If a chimeara is for sale at £12k 1996 good condition with a full service history, what would it be worth without any history, assuming ownership is pooven?

the dodger said: What sort of "service history" are we talking about here? A 1996 for 12k is suspiciously good value even this time of year!

So is it Full TVR Dealer service history and the dates and mileage tie up with the MOT's etc? Or is it something less? Not that I am saying it has to be Dealer servicing - just that service history in itself means nothing. IMHO of course.

The car in question has no service history at all, it has a reg document and is in fiarly good condition. It is available to me at £10k and i am wondering if the savings over a full documented service history car are worth the risk. i do intend to keep the car for 2 years and will develope history for it as it absorbs my funds!

the dodger said: Simon - most people here think you are considering a purchase? But after reading your original note again you could be enquiring about SELLING!

So, which is it?


I am thinking about buying, he wants 10k no service history at all, good condition but a few tatty bits, N reg, 35k miles. What do you think
