So there I was this morning, a smile on my face an account full of cash and some ready break.
woohoo
Heading off to see:

EMG Perfomance

and

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/518610.htm

Get on the M25…solid…3 hours to the M4…

Call dealer for car one to tell him I’ll be a bit later than planned…phone cuts off…Called him back and got his voicemail..left a message…two hours no reply.

Rock up at 1:30 instead of 12 and can’t find his garage anywhere based on post code…turns out they are shut and that I wont be able to see the car…I’m on my way to the next.. Properly peed off with the M25…cursecursecurse

Next garage, open, a good start..car there, getting better.

Dealer comes over, tells the usual lies, having done some research readit I call him on what he just told me, he got a little embarrassed. He then proceeded to tell me what bags of turd tivvers were and that I shouldn’t buy this one…I agreed (about not buying his) and left…banghead

All in all a fully cr@p day ending in a undercooked bag of chips in bogner….vomitranting

I guess the moral of the story is don’t bother buying a car on a bank holiday…or eat chips in Bogner

Someone cheer me up and find me a good Tam please

Good luck in the hunt.

Nice colour on the T350. Mystic black and anthracite SP12s. You'll be lucky to find a Tam with that good a combo.

Sorry to hear you have had a bad day

It took me six months to find the right one for me!

Henley TVR have got a moonracker black Tam for sale (bit more than the two you tried to look at)

good luck with the search (IMHO you might struggle for Le Mans)

The first thing the dealer said to me was that he had been offered £16500 that morning and he turned it down. The car has been there since August 2007, I said he was crazy not to take it and told him that it may not be the best greeting for a potential customer. The car in fairness looks like it has been sat there for years. The roof always seems to be off so it is full of leaves and dust and the paint work looks like its been shot at in a driving range. Also he wouldn't start it for me because...its just had new plugs and one is faulty and it's going back to none other than TVR themselves to get fixed... All in all the best thing about going there was leaving. But granted it looks awesome in the pics biggrin

I thought that second one was a bit on the cheap side. Shame about the condition, it does look nice in the pics.
