I think this belonged to a guy on PH called stevegriff iirc he swaped it out for a Griff 500 recently. Hope this helps

Lovely - but is it worth £10k, bearing in mind the bonnet needs work......

Worth a debate!

[v8s4me]

Is this the same one we saw in Scotland in 2011?

[Julesprivate]

it's nice... but I don't think it's worth that much (but then again their cars are always a bit pricey for my taste). You could get a nice V8S for that money.

I know it's got a bit of historic relevance but I wouldn't pay that much of a premium for it..

Being M reg will it have/need cats?

Yup - think it was mandatory from '92.

Edit - just spotted it actually says S4c in the advert.

I thought so and seem to remember the Chim wheels too. Looks like its moved south since then

Private sale around 6K ?

Dealer 7K ?

3K for the privilege of owning the "last one" ?

Knowing my luck, if I were I buy it, a newer one would turn up the following week!

In our world of vanity personal number.plates , you are paying for the bragging rights to keep that an m plate . A case of reverse of trend ?

Now that fernies have got the car with a proven export record , this car appeals to the international buyer ,
I think it would be very hard to wrestle a better price deal at this stage early on , good luck to any prospective buyers , seems like a nice car ....

I was very tempted by Nick's Cossie S, but not this, way too expensive IMHO.
The fact it may be the last one does not add £5k to the value.
Nice colour though.

I just cant understand the S owners you are always so keen to talk Down the values of the S models it's always ( cant be worth that price ,it should be about so much lower and such ) This is a thing you dont find on so many other forum's. in my view this only helps to keep our car values lower.Just look at the prices of old fords that were ten a penny.

Nice looking car IMO, and the Estorils actually suit the S - to my surprise.

Personally, I think it's a £7000 - £7500 car from the photos, which is probably why Fernies (who seem to ask premium prices) have it for £10k.

To me that's an asking price... I'd want the paint on the bonnet sorted for that money though - and the handbrake looks a bit too high for my liking.

[Gaffer]

This was made for Vicky. She drove it out of the gates, put her foot down, span it, got out and vowed she would never drive one again. It was then left in the graveyard to rot.

Is it worth more than any other S..? I doubt it. Is it a little piece of TVR History and folklaw...yes.

I'm sorry David,

Perhaps I should have qualified my post by saying "at current selling prices".

I'm all for S values going as high as possible, I think they, along with Wedges, are currently the most undervalued sportscars around.
Certainly the pleasure/£ ratio is sky high.

But let me ask you one question....

Would you pay £9,995 for this car in today's market?

[Podie]

Some ACT manifolds, decats and exhaust and a decent aftermarket ECU would make that into a lovely, lovely S.

I have to say the S Series are worth so much more than what on average they are advertised and unfortunately prices are stagnant and haven't gone up. Taimars, 3000M's Marcos, Triumph's (used to have a GT6) have all gone up, £9,995 for an 'S'..... great should all raise the level.

[S2Mike]

Maybe we should all, at spaced out intervals advertise ( with no intention of selling ) our S at an inflated price, say £3k over our current valuation, then maybe the market will rise accordingly!
Has someone already thought of this or am I brilliant ??
