I have a TVR S1 which i have had for a few years now. I originally bought the car off my dad and was going to replace the outriggers etc and get it back on the road.
Sadly i have not been able to do anything apart from get the car running again.
I need to sell the TVR as we are moving into a flat in the next month or so and was wondering how much the car may be worth still needing the work doing.
I have some photos of all of the underside which i will upload asap.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Try ebay? The highest bidder will tell you what the market will pay.
A well sorted S1 goes for £5k and up, depending on condition. If I was in the market for a fixer-upper, I'd start at £5k and subtract the costs associated with sorting it out. So, outriggers, interior spruce up, front indicator (£££), anything the engine and drivetrain may need, any paint, hood if needed and so on. Without more info it's impossible to say what figure to put on the car. Then you need to find a buyer for a project car, which are pretty scarce unless you give it away.
That's why I would try ebay - unbeatable market coverage and you will know at the end of the auction what it's worth.

Hi Rob, if you let the forum know where you live you might find someone close enough to have a look at it for you. Or even someone knowledgeable enough to give you a fair offer.
With a full description then I agree ebay is the only real option if you want to find someone who will take on a project. Value is extremely difficult to predict as it depends so much on exactly what needs to be done. Major chassis repairs are not for the faint hearted. I paid just £1600 for mine, admittedly a couple of years ago, for a tatty non runner but with a sound chassis. Agreed value now is £4000.
The pictures you promise may help get a better idea but they will need to include chassis pics.
