Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

I have sold the Puma, to a bloody nice chap from Leeds (pending an inspection from the AA / RAC).

Daily hack is arranged... pick it up next Wednesday...

So, anyone who has an S for sale, in the 6000-7000 bracket... gimmie your sales pitch.

TVR-dom, here I come!

Okay, here it goes:

I haven't played scrabble for over eight years. All the letters are in particularly good condition. I have a wide choice of 'S's to choose from. none have dog teeth marks in them and are available in your price range pending a RAC inspection!

Subsequentally TVR-dom doesn't contain any 'S's but I have a few T's, V's, R's, D's, O's and M's available at competitive prices too!!!

I hope the buyer don’t look in on PH, because if he does then he’d know how desperate you were to sell the Puma and drive the price through the floor.

Good luck with your TVR purchase – don’t be too impulsive.

I advertised initially at £11,250 and then dropped to £10,750... hardly call £500 driving it through the floor! In dropping it below £11k, it crops up in so many more searches, as £11k tends to be a barrier - but thanks for taking the wind out of my sails.

Don’t get me wrong I’m please for you and was pulling you leg about the price.

Was in a similar boat recently when trying to sell my M3, didn’t go for weeks and was getting seriously frustrated.
Once it had gone I was just like you – “I’ve got the money !! Give me a TVR!!” Drove all the way to North Wales to see one with the cash in my hand and nearly bought it. Thankfully I took a 3rd party who gave me an unbiased opinion and looking back I bloody glad he did because the one I’ve got now is miles better.

It's probably nicked then! (or a bogus advert)
Some people don't seem to have a clue about their cars when advertising them. Classic one from the local rag:

1989 Ford Fiesta 1.3cc
good condition, 1990 model,
T&T, no MOT hence: £150

Yeah, no problem...

I actually "sold" the Puma within 3 days of advertising it. Guy came round, said he loved it, and left £100 as a deposit. I told the next 5 people who called that ti had gone.. foolishly didn't take their details down. Anyway, he phones back and says he's been refused a loan, can he have his £100 back! Told him to take a hike - that was the point of a deposit, and call the rozzers if he didn't like it, since I'd wasted all the advetising money / time /etc etc.

Understand what you mean about the TVR... gotta make sure the head rules the decision! Got a few in mind, driven a few good ones, but intend to take a long a specialist 3rd party to make sure.

Here's to TVRs!

We’ll there’s plenty of S and ex-S owners on here, so you should be able to get some good advice! GilesS3 has a very nice looking one for sale.
