I see H&M now have one up for £33k: http://pistonheads.com/sales/3634605.htm

Fernies seem to be selling late cars for £30k now, seems values are going up potentially!

One thing with the H&M car is the seats, I thought all late cars had Tuscan seats? I guess this 2007 car wasn't factory finished anyway?

Looks like my old one up for sale again (was at Fernies late last year)

If it is then the seats are factory

Would prefer the seats that are in it, Tuscan seats are rubbish IMO, hence why I got rid of mine for the Sparcos.

Good to see the values of T350s strengthening though, they deserve to be much higher, great cars but for some reason undervalued again IMO.

Would be interested to know what the chassis number is on this one as i guess it was not manufactured by the factory in 2006/7.
My old T350T was a 2006 register but built late 2004, however it did have the luxury f going back to the factory for a few mods under warranty just 3-4 weeks before they closed.

Glad to see their prices holding firm.

I bought it new from Drivestyle in Sep 2007, they told me it was a 2005 car that had been stored somewhere as an asset from the factory closure. (Although Drivestyle told me many things, most were not true)

When I got my car, the lads that sold it to me, said that this was the 3rd time they had re-homed her each time for 2k more than the last. Nice to see a car I own go up for once.

Griff is running well thanks and had a good laugh at the NW activity day last month.

It is in to have a suspension refresh next month so hopefully ready in time for some Spring runs.

Here are the figures for 2003 T350's that have been offered for sale since July 2010:

July 2010: Average mileage: 30,000. Average Price was: £19,705.

Prices have increased steadily since 2010. The latest averages are as follows:

February 2012: Average Mileage: 28,146. Average Price is £21,513. Thats an increase of approx 8.5%.

This may give an indication of how prices are holding up / increasing. By the way, I have excluded Cat D type vehicles from these calculations as they skew the averages.

Cheers. BB.

Tamora top end prices have fallen, while the bottom end have risen over the last 2 years, but convertible prices fluctuate season by season so expect in May a rise in prices. Will a Tamora ever reach £30K again!???

Am I alone in wondering how TVRs in the above stats get older but their mileages go down.

Yes I agree that is confusing; until you know that the July 2010 average mileage figure calculations included one car that had 43,000 miles on the clock!

It was meant as a tongue in cheek comment but it does appear as if more and more of them seem to do very few miles.

But even if we take it seriously then your figures for 2010 are skewed by a car that has done a massive 6100 miles a year. Come on guys get out there and use them for that which they were built for, driving. TVR produced a great value drivers vehicle and they seem to sit in garages.
