Looks like the photo's were taken on the forecourt of a Nr. Dorking based TVR Dealer, so if they are not prepared to retail there must be a good reason especially considering how rare S3 V8's are.
Other big name dealers are trading S3 V6's! Don't forget about buyers premiums at Auctions.
In 2016 I looked at a 15500 mile 1 owner 4.3BV Griffith, at a well known highly regarded auction house and I consided that the car needed virtually a rebuild. That was a total dissapointment from what I was expecting to see.
My advise is tread carefully and try and "Check the cars History", given by the Auction House.

Very rare indeed! My advise is tread carefully and try and "Check the cars History", given by the Auction House.
I wonder what V8 has been installed?
Passed the MoT on 19/10/17 with 2 advisories:
Oil leak
Nearside Front tyre is low on the inner edge
Present owner only had it since June this year.
This one went for £9020 at the classic show (April?):

Glen,I see that now Doh! Always spoils a joke when it needs to be explained to the hard of thinking!
Anyway thanks to the information provided we now know that the car interior is fairly tired and would need a lot of TLC and that The car has indeed been through the garage mentioned above but for repairs only rather than as a sale car.
This is a great forum where helpful people chip in with wee nuggets here and there.
