26 service stamps in 25000 miles, guess you could call that regularly serviced!

More interestingly, only 2 S's in the classifieds and one of those is a much older Vixen.

They seem to be becoming rarer, i see only three on E-Bay, and two seem well priced.
You never know, things could be looking up.

Worth every penny, I would snap it up. Of course I could be biased and have an element of self interest in seeing prices rise, though immaterial as not going to sell mine, ever, but will pass it onto my Son, so he has told me.

My sentiments exactly. Will have to increase my insurance valuation though wink

Those that already have one love them to bits and generally would prefer to sell a kidney than part with their V8S. They don't come one the market that regularly, let alone one that looks in such a great condition. Would probably cost more to get one up to that spec, I hate to think how much mine has had lavished on it in the past few years and it probably still won't be as good as that one appears to be!

Good luck to them, I hope they get it. The S deserves to rise in value the same way other TVRs are at the moment smile

Very happy to see this - it's about time people started asking proper money for these cars, and good ones are increasingly rare.

And another laugh from me!

Mike is obviously using basic economics of supply & demand to, quite understandably, push the prices us. Some choose to invest in a 2nd property, Mike doesn't wink
