My Chim and I are to seperate after 3 happy years.

Any advice on where to advertise - other than the classifieds on Pistonheads of course

I put mine on Autotrader, but I have to say that I only got 2 genuine callers out of around 10, and that was after a whole host of calls from PH. I got the most calls from PH.

Had my Chim on Auto trader for ages. I've had so many dodgy emails from abroad its untrue. Two generally interested people have been to look at it but i think the awsome noise scared them off. The only person who will be interested in my car will have to be complete Petrol Head who has no consideration for there neighbours or the general publics hearing. Price has gone up to £1,000,000 for quick sale

I recently sold mine through Autotrader, although PH ads seem to produce a number of good enquiries, and I sold my previous TVR that way.

Can't believe the dirty Nigerian con men trying to get me to agree to taking more than the car is worth by about five grand and then me sending them a cheque for the difference. How stupid do they think i am???

I sold one TVR at the Bromley Motor Pageant.
(Classic car show in Outer London. They put an add in the sponsor's classic car mag if you fail to sell at the show too.)At least you have access to a lot of car nuts there.
I sold my old XR4x4 through ebay. Turned out fine but I suspect that the difference in value between my car and TVRs meant I wasn't exposed to the con-men.
I bought two TVRs through Sprint.

Anyone ever had any success selling their Chim on Ebay?

I see a lot of TVRs where they either don't reach the reserve or the auction ends early as the highest offer (no reserve) in tuppence.

Always wondered if people manage to sell after the auction to people who contacted them while it was on.
