Few months ago I was interested by a 3000M like your nice 3000M racer Nicholas also a green V8M, and change my plan, after that a chimaera or griffith tempted me, but not easy to find a good one and register here, and seen this one, why not!!It is fast for a 1600, the handling seem very good also!

Interesting that there are so many European Purchasers with the Euro strong. I have someone coming from France to buy my Tuscan V6

You should be set adrift on a raft in the English Channel.

A disgrace.

Your new 1600M was featured in Classic Cars magazine, October 2007 in their "Ads on test" series. And they said it was a bargain too.

He asked me what i wanted for it. I gave him a figure I would accept, thinking it would be too high ( that would also pay for a seasons racing) He accepted and now im in a position where I cant say no!

Just picking your brains. The french guy is coming to pick my car up next week at the proce we agreed. I really dont want to let it go, but with the racing season almost upon us and a house development to pay for it seems like it will have to.

What would you say is top money for a nice V6 TUscan? I have agreed a price with him which I think is in my favour and hust need reassuring that its a good deal and that im not being a nutter.....

How much is she going for? If you've got second thoughts you're best keeping her.

Sold a nice car a couple of years ago, and regret doing so.

I played the lottery on saturday in the hope that I could step in and save this one for the nation, twas not to be though. I guess its the one I saw at the Brands Tuscan Challenge meet last year, it looked to be in very good order.

Think big if you are selling to a continental, they've had a big boost in spending power with the fall of the Pound against the Euro and TVRs in general command pretty high prices once they've got them across the channel. Do a search on http://www.classicdriver.com for examples, 21K for a 3000M! ok its LHD but still.....

Back to dreaming, I am looking out for a Vixen project if anyones thinking of selling.

21K, it was better than new and its sold.

Owen, I sold a 3000S Turbo to Germany the last time the pound was weak (I got it back though!). It sold for 29,000 GBP in 1992 which was a stupid price for a RHD car - but it was and IMHO still is, the best example there is of that model with history and provinence (sp?).

I would ask 15000 Euro (no offers) and I think it will sell.

its sold at 15k sterling. thats why I am struggling as I know its a good price, and to be honest I ahvent driven it since Brands last year and then Le Mans. and with another season of racing beckoning I would be mad not to snap his arm off.
