Don't know how many of you peeps have been following the changing face of Joospeed over the last year, but the company is at last tending towards the direction I originally envisaged when I set it up nearly 4 years ago. However it's time for some new investment and the next phase is gonna cost .. a lot.

Determined as ever to do it without borrowing anything from the money-lenders I've decided something has to go, and it ihas to be something big enough to generate a sizeable wedge of cash. Yup the V8S is going up for sale.

I've written an advert for the classifieds section which will go up later and I'll be sorry to see the old girl go, she's been a faithful companion over many a smiley mile and a fabulous replacement for the older 3000M i had before her. In the interim period between this and another late-model TVR in the future I'll be running the Tasmin 280 I bought a year ago but not yet used in anger!! lol.

Anyway fight amongst yourselves .. byeeeeeeeee S people, been great to be among you all.

That's a nicely set up car so I hope its next lucky owner appreciates it. Best of luck with the venture.

You don't actually need both kidneys Jo, I'm sure you could get a good price for a slightly used example in the classified section.

I'm quite upset to hear this. I've had some cracking days out in that car both on and off track (by which I don't mean in the kitty litter - I left that to Joolz! ). Brilliant fun to drive, a proper 'spirit of driving' car.

I'll be sorry to see the old girl go, shame I can't afford a third car

Oh well, onwards and upwards eh Joolz? And I do love that wedge

Hi Rude.. Long time no hear.. One of these days I'll be passing your place at a sensible time (i.e. not 7am Monday when I'm rushing to work or 7pm Friday when I'm trying to get home from work) so I'll drop by and annoy you

The best thing that could have happened to tempt a sale is that the advert after mine is for a V8S for 14 grand it looks nice though ...
