I thought they were owned by Manheim Car Auctions? You would think that they would at least get used car values correct

The RR Silver Shadow in the picture is actually Freddie Mercury's old car - when it sold last year the guide price was £9-11k but it made £74k.

" But as many people know TVRs, can be temperamental. "

like any of the bargain basement examples of super /lux cars on their list are going to be paragons of reliability...

I work for a division of Manheim. The www.motors.co.uk is Manheim's primary website for public interaction. I occasionally use their offices in Abingdon and they are a very nice bunch of people.

I have never heard mention of www.motoring.co.uk. I have searched the Manheim intranet for mention of the website and the website's "contact us" postcode without getting a result.

Therefore, pretty sure that www.motoring.co.uk is not a Manheim concern.

A 13 year old MR2 with a bodykit doesn't sound very good value at £12k, in fact it is even worse value than a fake snake with a Pinto engine at the same price wink
