Based on your very useful description I'd say it could be quite a good one, then again it could be a bad one.... so somewhere in the middle would be a good guess...


and as for value, id say average... Not high and not low....again somewhere in the middle

See if he'll accept 25k and "bite his hand off" if he does.

or not to cheap?

Give the bloke a break.

Somewhere between £4.5 & £12k would be there or thereabouts

Don't forget it's almost Christmas so values are a little flatter this time of year

I fetched my current TVR on 24th December one year...it still seemed expensive to me!

It's a real difficult call. The £4.5k to £12k is about right depending on condition, especially the chassis.

Colour doesn't make much difference, all are manual unless specially converted.

[peaktorque]

Pictures would help, as would any info on chassis status.

Mileage means F all on these cars.

If you want help from people then accept that you need to exert yourself a little. No one could possibly answer your question based on the basic information you gave.

[swisstoni]

OP, strange question really, 'Are they any good?'
On the Chimaera forum?

Have a look at Fernhurst TVR dealers website to see what good ones go for retail and then work it out from there.

Give the guy a break fellas, were renowned as a helpful lot

Take a look in the classifieds and you will soon get an idea of the going rate. Always buy on condition not year and mileage. A link would help if you want opinions. Good luck
