I'm sad to say but that seems about right i got my 03 TVR owned T350c RR with every extra possible for 19k. It had just been serviced at TVR Power as well.

Albeit it has 45000 miles on the clock, which would hit the residule value both ways. £19k was about right..

Hope your enjoying though.. have you tracked her yet to exploit them extra horses..

When was that? good buy for sure.
I paid just shy of 25k with 12,000 miles on the clock, 4 new tyers, tappaets just done. Bought from a main dealer and got 12 months full waranty chucked in. Car, is perfect. didnt think that was a bad buy.

I don't follow you mate, £48,000 was the new price yes.How is getting that car with full tvr service history, full top end engine rebuild to 05 spec all new clutch mechanism include slave/master cylinder brand new clutch and brakes a bad deal.

I'd take mine anyday of the week over a newer one that hasn't had the rebuild / clutch mechanism replaced/upgraded and a clutch that could be on its way out.

Also i let someone else reap the massive depreciation costs as well i'd say i got a bargain.

i bought it in may when there was a big hooha about tvr moving and people being layed off so haggled the guy down from 24k to 22k, was on pistonheads, just had the tappets and 12k service and new rears before i got it so yeh a good deal, private mind so was risky not knowing much about history etc but its been worth it.
