Hi

I have been watching that one for a while (3 Months).There was a guy on here
who went to see it,along with another Griff he was looking at.The impression i got was they weren't too bothered in selling it.They will now probably sit
on it and wait for the Sunny weather .Sorry I can't find the thread about that car ,the Search function is a bit slow .(well on my PC).Good Luck.

ETA:The Blue one

Hi Alan,

I am that guy....

The blue 4.3 didn't seem a bad car but it was badly prepared, covered in salt and road dirt and wouldn't start went I went to view it. I had cash in my pocket, had made an appointment and couldn't believe their appalling lack of preparation. They even broke the wing mirror off when trying to get it out of the showroom.

It had a new hood fitted the day before I went to see it and apart from a few scratches and starring to the rear wing, the body was in OK condition.

Wheels were scruffy, chassis was OK ish, lots of flaking paint but looked solid, interior was Ok too.

It would be a very good buy at £9.5 IMHO.

Great news Alan, get them wheels changed, and don`t worry to much about the Diff whine, my old Chim whined for 2 years, i suppose it depends on how noisey it is? Pop round for a listen.
We must gather the troops for a run outdriving,not that there are many left hehe X-Mas was the last one eek

"slight" was the disciption from the present owner, I haven't actually seen it yet :0, bought it over the phone smile
Looks good though, need to change the OZ split rim wheels (can't stand them)I have a set of 5 spoke pre cat 's to go on when they have been refurbed.It come with a "TVR" number plate which is a bonus as my own reg is to young (1994) to go on it.Hopefully the 400's performance won't be a let down after the previous cars.Any bets on the first mod?
