Agreed. That front 3/4 shot makes it look hilariously bad! £240k!!!!

It looks like a Tuscan that has had a severe allergic reaction and is red and oedematous

[Scarfie]

When you think a proper fabled TVR sold for 500k (Speed 12), the price of this is nonsense. It’s just a run out of the last Smolensky cars, it’s not a looker, it gives you nothing over a Sag apart from seats. 100k, absolutely, 200k, you’re mad to consider it.

Would rather have the 660 SEAC than this or the Speed 12 in my Garage but I’m a biased.

It puts me in mind a little of the Marcos Mantis, not nearly as bad obviously but the rear roofline is similarly unbalanced?



I do think the colour is stunning though and I bet it’s an absolute brute to drive.

I love TVRs don't get me wrong, but if you're going to charge that much for it, you need to make sure that the attention to detail bits are all sorted as you say I reckon.

Zoom in on the dash, there is 1 litre of fuel in it

Reminds me of the time I bought a nearly new Alfa from a well known Cheshire main dealer and the fuel guage was on the needle stop, and the nearest petrol station was a squeaky bum distance away

It's a TVR...so it's probably reading wrong anyway!

All joking aside though...my goodness and why would you leave so little in it like that?!

660 SEAC! Interesting., I never knew. Learning something new everyday. Thought peak SEAC was the 450.

Blimey that (replacement?) VIN plate looks a mess - engraved by a 5 year old?

Nope, that’s what all TVR VIN plates look like

[BigChiefmuffinAgain]

For some reason I thought these were 4 seaters?

A bit of history.but at that money and those looks ................

[Petrus1983]

I don't want a TVR but if anyone can point me in the direction of the guy who set the prices' dealer can you let me know. I want some of that.

And this is the stuff you can see right in front of your eyes , can’t even be arsed to sort that out, what about the bits you can’t see. Love the car nonetheless, but for that money would definitely be something else.

[Silvanus]

I absolutely loved these at the time, but looking at it now I'm not so sure. To be honest that yellow Tamora looks the best to me now.

[S600BSB]

Not a looker and crazy money. Buy a Sag and bank the rest.

That's not denying that a 5 year old did it.

Exactly. Sagaris is spectacularly better looking and you can have 3 for that money.

What did the Speed 12 make?

And this is way overpriced and I love TVRs. It looked far better in DeWalt livery.
