fabulous car but.

Interior that looks like a tarts boudoir
No chassis pics which you would want to see.

If it is on a brand new chassis with properly re-built and powder coated everything to concours then its about 5-6k too much

if it is on an original repaired and painted chassis then it is about £10k too much

The very same car was sold on pistonheads a few months ago for about 10k if memory serves me right so eclectic cars are basically looking for a mug!

A proper tuscan V6 is a nice car though and only 114 (i think) built in total before 3000M production started.

values are going up and up though and its not as if you can shop around too much for one so who knows.

Reading the details, the chassis has been refurbished not replaced and i totally agree about the colour of that interior. Nicely done but the magnolia just doesn't suit the 'stripes and race number' look of the exterior.

Seats arn't 'period' either and don't suit the 70's look of the car.

Price is very high but there will be somebody with £17k who want's a classic TVR that they car use on the road, not the track. Would I have it...? Yes, but then I'd pull out the interior and pop in some nice Paddy Hopkirk period bucket seats.

Totally agree with Neil and Paul, exterior oh yes, the colour, stripes look fantastic, but open the door and it just says NO to me, seats look like badly re-trimmed late series Jag XJS. Overpriced.... but if buyer has a wad big enough to choke a donkey and wants a rare classic TVR who knows.

At that price the likelyhood will be that the car goes abroad, probably over to the dutchy's or Jarmens.

Strong money indeed but I think that's a taste of things to come with TVR's as they become rare and more seriously sought after over the next 10-15 years.

Looks the dog's from the outside but as above, the interior is not in keeping. It IS nice but not for me.

It's a nice looking car for sure but at least £3-4K ott. It's priced more like it was 2012.

When I looked at one it was 99 - rarer than a Sagaris
