AS it says really. Wasnt in as many articles as L110 BFV but still a one of the few used for press etc. Should think it would be a good Buy at that price with its history.

saw it a couple of months ago and have managed to convince the wife that her new car can wait (erm...)
priority is a 2 seater sports car before the kids come along!

currently have a 300zx so in grand scheme of things prob not a whole lot more impracticle!

the only thing im kinda put off is the kinda 'pink' colour!
would it be sacrilidge to repaint this car something more bloke ish?!

I always take it as a sign it's a good'un - otherwise it wouldn't have been capable of racking up that kind of mileage...

In general and for various reasons, the high milers always seem to drive a lot better than the 'only out the garage on sunny Sunday afternoons, seen more polish than fluid changes' brigade... That, and it's a lot more straightforward to replace or rebuild worn items than to chase after silly problems that may have been there from day 1 but the prior owner haven't been *rsed to sort - if (s)he'd ever noticed on said Sunday afternoon potter...

That would be a shame imho since it was used as a press car and as such has a place in TVR history

Buy it and restore it PLEASE!
Personally i wouldn't change the colour,as it is very much it's identity,but that would certainly be your call if you own it.

well went down today to take a look and the damn thing sold yesterday!

so instead i took out a chimp. very nice n all that but would always be 2nd choice so with heavy heart i walked away.

the salesman has my details so hopefully will give me a call when they get something suitable in.
