Should I Sell

[tvrchim500]

Have been thinking lately about selling my Tuscan Convertible but I am undecided. I have no need to sell it but I also have a V8S and you can only drive one at a time.

The car is a 2005 model with 18,000 miles. Also not sure what it is worth with prices on the way North.

Wow

Stunning.

Must be worth a good bit north of £40k privately. Do you much prefer the V8S?

I saw this car at the shuttleworth 50th do last year and had a chat with the owner. It is a stunner.

Don't you need the classified section?

With prices rising on tuscans it's an appreciating classic, if you don't need the cash or garage space, and the missis is not giving you ear ache why sell? Unless your hankering for something else,but for the money what can come close to any of the T cars for performance per mile?

With TVR reliability you always should have two, on the duty/standby basis. My view is don't sell as interest in TVR will increase due to the launch of the new car and I'm guessing prices for Tuscans may well increase over the next year or two. If you don't need the cash then hold on to it. Just my view.

If you have an S then keep that ...it's all you need.....sell me the Tuscan for a tenner....

Thanks for the comment. Its not that I prefer the S. They are totally different animals. I had a 500 Chimaera before the Tuscan and just missed the V8 rumble and low down torque. I also thought having two TVR's is better than one.

Gents,

Thanks for all the comments. Guess I'll wait till after the Silverstone Classic and have another think about what I want to do.

You want to sell me the V8S

Now now Stewart, you are just getting greedy. You have to leave one or two TVR's spare for others. You can't have them all!

[HarryW]

As already said they are on the way up and unless you need to sell then I'd sit it out for a little while yet. If it were me and I had to sell then I'd cash in the T2 and keep the V8S as I don't think they've climbed as far up that curve. But that's me....

Definitely not. It's a keeper. Just on replacing the dash and switch panel then I'll get it MOT'd.

You must be one of those who does not realise is that when its gong is when it dawns on you and you kick you're self to wake up to why did I sell then you will be sadly missed ?😩😩

If you're lucky your cash will earn you 5%pa, but your Tuscan is appreciating by far more than that even after expenses, so unless you have project that needs that cash it would seem perverse to sell in this market.

What he said. I'm still not over it!

[Twistygit]

I think you need a bigger garage, maybe hidden from the other half
Forgot to say definitely don't sell you will regret it,

Hi Graham,
The other half is not pushing the sale and in fact knew nothing about it until yesterday. I really fancied the Vixen that was for sale last week but would need to remove one of the TVR's to make room for it. Any way no concrete plans as yet. How's the Chimaera coming along.

[Twistygit]

So its more of the space issue,I'm sure you could squeeze a vixen in by moving stuff around, but if you thinking retirement project I think the S will keep you ample busy enough
