Tuscan Convertible Market?

[The Surveyor]

Having thoughts of a change, I've owned my 'vert for 8 years now and loved every minute and whilst it would be like loosing a member of the family I'm thinking it may be time for a switch.

Looking through the classifieds, there are only 2 'verts for sale at the moment so it's difficult to get a feel for the market at the moment especially given that it's coming to the end of the TVR season and both the cars for sale have less miles than mine.

Here it is:-



It's a bit 'crystal ball' but have prices peaked, should I wait until the spring, should I keep it for another few years, or should I just keep it forever?

Help!

Thanks guys,

Part of the problem is that it is such a lovely thing to own and I can't think what to replace it with, if indeed I do at all. It's not been used that much this year and there is just too little time and too many potential toys!

Argh!

Paul already has his Maserati to fix.....

Sorry, just had to correct that for you David

As for 'what replacement', some funds and space would go into my 3000m rebuild with the remainder towards a T350t or Tamora, or an esprit, or a Merak, or a Pantera, or a Stratos replica, or a GT40 replica, or Nobel, or.... just something different!

Those CSi / CSL are very nice indeed David. As for the Pantera, a good friend of mine has one and it's pure theatre. Loud, fast, dramatic to look at, and general just bloomin lovely, unfortunately out of my budget.

Oh and it's for sale at the moment too:-

Thinking on this whilst in the garage last night, I may do some little cosmetic jobs on it over the winter and put some feelers out in the New Year. The interior has never been touched and whilst there is no wear on the leather, the pumpkin coloured alcantera has lost its sparkle on the door cards and hoop, and some new mats also. Maybe a front-end paint and get the wheels refurbished etc at which point I may as well just keep it....

Confused!

Spoke to Tony at HHC today and we're going to look at some of those cosmetic jobs as well as some new gas struts for the boot lid.

Maybe some little cosmetic tweaks will help me love it again

You really know how to treat a lady ..... Buying her gas struts ... I hope they're stainless ones

Buy a Sag to keep her company ... I did ...

Going with standard struts Keith, don't want to spoil her

Seriously, if funds were available I'd have a Sag like a shot, alas that's not going to happen

Cheers
