Hey does anybody on here know of a well maintained car that might be for sale in a month or so?

Finally got my own garage and roof over my head, so I'm going to get one before the summer and get out in it as much as possible cool No-one can advise me otherwise now - there really is no reason not to!

Not really fussed over an S1/2/3/4, just want a nice looking car that's been looked after and is known to a few people on here really to give me confidence in buying my first TVR.

Any recommendations? smile

David - if you have a particular car in mind its always worth a post - some of the guys on here will probably have been to see it and they will tell you what they liked and didn't like about it.

There were one of two posts not long back from members that were thinking of selling - anyone still thinking of selling will probably post here again.

Look here for more info http://www.tvrssseries.com the chassis condition is crucial - if you can find one thats had a chassis refurb you're laughing.

Ta for that mate. I know to check the chassis out and make sure the rear tubes and the outriggers are sound. I found one a few years ago but situation at the time meant I couldn't have it frown

Do you know NCS? He was giving me loads of advice on them at the time but I've forgotten most of it laugh I know to check it doesn't get hot in traffic as well (the one I found had a manual fan switch to help the cooling).

Oh, and if anyone knows how to get them really loud ears please feel free to share the info wink

It can wait until tomorrow, news about a possible S3 for sale but it's not going on the market for a while yet.

Hi, not sure if you're still looking for an S (or if anyone else is).

Mine (or rather the Other Half's) is for sale - currently residing at TVR Car Parts / Dulford Auromotive in Cullompton, Devon.

Much loved, but sale forced by a move abroad. Good car though - and seriously good fun.

Can supply more info / photo's etc if req.

I've sadly come to the conclusion that it would be sensible for me to sell my S3C in the next couple of months. It had a complete new chassis about 2000 miles ago along with new clutch, brakes etc.

She has to go as I just don't have the time these days to do her justice, I hate the expression 'baby forces sale' but thats basically what it boils down to.
