Discussion
In general, increase (my personal opinion), but there is some discussion going on regarding possible impact on Sag values in this thread...

I can only see TVR values increasing. The new TVR has made positive noises about supporting the legacy cars. This can only help more people contemplate TVR ownership. I'm talking about the classic car buyer here who may have been put off buying a TVR in the past because, well, they didn't exist any more.
As more people educate themselves about the old cars I think there will be revisions of the relative model values.

whenever speaking to people that don't really understand and im talking fellow car enthusiast's, two questions im always asked are regarding parts supply and how difficult it must be to get parts as they are no longer trading and of course the standard reliablity rubbish.
Once people understand that both these issues are not issues then im sure the demand will increase. will this increase values much beyond there current value's? who the hell knows... i feel that the values difference will be very little between the models from the same era's, that may mean some will decrease and some may increase.
its only worth what someone is willing to pay and worthless until you need to sell, so that means my Tuscan is worthless.... hang on, is that right?!?!?!?

Austin Healey and MG went under years ago, but people pay big money for what are frankly, shonky, draughty and slow old cars compared to a V8 TVR. Crackers really.As more people educate themselves about the old cars I think there will be revisions of the relative model values.
This topic is just warming up i do totally agree with you all there are to many snobby snide sneering t
ts who have no clue whatsoever how good and how reliable and how fast TVR is after all they have nothing to prove as TVR have wiped out all opposition in their time and by the look in future if cosworth are going to make a new engine for the new TVR then i am afraid to say to those snobby tts you're having a laugh .

and no one will ever come near and that is real progress as the weird are still stuck in their time capsule will they never learn there is no
replacement for real horse power .

The reality is most people grew up listening to Clarkson and others gradually slagging the cars off,,,,
That coupled with the sad fact he was right,,,, made people who already thought the cars were somehow kit cars,,,,
When I was young I believed you bought the car and put your own bits in them,,, I also thought they were Kit cars in essence.
Now the younger generation and even many older people are seeing good cars and how they can be maintained and looked after as good as any so called classic,,,
The old factory is long gone, most people don't even know what a Tvr is,,,,
If the new team and let's face it,,, the companies involved ain't losers,,,,
If they Can build a super light fast car that blows the fat cats away
People will then see our cars as the true last British Classic sportscar,,,, when you see what the chaps on here have managed to do with their cars,,,,, brakes, handling, looks, engine improvements that equal any power curve when coupled with our light chassis,,,
That's another thing that will now forever cost a bomb,,,
To pass safety tests to create something as light as our cars is no mean achievement,
Were very very lucky to have a proper race car on the drive!
The law wouldn't allow it

Took my Chim for a quick blast this week and popped into town to pick up a parcel from the PO, on the way out i stopped at traffic lights and a small group of twenty something lads were trying to work out what my car was, they even struggled to pronounce Chimaera correctly, then a bloke in his forties walked over and said "its a TVR they were hand built in Blackpool and they go like stink"
I think they can only go up in value, the less there are available the more they will command a premium ! When i get asked questions at petrol stations or traffic lights. Its either "what is it ?" or "Can you rev it up ?" either way it makes me smile
