if you could afford would you buy Chim No2 as investment

[CHIMV8]

As the title,or would you get another model of TVR..

Chim prices seem to be catching up with other models..

[jojackson4]

Yes
And a cerb

[Goaty Bill]

If I could afford three...then maybe.
Need a Cerbera 4.5 in my life first (as well as the current Chimaera)

[zed4]

Yeah, I'd like this as my daily: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/t...

Keep the Chimaera mint.

No, to call it an investment would require some serious man maths. This sort of talk is only used to fool spouses/girlfriends into allowing a tvr purchase.

Been trying to buy a 3000M for over a year now, its been living outside for 3-4 years at least, hasn't moved in all that time, it's a full restoration project, but if I can persuade the lady that owns it to sell it it'll be my next TVR... Resto would have to wait though I'm hoping to buy a garage in need of full restoration in Feb/March..

I have a Cerb (profile pic) as well as a mint Chim.The Cerb has been in storage for 8 months since I bought the Chim.I think its making more money in storage than it would do in the bank.Might put it back on the road in a few months,but i'm loving the Chim.

You know it makes sense

[Alexdaredevils]

No, life's to short to make 20 year investments and 'if you got the money to' why do you need to invest?

A couple say they are,a lot say they are not.

Had my first Cerb in 2002,had it for 5 years and put around 30k miles on it.Only a couple of thing went wrong with it.Clutch,rad and blew the gearbox doing 150.Other than that just services and upgrades.

I'd say yes as they're a properly rare car but as Chilli says that looks a bit strong on price.
