Just bought my first Chim from Bespoke Performance www.bespokeperformance.co.uk - they have a 2001 5.0 with flared in headlamps and under 30k miles. Bespoke performance are a TVR dealer for 20 years and are very knowledgeable. You will pay top dollar but their cars are first class. They are based in Ware Herfordshire.

Right, well we drove a 450 and the Red 500 linked above at Fernhurst.

We are definitely going to hold out for a 500!

The only issue with the Red one is the price. The carpets have faded a bit in the direction of pink, which they would change in the price, but the price I'm finding a little steep even with the great prep/service and aftersales I know Ferny's would give.

Thanks chap - see my other post. Deal done with Ferny's (who are very local to me).

No complaints with them so far.
