has been kicking around for a while and was previously for sale down in Miami for $200k. Not sure what it sold for or even if it sold? It was spotted driving around FL by a fellow PHer not long ago so maybe it did? There's certainly some very big question marks surrounding how it got over here and it's legality.
Hoping to bring mine over at some point as a "remanufactured" car however it's a complicated, costly and time consuming process so it has to be for the love of it rather than for any profit.

I called the dealer in Tampa in February.
He told me it was road legal and there was a way to 'do it'.
Said he would be on the look out in future for more, mine for example. I declined.
He told me he had turned down $98k and $100k but dont know what it went for other than it went off their site and was photo'd in Florida on the road.
Might be crazy money to us but it is very exclusive in the US.
I said last year that if US collectors could buy and drive them then the price could go silly. Still believe it.
I personally have met several wealthy American TVR fans who would love to get their handy on a Tuscan, Mk1 or Mk2, not to mention a Sag.

If Unrepentant were to replace the TVR badges on his 280i with Ferrari ones, I'm sure he could pass it off as a rare Fezza prototype in Vegas 
280i? You mean my 280 GTB Berlinetta Boxer pre production special once owned by Elvis Presley? On it's way to Hank and Betty in Nevada as we speak. Yee Ha!

If anyone paid that much for a TVR surely they'd want one that was performing as it should .... isn't the 160mph maximum speed a bit conservative for a T2?
Assuming its on factory suspension and god knows what geo set-up (very likely hopelessly wrong!), 160mph might be your lot before the car feels like its about to throw itself off the road.Clearly this car is worth every cent - as the advert proudly claims, it has

Hardly surprising as it's lived in a desert state and possibly the 'person' who's selling it has failed to notice it's glass fibre ( or is American Education so bad they think that GRP can rust??????)

Splendid chap!
Good morning sir, I understand to sell rare TVR's to discerning orange coloured clientel with ample wonga.
I happen to be selling my rare 4.3 T350, only 20 or so in existence. Previously owned by , well I am not supposed to tell anyone, they were 'that' famous. I am only asking 200 k so you'll make 100 k on top....
