All the best Rob, can't have been an easy decision but I'm sure the itch will get scratched again in the future.
And yes I've been on the JD (again)hic

It is on its way to Austrailia bud.

Suppose the only bonus is i am working out there next year and the new owner has kindly offered to pick me up and take me for a blast.

Its good to see a proper sports car coming out here but also sad to hear that you're unhappy about selling it.

Now i just have to find a nice 390SE or similar to join it!

As Chedder said in such a colourfull paragraph [well put Tony] drinking Rusty Nails causes folk to sell there car, make baby's and travel round the world. As long as you dont do it at every BBWF you'll be ok unless you want a footie team and a few wedges.

Commiserations Rob.

What is going on though? One SX comes back from Oz, then another goes back over?

Well, yesterday the SX was loaded upon a transporter in readiness for its trip to sunnier climes.

Trashed watching it pull out of the street, and my boy lashing my lugs for selling it.

Took plenty of pictures of it that i will post up when i get time.

The trip from blighty to Oz is going to doccumented in Sprint so i believe.

It has been a pleasure owning the SX and also the 350i i had, and i am sure i will have another one of these truely addictive cars in the future.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice and support when things needed tweaking or hammering in the past, you are a great bunch of people.

Till the northern airwaves are full of the mighty wedge noise again, take it easy and drive loud but safe.

All the best.

Rob

Well, Hi to you all, I thought I'd better say G'day as Im the one taking this piece of TVR history well and truly offshore..........
I also had a 350 for about 6 years which I sold in '98 to migrate to Australia (from Essex) and I never stoped wanting another TVR.
There was another SX out here, it was in Queensland, however i dont think he had the doc's needed to register it out here, therefore it had to return to the UK....but MY 350 SX wink Is in much better nick anyway (sorry Rob).
well, I now own this fantastic car and everybody tells me its a really great TVR but I now have to wait until about the end of March before i get a look at it.....thats about 125 sleeps!
I think I have seen it once before maybe at TVR maina Nottingham '95ish who owned it then?

Anyway it will be very well looked after, sorry it will be so far away

Thanks again Rob (you have first dib's should i sell) and ill look forward to your trip to Oz

Ill keep you all posted through PH and TVRCC.

All the best

Adam
