Possible scam ad
Discussion
The classified sections of Pistonheads have been playing up for days. I've been unable to display many sections, particularly anything in the TVR area. 
I hope it's sorted now so I can check it.
Nope. Chimaera listings returned as a blank page.

You beat me to it...
I noticed this a few hrs ago,was going to include the number plate in the title of the topic so it draws attention to who's car it is.
I looked up on the dvla mot site thingy and it's showing the same mileage in the advert as 12 months ago(MOT expired end Feb) In fact it's mot history is all a bit strange. (Definitely a Scam)
The one in Devon could be a genuine advert,he just hasn't been keeping up with the TVR price jump,either that or the outriggers/chassis are in need of work. Bit of a strange advert though (No dents) and the waffle about deposits etc etc makes it all look a bit odd. A clean car of that age and mileage is worth more than £7,995.

PS
Regarding the Devon one @ £7,995,just entered the details of that one and the mot also expired 16th Feb,the previous mot is showing 39,187. So that means it's a car that has not be used in 12 months(Which is Possible) But no mention of this in the add,and the lack of any details entered in the info section again all looks odd to me.
T588 AJW ... If it is a genuine add you may want to take 10mins to re-word it

Already tried that. Deleted cache and history too. I raised the issue in the PH Lab thread of general gassing and 'Dom PH' replied that they've been having issued with the TVR section. I still can't display any TVR cars for sale. Other makes yes. 
Sometimes we forget the most obvious,so thought i'd just mention it.
I looked in the "Web feedback" thread and it seems you're not alone with problems,mine for sometime now often looses all the username column or sometimes i just get ------------- down the page. I exit the page and reload seems to do the trick. Can't think that I've ever experienced any difficulties in the classifieds section,does seem odd yours is the TVR section only. Maybe it's a curse to stop you spending.
