Good afternoon, just wondered if anyone knows of this car http://www.jamesagger.com/used_cars/stocklistgalle... seems to be a reputable dealer but just want to be sure the car is sound.

thanks I advance for any help.

I don't, but if it is the car I think it is, I recall seeing it for sale shortly after I bought my Tuscan some years ago. The fact the previous owner has run it for so long suggests it's likely to be sound IMHO.

In addition to being run by TVR (as mine was for some time), I suspect it is actually Lotus New Aluminium in colour and was one of the cars that went across the pond to be in the Looney Tunes movie (along with mine).

Mine also has an S body, but when I bought it was not an S (mine is now a 4.5, although I recall this one was a 4.0S / RR when it was sold last time).

James is well known in TVR circles, if he has it up for sale there won't be much wrong with it. Think he has been selling independantly for about 11 years now with a good reputation and used to be with TMS TVR before, lot of his customers have stuck with him since then as well.
Have a chat with him and he will give you an honest appraisal of the car.

Thanks for the help so far. I have spoken to him but about his europa, always fancied a tvr but always thought tamora as legend dictates that they may be more reliable and would be an everyday car but only 10 mile round trip. Did a bit of research on the fella and to be honest having spoken to him today I can see why people like him he comes across very well.
think I may ask for a drive of both and see if the wife lets me have either!
