[mrmop]

Hi all, interloper from the Cerbera forum, I am considering getting a newer TVR and whilst trawling around I found this car for sale on e bay, looks stunning to me and very good value, what do you think ?

Cheers in advance.

Looks stunning to me. Not sure about the alloys I prefer spiders. at 30k a bargain.

[lady topaz]

Looks stunning and a bargain at that price. Didnt read it all but presume it would come with a dealer warranty.

Interesting. This looks very much like a "new" "2007" Tuscan, with new non-spider alloys -Racing green currently have a very similar one. Very good interior spec as well although some of the options incorrect. This price does appear ludicrously low - I suppose the cynic in me asks why, unless you genuinely are getting the deal of the year! Hmmm....

It does look a bargain I agree, and look stunning with the blue hood.

The discription and standard features is totally incorrect unsless Tuscan's now have ESP,ABS, parking sensors,
electric seats etc etc.

I am very tempted to go a have a look.

I assume TVR 3year warranty is now useless ?

Your comments are usful

Nice car in a decent colour combo, fully loaded by the looks of things, 19" alloys?, Air con and the desirable close ratio box, i.e 60mph 1st gear and 100 mph 2nd I would get a definitive answer on the warranty situation for peace of mind, Apart from outright acceleration, the later "T" cars are in a different leauge to the Cerb.
Go for it mate, [del boy] you know it makes sense [del boy]

Fantastic bargain at that price, and i quite like those wheels too. Only slight concern is that it's not listed on the Stoneacre website anywhere, so if you're interested it would be worth a phone call to check if they are offering it with all their dealer support, and to check that it's not a scam. There was a similar 2007 spec car being offered elsewhere not that long ago.

If it's honest, buy it, they really are a classic TVR, a modern Griffith

[V8 Devil]

It was advertised on Pistonheads recently by Wigan motorsports, I think at around £40000. I can't see it advertised anywhere else. Very tempting at that price. I have heard of virtual showroom but there 0 sales or purchases on ebay looks dodgy.

[mrmop]

Hi Tony,you are doing the rounds on the forum's.hope the car is going well, roof down soon !

I modern day Griffith, great discription.

Getting very tempted ( anyone fancy a stunning white Cerbera !!!)

I noticed the zero feed back also.

I'd be very suspicious - this car was up for sale on autotrader not long ago for mid 40's if i remember rightly, advertised as a new 07 car. I've just had a look on autotrader and it's not there, but i'm pretty sure it was being sold through a dealer.

[The Surveyor]

It may be a totally different car though, this one has a 56 reg plate, it's not a 2007 car. Racing Green had a darker blue (Laser Blue) Tuscan 'vert with the later sparco seats and these wheels, advertised as a '2007 spec' car.

Stoneacre are a big car dealer, and may actually have it to sell, or somebody may be using their name as a cover. Simple phone call to their Shorp branch would sort it out if you were interested, and avoids the Ebay issues too. £30k for that car is a very good deal in anybody's money.

[Blue Burner]

Looks fantastic and a great deal but then could be biased

[Tonto]

Looks very nice. I could be interested. Might take a trip over there on Saturday.
Thanks for bringing in to my attention!

[Tonto]

Only joking

Looks a hell of a bargin.

Ah Ah, really made my night for a moment then.

Good looking car though.

Tried to contact dealer, sent an e mail waiting for response.

Will let you all know

I tried phoning the number on ebay and no answer, left a message and they have not got back to me, the saying if it is too good to be true it probably is comes to mind, whether this is a scam of some sort remains to be seen.

a 56 plate can still be a 2007 car - any car registered between Jan and March will be 56 plate in 2007, and they were making the '2007 cars' in 2006. I'd still be suspicious.

I like lots of other people saw this for sale at mid £40k only a couple of weeks ago. The dealership listed has no branch where this car is being advertised from, there is also no decent landline tel or Ltd company number registered at companies house for this"firm".

On top of that the description is plainly incorrect, only thing this ad is missing is Mr Undugo`s link in Nigeria.
