Burnt Out S3 On eBay - S4 Bonnet

[Bobhon]

Can't do the linky thing but it's this item number on eBay 26122478750

Sadly it looks like another S has bitten the dust, don't see this one as being salvageable. But it does have a late S4, side vent Chimaera style bonnet.

A handy pile of spares

What a b....y shame! I am pretty close, it is a great pity I do not have a barn or anything like that or I would break it to help keep other S's going. Looks like there is some interest anyway.

[S2Mike]

Looks like engine bay hardly touched, would be a good spares or maybe a new chassis, tub and rebuild??
.
Such a shame to lose another one......!

Stranger things have happened .......

Didn't the S start the revival in the 80's after the wedge nearly sank Lilley? We just need this Les fellah to be another Peter Wheeler :-)

[S2Mike]

Buy up all the available ones restore and upgrade and relaunch. Sounds like a good plan...!

[Kie s2]

Cor can't believe that price !
Is there an S out there with an I D crisis..
Or that mothern Chap that breaks
Piles of plastic , this would save him the labour ?

[S2Mike]

Or more sinister, has someone got an eye on a pristine one and is gonna swop identities??

[HvdWeerden]

Shows how much our S-es are worth. Back in SCH2011 I bought a complete S for UKP 1750 !!

Come on guys speculate, , I thought the same as S2 mike , could be sinister.
I would only of paid a monkey for that pile not a penny more( my opinion)

Reckon they are in a funny place at the moment - parts are being snaffled up like gold dust. Wing mirrors expensive, indicators expensive, O.z 8 Spokes (might as well buy a complete car, as wont be found without car)

could it be the new TVR company needs bits to make some new care from

Basing the design on the best TVR bonnet ever

[Alan Whitaker]

would be nice to see what they could do with a revamp of the S


Alan

[Kie s2]

I think any new S would not make economic sense to manufacture , there is just not enough meat on the bone for profit.....
Now the Sag , or Tuscan convertable , would make more sense to manufacture ...
I would be very worried now if you have bought these models at current prices, maybe a newer model would devalue these..?

I reconned £500/600 at most.......

[v8s4me]

A new V8S bonnet is £1200 + VAT + painitng. You can't get a new 'S4' bonnet (AFIK) so what do you think is a fair price for something as rare as that?
