Banned in Iceland? That's rich considering all the volcanic ash they spewed into the atmosphere in 2010!

Strictly speaking it was the Earth that did that.... It just came out near them.
Still poor form banning TVRs though

Is it the new German laws ? TVR`s are now banned on Iceland .. Felt sorry for a Chimaera owner on facebook ! forced to sell it .

no...just the wife, her ideas about having kids and the practicality of my chimp being our only car.

Strangely enough I was/am thinking about the Cerbera - I don't suppose anyone out there with a Cerb fancies trading for a soft-top?

Just stick 'em in the boot. They will fit in there until they are quite old. It will also train them for working in dark confined spaces ready for when you get them up the chimneys.

Although I can follow your sentiment I'm fairly sure that neither the Icelandic government nor the Icelandic people themselves can be held accountable for geological events...

OK - you've lost me here ...

... still not sure why you're thinking you may have to sell your Tiv?

However you definitely have grounds for divorce based upon either the insanity of your partner or the unreasonable behaviour of your partner depending on which way she wants to go with it - we'll all back you up! An ex of mine made the foolish mistake of uttering the words "It's me or the car..." ... and as the car gave me more pleasure and I could ride it for four weeks a month rather than just three then it was an easy choice.

It's one of those "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" moments ... To my ex it was an ultimatum, to me it was a choice.

Wow, who'd have thought that, 30% drop in 400/430's 60%drop in 500's and 450's just the same,

[Robert Lees]

Do u think owners are holding on to sell till more news comes out about "new" TVR. Don't want to jump ship prematurely. The prices are def rising across all models. I bought my Chim 450 18 months ago for under 8k. I was considering a budget of 10k look at cerberas too. No chance now for 10k.

Add one 400, mines been for sale for last 2 months, not a bit of interest. The scrap yard looms

Wrong time of year. Christmas emptied the wallet, the tax man loometh for all self employed, the weather's ste.
Wait until March or April and try again
