250s advice please

[Ulphie]

Evening all
I am looking to get back into the classic scene I have in the past been a triumph man and could only dream of owning a tvr now the kids have nearly flown the nest I have a large barrage that needs fillling I have seen a 280s on eBay at around my budget and thought I would ask the experts if this is a good deal and anything I should look out forhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1988-TVR-280-S-CONVERTIBLE-FULL-MOT-RUNS-DRIVES-SOUNDS-GREAT-/371525169845?hash=item5680a032b5:g:wVoAAOSweuxWSHGb
Any advice would be really appreciated and I look forward to becoming a tvr owner

Guys that is really useful advice and it goes to prove what they say about this forum so thanks again. Whilst I can wield a wrench I am no expert, I will certainly keep my eyes open. There is a super looking 420 on the classified s here so I have definitely got the bug

I have to say I think I am sold on this TVR ownership thing and as I said I think the seed has definately been sown. The 280 is only 10 minute drive from me so I may go and take a look but will obviously have to do my homework before doing so. We bought the house we are in two years ago it has a huge garage with a pit!!!! and I have just been biding my time garage is cleared out waiting it's new occupant.:-)

Thanks again
I have seen another on "Classic Cars and made an enquiry there are a few about at the moment so I may have to sit on my hands until the right one comes up. Tough one though. Thanks again for all the great advice lets hope I can join the adventure.

I have to say my head was turned a bit with that pristine engine bay on the wedge but I do love the classic style of the s series and the wedge is certainly over budget well....... I may just see what I can do.
