hello chaps/chapesses, if any of you remember the thread that silverback mike had up in Feb regarding his S3c, well I became the proud owner of it...and now I have decided to move on to pastures new in TVR ownership and the time has come to let it move gracefully on to new owners..

I will be sad to see it go but the quest for V8 grunt has risen again and I would really like to buy back my old impractical Ginetta G33 plus I have recently taken delivery of a company car so the S has been relegated since last week to evening/weekend use..oh well.

hey ho. just wanted to share my pain with you lot, friendly bunch that you are

Ooh sorry to hear the bad news, had a look at your Ginneta on your profile, now that is one nice looking motor. Why did you sell such a gorgeous car?

3 grand services every 3-4 months, chassis was unprotected and needed protecting, it leaked incredibly badly, it had to live on the road, the roof was canvas and the windows fixed, it was getting vandalised, I had nowhere to keep it and I just lost patience with it. oh, and it was autumn/winter and it leaked so badly!

otherwise, I want it back lots

Suddenly a Cerb seems a lot more practical...

Sorry to hear the S has to go, but replacing it with something of such beauty ... well ... good on yer!
