How much checking ??

Not a huge amount, none of the wishbones or the steering rack were damaged. The chassis was guaranteed straight too. I fixed a 4.5 Cerb year before last and was astounded at how little impact the wishbones took to damage them so I'm fairly confident about my car's road-worthy-ness.

I think I know what you mean when you say "I can help if you haven't bought it yet" Don't worry I tend to believe what I see much more than what I hear

And no, it's a dark blue, magnolia hide 4.0, although it's dificult to tell in most of my photos

Thanks for the feedback

Ben

Fine, looked at both the previous cars mentioned (not a dark blue one) a while back and then was approached by the fraud squad a little while back, I had both the cars were inspected and one had had its chasis swapped and the other was not exactly legal.
When I had a call from the fraud squad they were shall we say investigating following on from the T.V. program investigating quality ..... that was aired about a month ago ish if you have bought it I am sure you have done sufficiant checks.
I was only trying to help if you haddnt bought it as when I spoke to TVR and the previous owner about the other two all kind of bits had been swapped

Hello Ben, welcome to a world where crazy people make you do things your wallet/wife/whatever would really rather you didn't.
I hope you like power. Lots and lots of power. Huge great tidal waves of torque backed up by hundreds of grim steeds welling up, up from hell on a hot wing to speed, lots and lots of evil, manic speed and even more screaming, furious, vengeful noise.
You'll like it here. I get to walk around the courtyard from 3 till 3.30 every afternoon.
