I spoke to the ex-owner when I drove there to check out a car colour (I wish I wasn't joking). He has traded it in for a Tamora, as he wanted to go back to a convertible.

Knowledgeable bloke, seemed to know his TVR's, so I'd guess it's a good one.

It was one of the first ones to hit the road when they were released.

HHC sold it as their first Sag.

It's a bit of a bargain, maybe held back by it's colour. I think it has had 4 owners IIRC!?

Quite odd that, I had a converstaion with Tony (the owner) at HHC on Friday - he was suprised no one had bought it at the price he has now reduced it too...I have seen the car, no need to be suspicious, its a genuine car.

As John says no need to be suspicious...I saw the car a week or so ago and it's sound...if you like the red then it's worth a look....looks good in the flesh! I think I know the previous owner, not well, but he has a very good tvr record and looks after his cars.

No not now as buyer pulled out of purchasing one of our houses at the last minute, which was going to fund it.
Plus I am still not sure what to buy.
The head says Sagaris as values seem to be holding/increasing
The kid in me says 4.5 Cerbera + T350

I have just spotted this thread so firstly, let me apologise to you Zoom and anyone else thinking of buying this particular car.

In the words of Jim Carry "It was me!!"

i have bought this particular car as i couldn't understand why such a deal was going untouched. i test drove the car and found it to be sound (apart from the speedometer not working, which i am told is a common fault with the older models). i came to the conclusion that the only thing holding back the value was the colour... so i bought it.

i am a long time PHer and a first time TVR owner, however, despite my age (or lack of) you can be assured that this car has gone to a good home and will be cared for greatly. no silly maneuvers of thrashing will be done. no silly mods or stripes will adorn the bodywork (although the wheels may end up becoming anthracite grey at some point).

i intend to keep this car for a very long time (it most likely won't see the light of day for most of the year) and take the best of care with it. that being said, i am new to TVR's and would welcome any advice or help i can get.

Condolences again, had i seen this thread earlier...

i'd have still bought it cause its a good car tongue out

There's nothing wrong with the colour. Mind you I would say that because mines identical.
It never fails to put a smile on my face and that's all that matters.
Enjoy the car!

thanks for the support, i can't wait to pick it up in July (needed service and MOT before collection, all included in the price)

i have no issue with red, although it may get changed after a few years if it starts to fade. my best mate has an red Integra DC5 that started to turn pink. we mocked him so much he resprayed it in a thicker and deeper red.

on that note, what is the quality of paint on british cars? i have only ever had Japanese which is very thin and tends to chip/mark easily.
