My Old Griffith R354 TJR is for sale with them at the moment. I bought this for £19995 all the way back in 2004 with just 24k miles on the clock. It's not been restored in this time but was a very nice example. Sorry but for that money I would be looking for a T350 etc which has a much younger chassis.. They always do seem expensive to me but then again their are a lot of poor cars out there these days and good saleable stock is hard to find. Plus they aint building any new ones anymore!!

They've got a lot to answer for - gave me my first drive in a TVR in 1986 even though they knew I was just tyre kicking ( They said if I drove a 350i I'd want one one day - they were right!)
Never could get the numbers to work with them though - when I wanted to trade my 47k Cerb for a Sagaris what they offered me for the cerb was about 25% less than I fnally got. It's teh secret of good busines - buy low - sell high!

Bought my old Griff off them a few years back, nice chaps one and all. 1st experience of a Cerb was when I was tyre kicking and Simon chucked me the keys to a 4.5 and told me to go off for half an hour. Didn't buy it (in fact, bought privately in the end) but were a factor in starting the search.
Yes they have historically been priced on the high side, but I've yet to see a dog in there (that they have prepped for sale anyway).
Funny isn't it, we all go on (as owners) about TVR prices being too low and we should, as a collective, ask more for our cars when we come to sell, to drive the prices up. Then when Fernies/AN Other do we all moan about it

Great outfit, Drew a top bloke to deal with. As Jasper said helped get me into TVR's with a similar approach. Stock maybe high end however inhouse warranty v useful.
Having bought and sold a couple of cars through Fernhurst, nothing but good things to say here either. Prices are high initially but you get what you pay for and the after sales support is excellent.I looked at a Chim 400 a few years back, had a nice chat with the guy, can't remember his name but very knowledgeable and helpful. He actually talked me into a 450 as it was probably better suited to my driving at the time. I wanted to trade in but decided to sell privately at the time, but the car i wanted went and then i had a change so shelved the plan at that moment. Always keep an eye on their stock but the set-up looks nice, the showroom and workshop etc.
Bought my griff of fernies back in 07 and at the time knew i paid slightly over the top but felt as i new TVR owner it would be good to benefit from their warranty and experiance, they changed everything i wanted including switching the headers and main cat to a decated pair leaving me with the originals to later sell. Always found Simon very helpfull and my only gripe would be being badly advised on not needing to touch the ECU once the car was fully decated, ran like a dog but made a great noise until Power fixed the ECU. Five years later and about 30k lighter in pocket the old girls bigger and better than ever, roll on the next 5
