Tvr values and are they an investment?
Discussion
You're obviously struggling to part with it and looking for reasons to keep it (I did that with the old chim)
I don't see most TVR's being investment material, yes they will appreciate as they have been for a few years, but IMO not at a rate to consider it an investment.
If you keep it and want to use it on very occasional times, you will have to service it, tax, insure, fuel, fix it (if it's been stood). If you're thinking of dry storing it and not paying for the priviledge then yes going on the past few year it will appreciate.
But if it is really becoming difficult for you to drive it, personally I would sell it. Unless you do not really need the money.

Is this your car?

If so it's my old one! I sold it in 2009 (I think to a Michael Moss) and back then I had it advertised at around £13500 and eventually got about £13k for it.
Similarly I sold my last TVR, a Griffith a couple of years ago and it was recently on the classifieds for £5k more than I sold it for, it did sell but no idea how much for.
So they're certainly not going down in value.
