IMHO As DirtBoy said in amother post, there will start to be a big disparity between 'Good' Cerbs and 'Bad' ones. So yours will be a 'Good' one. I doubt you'd be able to add a huge amount on the advertised sale price unfortunately. But when you come to sell it, it will make it a lot harder for the buyer to knock £2k off !!

^^^ What he said. You're not going to buy a car with a rotten chassis under normal circumstances so as part of due diligence they're going to check that it's a good'un - the car with a chassis refurb just gets that tick quicker imo.RUSSELLM said:

Normally when you buy a car, the very least you'd hope for is an MOT & a one piece chassis.
If you're trying to sell a collander with wheels it's going to be less than market value.
IMO of course.
But the difference being we're not talking Ford Focus.Normally when you buy a car, the very least you'd hope for is an MOT & a one piece chassis.

I have to disagree Russ. A fully restored chassis to "Longbow" standard is worth IMHO £5k - £8k more than a similar car. If the Cerb buyer is serious and goes into things with eyes wide open, they'll know that a body-off rebuild is both a hugh expense (£8k+ non DIY) and inevitable eventually due to TVR's neglect in the build process. As a result, I would think that a car of that standard of restoration would be worth quite a bit more. I hope that those who have done the body-off have insured in an agreed value way to cover this too. Normally when you buy a car, the very least you'd hope for is an MOT & a one piece chassis.

A known, recently documented body-off rebuilt car - to a high standard, is IMHO, the most desireable Cerbera out there. At the same time though, having done the work - you'd be mad to let it go at any money!!

The question can be answered by looking at the speed six cars in the classifieds, that have recieved a £7k engine rebuild ?
Are any of them £7K more expensive than cars that haven't had a rebuild ?
Different issue entirely.Are any of them £7K more expensive than cars that haven't had a rebuild ?
the S6 is the less desireable model and not as convincingly resolvable as a basic rust-proofed chassis - rightly or wrongly, there is still doubt in terms of the six. You cannot really doubt proven rust-prevention methods on a properly body-off rebuilt chassis - I believe some of Longbows measures were off-shore oil rig worthy/proven.
