Both look very nice wedges..I know the 400se was for sale on PH for a while and i could of grabbed it when it first came up for sale before it was advertised..And for 2.5K less!..I bet they got it for under 5K and are milking it big time..Greedy buggers…Ziga

The red 400SE was up for sale for a long time and didn't sell. There were reports at the time that it was a bit shabby. Maybe they bought it cheap and have spent some money on it to improve it's condition. They are asking a high price for it now, but asking is one thing, getting is another. It could be a long wait.

Hi Tony..I hear what you are saying but all they have done is bought it and are now selling..They have done nothing to it…It was only sold for a day before being re-listed..Ziga

They could have at least got the seats done a previous owner really like a good lunch those seats would put anyone off for the sake of £300 to £400 at a trimmers it would be presentable ?

Can't help thinking it was a bargain for what it sold for - despite getting a bit of a kicking on here previously. Just goes to show it's all in the presentation and pics - looks so much better in the dealer pics.

Real shame the owner didn't get the price the dealer's after bearing in mind the circumstances surrounding sale

'the price the dealers after' doesn't mean he's got the price. It could be a long wait and still end up selling it less than the original owner. It's very easy to burn your fingers on a car like this. Not everything that glitters is gold

Brave dealer to sell a "mature" TVR at anything near to the typical private sale price.

[chj]

The dealer will have to account for VAT on the profit margin he makes on the car too.

[TVRIK]

Yeah I sold my 67 BGT for £5400.00 to a dealer,
he has it up for £7995.00
But he needs to turn a profit, he will pay tax on his profit,
He also puts a warranty on it.
And it's not sold at that..yet
So I don't resent it.

There's no doubt if your sure about a car and don't need the comfort of warranty
Private will always be cheaper.

Shows how much they know about TVR's..Watch the video at the bottom and then cringe when they drop the bonnet shut…Joke.

Yep, and he may have to pay VAT AND Tax.

Are we getting our 400SE's mixed up? I thought the one that got the kicking and considered to be in poor condition was this one, that had previously sold at auction: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/tvr-400se-/291004396792?...

There are two bright red 400SE's for sale. As far as I'm aware, one was the guy who also owned and advertised a black 400SE at the same time. Neither sold at that time. That was the one that was said to be a bit shabby. This 400SE which is up for sale at the dealers for 7.5K I believe was the one up north where the wife was selling it because I understood that the husband has passed away. I remember it distinctly because it had the non standard dash and wheels and the side exit exhaust.

Many thanks Tony.
