Well chaps and chapesses I've done the thing I thought I would never do - the car has been sold!!!

Still a gutting day nevertheless.

Well today i agreed to buy a new car. It will be loved and cherished as it has been already. Cant wait. The current owner shouldn't worry, its going to a good home.
Yey a TVR at last.

Sorry to hear that people are parting with their pride and joys.

I have decided that my faithful Crystal Topaz Tuscan should go to a new home soon so I will be Tivless for a short while. My MBA has cost me a fortune so I need to knuckle down, find a good job and settle into it. I'm going to hang on to the TUS 373 plate though, as that is just too much a part of me and PHs to sell!!

Good luck with all the new cars chaps.

congratualtions corin. sounds like it was a deal that everyone was happy with as well. good for you - and the new one looks like a beauty.
was selling mine - but the prospective buyer seems not really bothered ( though lord knows the price is keen enough! ).
starting to think about getting the engine overhauled and keeping it now - after all pretty much everything else has been done, with all the miles i've put on it already it won't depreciate any more, and like the markets i guess you only take the 'hit' when you get out so....
dunno. have a tin top now, so won't be racking the miles up like i was, which should reduce overheads, and a chap on another thread had me thinking about engine work. hmm.

Thanks Del! How life treating you, haven't seen you around for a while? I looked at the rebuild route and almost went for the TVR Power stage 1 rebuild followed by a trip to Mark Adams, would have come to about £3k all in all but opted to change the car, not sure if I'm doing the right thing but unless you try you'll never know?

So many people selling TVRs... So Why can't I find one?*

* At the right price, for the right model and convenient to go and look at.
