Sill Looking For Vixen or 3000S
Discussion
I am still looking for an early TVR but I am struggling to find the right car after going to the Pre 80s event in September I decided it had to be either a Vixen or a M series Convertible 3000s.
I seem to be finding cars that either need a lot of work or the owners claim that they have been restored but unlike that Vixen I noticed for sale in America which looks pristine but that level of restoration don't seem to come up here if that car was here and a RHD it would be fantastic.
Does anyone know of a very good restored example that's coming on the market I don't have any ability to do the work myself so I have decided that a Restored example is the best way to go.

I have been offered this car at £14000 I wonder does anyone have any more information on the car I am told it was one of the first S2 Vixens and has the early wooden dash.
I believe it was restored in the 90s by David Gerald and just needs some paint work I wonder does anyone have any history or knowledge of the car in the last few years
Thanks

Looks Very Much like this car that was on e bay in August looks like it was a dealer sale again rather than a private byer

Very nice looking car from the pictures you would be wise to have a very good inspection done on the car if you are unsure what to look for do factor in that its an older restoration and many things can need doing that others think as change when they have to and some change as routine maintenance regardless of how much its been used

Same car , different car, sold then not sold. Sold again now for sale again at a Loss!!!! Sounds like a right pantomime ,? Just waiting for someone to shout (it's behind you !!)
And all in 9 weeks without anyone spotting it up for sale again without even the paintwork being sorted I thought dealers added Value by at least sorting issues with a car to justify a £4500 margin Andrew

when i spoke to the 'dealer' who got it from ebay for 9.5k, he was unashamedly frank that he was putting it for sale again at 16k, without doing anything at all to the car since he aquired it (and with no intention of doing so)
odd how someone making a profit on a car seems to be a hangable offence on here..All people had to do was offer more than the 9.5k that the dealer offered at the time then they would own it....

As i said in another post- I did offer the vendor this price and potentially more, if he could hold off for 2 days until i see the car for real (i was abroad)
he didnt wait and sold it to the dealer. which is fine
i was one of the few genuinely interested in buying it.
Nothing wrong with people buying and selling vehicles, but i think the mark up was excessive. I dont think my view will be the minority one.
