looks good, but a lot has been changed to it, dash,lots of repair and so little miles ????.


is this a fair price for it ?

What's going on with thw paint on the targa in photo 2? Has it been badly partially resprayed?

[jv79]

pleased you spotted this

[over_the_hill]

28000 miles on a 5 year old TVR seems reasonable. It has been used.

[jv79]

what do you think of price ??

[hiltonig]

too much !!

[Columbo]

whoever put that electric blue steering wheel on it wants bloody shooting

what are they worth this is a S verison too

[dvs_dave]

There aren't that many genuine Mk1 S's about. Lots of lookalikes though. I reckon that price is about right for a good sorted one.

i have asked about the discolouring on photo 2 and seller said it came like that from new, i have done a hpi on the car and all comes back ok.

22k is a lot of money.. how can you tell if its genuine mk1 S version ??

[grumbledoak]

Don't know the car personally, so this is only IMO (some already said):

Paint on targa roof is odd
Steering wheel is wrong
Wheels are very wrong
Mileage about right

Price-wise, not so far off. E.g.

Lots of performance for the money. You might want Ingleby or Agger to check her over professionally, or maybe a 'friendly'* PHer with a Tuscan ?

Maybe, but remember the guy selling the car is not the first owner so it may not be true.Also would you accept a brand new car looking like that?
What would put me off is the way the advert after a brief description just turns into a promo advert for the tuscan S in general. Just IMO of course.
