My Chimaera is for sale at moment and have had emails from. Germany , and Holland . I seem to remember someone else sold their Cerb to someone in Europe and Robert/Sottyd old Chim recently went over there as well.

Looks like its becoming more common .

Plenty of TVRss have gone oevrseas recently. I sold my 1972 Tuscan to a french chap who turned up with cash in 2009. Generally an OK procedure.

I sold my Cerb to a German about a month ago.. Sold my S14a 200SX to a guy from France around 5 years ago, and sold my friends Celica to a guy in Malta around 3 years ago! No time wasting either!

Sold my Tuscan 4 weeks ago to a guy from Austria.

He paid the full asking price and didn't try offering stupid low prices like some UK "buyers"!! He paid a 30% deposit by bank transfer within 2 days and cash (cleared by my bank) for the balance when he collected it.

A pleasant hassle free deal.

Pretty much the experience I had selling my G33 to a German. Easiest car sale I have done

Hi, she arrived well recently and the owner is very happy. smile
Seems to be the 4th Tuscan here in Austria.
He lives only over a hill away.

Thanks to all who are willing to selling to us.
Sadly some are refusing strictly to sell to foreigners.

Usually it is real fans buying TVRs on the continent.

I've had a few people interested in mine from overseas. Seems there is a much greater demand for them over there. Do they know something that we don't?

I don't mind who I sell to really, if they are all leaving the country then the new owners are definitely committed to the marque! TVRs are rare in this country these days but never seen in the wider european area.

£1.00 costs less than €1.30 at the moment - it was 15c cheaper this time last year.
