Shame about the pimpmobile red interior. Better get a bid in quick if you fancy it; closes tomorrow night!

Hi Mark

Nice to see you still around the TVR pages despite selling the 350i to me. Have you replaced it with another yet? Your old car is going well when the whether is good enough to get out in.

The car on ebay never reached its reserve. Anyone any idea what the reserve was.

Hi Mark

Guess what i bought it and didn't even bid on it!!!!

Jon Wood seemed a nice guy and was on the lookout for a Griff. The car is sound all bar a crack on the front spoiler and a few chips here and there. The interior is a bit worn but, for my part, it has the full chassis mount roll bars and harnesses. I was looking for a TVR to play on the tracks with and sprint. If the truth be known I bought a Chimy 500 last Sept, but am too much of a wimp to sprint it...so the 350i will be it. Don't get me wrong i won't abuse it but, I didn't buy it with the intention of a full restoration!

So now have 2 to look after!!!!! Good job I'm divorced with no kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talking of possible bargains, there is a 350i FHC A-frame D-reg pinned on TowerViews notice board.

Minor work for MOT - no offers £2000.

I wish I had some more space to store cars!

Another one would be nice though.............

Wasnt a light green one with side damage in essex was it? The bloke told me, no chassis damage, so I go and see it and the outrigger tube is bent to start with! along with the other damage It didnt seem like a good buy to me
