£21K for a V plate 450 with 37K

They're hopeful...

That'll be the one I saw about a month ago driving through the town centre. It does look in good nick from a distance.

That is a lot! I'm currently trying to sell my Chimaera 99T reg with 47,000 miles on for just under £16,000 and thats with a RT Racing stainless super sports exhaust and stainless RT racing Manifold.
Took the cover off to go to Donnington on Sunday and i had forgotten how absolutely brilliant it was.
It was that good i'm considering telling interested parties to sod off.

John - yours is probably the best sounding Chim I've ever heard. 'Twas in Mulsanne last year I think.

£21k is a lot - pretty sure Silverstone TVR sold my old 2000/W 4.5 with 27k for a chunk less than that.

Cheers! I think so too. It sounded good with just the RT stainless Super Sports exhaust on but the cherry on the cake was defonetely the RT racing Stainless Steel Manofold. Its the dogs swingers! Not only does it remind me of Le Mans every time i go and buy some milk but the amber flash in all three mirrors and the banging and popping are out of this world. Spent thousands on the car and i spit on the person who may even consider buying it off me. I love it so much. I may even put the price up to £35,000 just to garuantee i don't get any interest.
