This is a great time to go looking at/for a toy...

and...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2002-TVR-TAMORA-3-6-Converti...eek

So what other bargain toys can you find? A toy is generally defined as non-practical, not for day to day use and can spit you into a tree like a slingshot if you blink at the wrong moment! biggrin
(preferably a 2-seater soft top too!)

These are starting to look pretty tempting to me biggrin (daily driver/toy rather than exclusive weekend car!)

No mention of miles (unless I'm being dumb?) but looks in good condition:

scratchchin Would'nt mind one of these bad boys either:

I'm sure the best bargains are to be had with more high end large engined cars, which I'm probably not in the market for. Not sure I have deep enough pockets to run a Tiv yet!

Thanks for the comments/ sales pich folks
But needs must, i have had people as far as France and Germany enquire about her but will not let it leave the UK as i would like to have first offer to buy the car back if the new owner sells in the future and the toy fund allows, but hey i still have had some serious fun and have had the pleasure of meeting some really good people on meets and hoons.
So as arnie says ""i'll be back""

"not a bargain" is the understatement of the week! He might have spent a fortune restoring it, but surely he must realise you don't get a penny of it back!
