Hi all,

Some years ago I had a great 1997 4.2, loved it to bits but had to let her go when I needed to get myself in to a house. Now I am in said house, I find myself owning my own consultancy business and doing ok out of it and I was wondering if I should get another Cerbera.

Then I wondered if I could run it through my business, which is a limited company I own 100%. I don't do great milage, heathrow every couple of months ANS the odd trip to Luton, I live in Chelmsford. I expect my annual milage would be about 6,000.

So, I'm looking at a post 1998 V8, with standard lights, not blended I want pods!

Does anyone have any experience of running a TVR through a business, TAX implications for example?

It will cost you a fortune to run through the co as your tax is based on its new value etc...
Personally I just buy my cars and dont put them through the co. It is really a question for your accountant?

Yep, thought that was the case, but I'm on holiday and I thought I'll ask the question. I suspect it will be a private car @45p/mile

I did it until the accountant found out. We now have to do a milage sheet every month and the rest has to be part of the dividend payment.

No way round it frown

Not sure where it is now, rumours it went up in smoke

I loved your car, top of my list, with Longbow's just behind. Currently thinking about V8 OOMF
