Is that a split pipe on the grey one?

strange...
they say unregistered but from 2001?

but then those rear lights look from an older type, also some other things, if you would say its a type say from 1997, I would believe it also.

see more pictures on their website.

interesting that the grey one has a repainted chassis (inc. all bolts and nuts), wrinkled leather on the drivers-seat and a ripped out loudspeaker at the drivers door.

by the way: could such an "old" car be registered today without interfeering with the emission-laws?

It will still qualify under the same 'small volume manufacturer' legislation that TVR did.

definately malaysian build spec, with high level brake light and number plate recess.
how does an unregistered car (grey one) get several thousand miles of wear on its rear tyres?

I'm no expert on model variations but wouldn't a very late example have faired in lights? Also, why is the speaker missing from the driver's door? scratchchin

Also the dark blue one has the earlier push button door entry on the quarter panel.
These cars will not sell for that kind of money. No way near in fact.
Nice cars, but all they are, are very low mileage 2001 cars. Well, when I say 2001.....

Not worth 30k IMHO

Did I see a thread on these - they were hardly nicely stored - covered in dust and not well looked after.

Still ultimately 10+ year old rubber etc, and as others have pointed out, seem to have done some driving too.

I'd rather have a used well maintained low mileage example (with a 4.5 or 5.0!) thanks!
