Not a whim chaps, but necessity. I have to sell the car, no other way around it and it's due to rather heavy personal reasons, and it isn't going to be replaced by another TVR, well, not for a couple of years.

My back is against a wall on this one, even Mrs silverback will be sad to see it go, although she doesn't particularly like tvr's or any sports car she knows how much effort I have gone to over the last 5 years to fund buying it.

I know it's a bit of a nono to put this sort of thing on the forums, but it will shortly be in classifieds. I'm selling it for a very reasonable amount, and really want it to go to someone on here.

Here's a pic for reference, It quite literally is immaculate inside and out. Ask 'honourable pickle' how much he spent on it by way of improvements last year. It's got a little 'best in class trophy' too, and a £250 goretex cover.

And please chaps no "Mike sells car quickly" comments, I would honestly keep it if at all possible.

I'll be back in a V8s as soon as I can, I have no other option unfortunately folks. It's not through want of something else shiny, more family reasons, which have to be the first priority.

Give me a couple of years, I'll find a way. thumbup

I'm really sorry to see you are having to sell your P&J. I know how I would feel if it was me.

Hope you get your problem sorted out soon and can start saving for a replacement. All the best, Simon.

Hi,
I did hear there was a spate of vehicle crime around that area, apparently the beat officer for the area is going to do some extra patrols and take a plain car out in the evenings.

Re the V8, I know, it's become a bit of an institution round here, however, there is a cracking blue chimaera not too far away.

ears It doesn't go as well as the S though *cough*

I'll take it out of hibernation for a good thorough going over in the next couple of days - where do you live? (probably best to PM me that. )
