Following all my earlier posts spanning some months now, regarding my 400se sold to me by Brundle TVR, which turned out to be stolen and ringed.

I can happily now report a conclusion to the horrible experience. I have finally had a settlement from Brundle's (only after solicitors became involved), and have repurchased the car from the insurers. The car is now re-registered on its correct 1990 plates and is going back to the factory soon to have the VIN plate and numbers re stamped.

My advice to anyone considering buying a used TVR is (1) : don't go to Brundle's, and (2) : check everything, never trust a dealer (even a main dealer)

One would imagine that you're also quids in if you got settlement then bought the car back.

Double-bubble - nice one!
