how low did they go??

[brownspeed]

It seems that prices have steadily climbed in recent years, which led me to think; what were the lowest values achieved before Tamoras, 350's and Sagaris(s) started to climb again?
anyone any thoughts??

[scorcher]

Tamoras £11K

T350 £16k

Sagaris £30K


??????????????????

[brownspeed]

WOW!!
wish I'd had the cash & opportunity a bit sooner than I did

100mm I think, got a few scrapes under the front

[MK_tamora]

80mm was my lowest point.

I'm just glad I bought my Tamora when I did. It was an absolute bargin altho' I've spent as much again on the upgrades.

When I first seriously considered a sag, i was looking at a 28995 one... I honestly can't remember where was, or much details as that must've been 2008 / 09 / 10 maybe?? Seemed around 30k was going rate. I daftly thought I'll hang on till there low 20's lol. Pretty sure I looked at a yellow t350 once for 18995? I've had a lot of beer since then, and bit foggy lol

I wasn't seriously looking to sell, but when my first Sag was coming up to 3 years old I asked the TVR Centre for a valuation - £27K....

When I bought mine back in 2008-2009 they were 30-35k. They started going up after that

Not sure I ever saw a Tamora as low as £11k.

I do remember one in the classifieds on here for about £12k about 3 yrs ago with, I think, 140k miles on it so maybe that was the one?

[Targarama]

2004 - Bought T350T for £40k.
Jan 2009 - Sold it for £21k.
Sept 2009 - Bought same car back - £18k (this was around the low point of the market I think. I got it back too cheap, who was I to argue (sorry Pete))
Oct 2016 - sold for £33k

Didn't do too bad.

An entry by "Mark UB" on 28/01/10:

...At Oulton yesterday and there was a chap with a T350 with 130k on the clock, It had a TVRPower rebuild at 70k and is still going strong...

Getting towards 7 yrs later, I wonder how many it's done now.

And here is one with 200k miles on it in 2013!:

Possibly the same car?

I think it is the same car, owned by 'shorts'. I think it had another rebuild a couple of years ago and it was upgraded to a 4.3 by Power.
It goes to show that trackdays don't do an engine much harm, he does plenty

[glow worm]

More importantly .... "How high will they go ??? "
Griff ?
Tuscan Convertible?
Sagaris ?

Seem to be the trail blazers

Up to 260k but the engine is with Dom right now. Not sure what's wrong but I know it's not right. Hopefully I'll be back on track soon, Dom willing.

Snap! Bought mine for £16k and have since spent another £22k getting it exactly how I want it (apart from some aspects of the shocking re-trim...)

Ours is exactly how we want it and strangely, cost us £38K




But that was a smidge over 11 years ago..

At the time I had to decide if I wanted to buy a new problem free car, or buy another Tamora and make it like new or better. After test driving the Tam and realising I enjoyed it as much as when I first drove one a decade earlier, it was a no-brainer for me.

And as you say Chris, you have the car you want
