After nearly 6 months without my TVR, I have decided to put the missus up for sale.

Really well cared for great little runner, originally from south wales and only 30 years old, good looking, great bodywork all over, full service history (recently just had the major service), not many owners (at least that's what I am led to believe!), low mileage, unfortunately the silencers have been taken off so can be a bit noisy, has always been run in properly - never driven hard until she's warmed up, immaculate bumpers, tracking device can be tempremental, full leather optional.

I've had enormous fun with her but I miss owning a TVR. Price is open to negotiation and I am putting her up for £39,950. Part exchange welcome for a Saggy in reflex charcoal or similar colour. Contact me for for a test drive - you won't be disappointed.

Flagpole.

Oh dear, Sorry to hear that mate. You need the model i have! Simply great bodywork that looks after itself and doesn't need constant polishing, touching up and admiring. Has own satelite navigation and built-in servicing capability. Doesn't like being taken for a ride, but cant get enough of taking the controls and giving it some gas! Oh, and in the last 4 years has owned the following:

Ford Focus sti170
Ford Focus RS
Ford Fiesta ST
Lotus Elise
Ford Focus ST (orange!)
Mini Cooper S Works
Lotus Europa S (modified!)

Next? Sell the house and buy a Baby Aston Martin V8...

Doesn't leave me much opportunity to go out in my car though...

You didn't mention consumption.
Has she had any previous female owners? laugh

Sorry forgot to say:

Consumption wise, can be a bit thirsty
No previous female owners despite having a few look at her

An Advert is no use without pictures from every angle.

Also, what are the monthly running costs and does she ever break down?

Mine claims to pass all the emissions tests - I'm sure her catalyst works because there is the occasional whiff of bad eggs about. Still prefer the rumble of a V8 though & there is nothing like a good honest whiff of exhaust gases.

Only recently passed my test, would she be suitable for a learner? Is she fast ? and how easy is she to handle?? Do you think I should keep wearing my L-Plates???

Sounds like this 'good little runner' would be ideal for you glow worm.

Of course she would need to stay very well maintained....as all good runners do.

With frequent trips to the local service outlets for regular titivation.

She will need her 'headlights' and 'bumpers' slowly and regularly polished in a 'wax on wax off' fashion.

A regular filling of the most expensive drink to keep her running without fault....and ensuring that on runs out (frequent) all the right buttons are pressed for maximum enjoyment of the ride.


Most important .......a nice warm place to tuck her up at night to keep her happy.

As you've recently passed, just don't get too excited and try to wear her out in the first couple of months wink
