Is this the same car that supposedly sold to a German collector just recently? Or is it another. Looks quite neat though. Good price too.

Nice car, great price. Somebody will have a bargain. Can never understand when 400's seem to sell so cheap. sonar

God thats cheap. Either after a quick sale or something wrong.When are these cars going to get the appreciation they deserve?

If I were selling a car and had multiple interested parties, I would be contacting them again if a sale fell through.

You can buy cheap cars.

You can buy good cars.

You can't buy cheap, good cars.

The fact that it Is still for sale and the last sale fell though leads me to think which camp this car belongs to.

Well, I am The German tank driver, no collector though, just an enthusiast. I wanted the car since I am a huge RV8 fan and a TVR CC UK and German club member at the same time. Had a few Tivs recently and always fancied something a bit stronger than the 350i.
Anyway, it might be a good buy for someone, but do your homework and have a closer look. Since I intended to drive it home, there is no sense in buying a car that cannot cover 600 miles straight away, I did not buy it. Dave is a top man to deal with, so if you are interested, do not hesitate. Just go into the deal with open eyes, there is work to do.

All the best,
Long term PHer Björn.

I wonder why it won't make 600 miles? Engine? Gearbox? Brakes? Depending on what's wrong, anything can be put right. It has been priced fairly, so it makes sense. I guess it'd suit someone that doesn't mind doing the work, as long as it's cost effective.

That's Wyn , who else would do such a thing, especially after waiting so long for another Wedge , maybe the SEAC dream has to wait a little longer. Well done though Wyn, a TVR is a TVR. sonar

So that would mean the paperwork / ownership has been corrected and the car is legitimately able to be sold?
