Dear All,
Just a little bit of a shock today when I opened an email from Lynette Woods-Reynolds of Platinum Supercars in Cyprus.
She says "....two 10yr old, zero mile TVRs have just been found in a bonded warehouse. They've not even been PDI'd or had the VAT paid. We are getting them on the road for our client (or into a bubble in his collection)....."
They are 4.2s apparently.
Looks like somebody's Christmas present has arrived later than expected.

I love warehouse/ barn finds.... my Cerb was a barn find, but it had a few more than zero miles on the clock, and the air intakes were filled with pellets and empty shot gun cartridges ( Thats farmers kids for ya
)
Email her back and ask if she will post piccys

......then i could put my car in it......and take it to bits in complete comfort 
why o why do people do this 0 miles that is just mad....even in my world 
Just heard that we can have access to the bonded warehouse late next week (we were hoping to sort it for this week). We will collect both cars & bring them to the workshop to assess their state!
I will report back with pictures & will be keeping my eyes peeled for any other treasures lurking under an inch of dust!!

It’s the wrong forum Gromit!
Finally – we’ve just been to see the 2 Cerbera’s at the bonded warehouse & it transpires I’m on the wrong forum. They’re not Cerbies, they’re Chimera’s!! Brand new, covered in dust, fired up first time. One of them looks pristine, the other has a torn rear window & as a consequence, has suffered a bit of cosmetic damage due to short term water ingress (apparently they pushed it outside a few weeks ago). Both have had the gear knobs nicked!
Both have power steering, air con, Km clocks & according to the plates were made for Malaysia (which I presume is why they are factory fitted with a/c). I’m currently waiting to see paperwork to fill the gaps in the story of these 2 babies.
007 has 232 Kms
005 has 233 Kms
We are now applying for temporary release from the bonded so we can get them on the ramp & carry out a proper inspection for our customer.
Right, I’m off to the Chimera forum now.......
PS – also spotted at the warehouse, a V8 Morgan & a Delorean!! What an Aladdins cave, they almost had to throw us out !!
The Morgan, for those interested!

, seeing as I'm married to him....)No, as far as i know, they are still in storage. VAT chargeable at the price of the car when new needs paying before they can be released from the bonded warehouse. The way the economy is there now, it's likely they will see their final days out in that warehouse. Luckily, we closed the garage out in Cyprus and came back before it all went totaly to rats s**t!!
