Well it wasn't actually mine so to speak.

But spoke to Drew @ Fernies on Thursday about a test drive in a Crystal topaz 500, so nice blat up there today for drive of the beast. Low and behold it's out on a test drive at the mo, here say's Graham go and have a play in this 350! OK I say.
So a nice little play later, I returned to Fernies only to find them putting MY 500 back in the garage SOLD!

Missed the deal... Nice looking car but wasn't to fond or the interior to be perfectly honest.

So have now got Fernies looking for a colour combo that I will like.

I was speaking to Graham later and he mentioned that the buyer was a fellow PH'er

So my question is COME ON WHO DID BUY IT.

Beautiful car BTW.

OH nearly forgot to say to the lurkers.

She can take a (small) commission!!!

BTW Cosmoschick, Don't bother looking at pictures of CT. I found that if you go to a Maldivian island and lay down and stare at the sky for long enough you can nearly get the same effect that CT gives you!

Dear me - I think we caught the culprit!

What impeccable taste (in colour, even if you were a teensy bit misplaced about the right model ) you have!!! Welcome to PH, too!

No Problems, as I said beautiful car, very clean and tidy. The interior whilst superb was just a little too blue for me, but never the less stunning.

Enjoy and take it easy if it's your first Tiv, If you don't respect it it will BITE big time. OH

Happy motoring.

It's the long wait now, and we’ve all been there.

Thanks Beano... have to be quick when you see the right one ;-)

PS: Thinking of getting an independent inspection done though for peace of mind (as first TVR). Previously looked at a car from another dealer where the inspection brought something up which I didn't want to life with... although I hope Fernies wouldn't sell a car with unpleasant surprises??

Then I cannot recommend David Batty at "The Garage" near Guildford highly enough. I would have every confidence in Fernies mind, but you cannot do better than the Battyman for a real in depth understanding of what makes these cars tick...


(...or actually making them NOT tick, you don't want one that ticks, no sirree, in fact if it ticks I'd be a bit worried, best to chose a TVR of the non-ticking variety, well perhaps except for the clock, you'd probably want the clock to tick, except you won't hear it over the roar of the exhaust anyway, so if anything is actually audibly ticking over and beyond the noise of the exhaust and any screams from the passenger seat......)

You can be fairly sure that if there's a problem Fernhurst won't run away from you.

THEY WON'T don't just take my word for it, you can ask anybody that has had dealings with them.

I brought mine from them over two years ago, and I'm now buying my next! OR I WAS till you brought it!

Thumbs up for Fernies. I bought my first TVR from them recently. Top blokes who offer decent, honest advice.

Also had some work done under warranty and true to form they took care of the whole lot.

Highly recommended......
