I believe there is such a thing as a cheap Chim, espec in this economic climate and if you buy from a garage who have taken as PX.
I am picking mine up today (yeaaahhh!!), full history etc really great and i managed to knock them down £2 to get it off their forecourt.
It is really worth reading up on how to haggle and just be ballsey!!

i picked my 5ltr up recently for £8500 and its been perfect, full history etc... but what mchenryg said about the econonic climate is true. the price of petrol is thru the roof for the high octane stuff, so people just want to get rid of their fast gas guzzeling cars rather than just wait and hold out till the price drop. you should praise the people who hold on to these types of cars and to the people who are still buying them.

Can someone please buy it and post on here which it turned out to be
Definitely not scam. Car was used as follows http://www.gtclassictouring.co.uk/ 'cause I intended to hire it for a day or two last year but never got round to it.Can someone please buy it and post on here which it turned out to be
It's now for sale. I am hoping to check it out next week if it has not already been snapped up!! I think it's a bargain, and hopefully not a "dog" which would mean a long wasted journey for me!

Yeah guess so. But it's not exactly Avis is it! And just how many customers took the car out is another matter. Not that many I would think, bit of a niche market, and from reading the PH forum it seems that one of the best ways to keep a chim on song is to use it rather than store it! If only it was a bit closer to Bristol!

One of THE most important things to do with a TVR is to warm her up before putting your foot down. Is any hirer going to bother doing that? Is the hire company going to have bothered with chassis treatment?
Personally I'd rather spend a couple of grand more and get one I know has been cared for. Like mine when she comes up for sale late this month

I cant see what the price is, as on my computer, the first figure is a ?.Would someone care to enlighten me?
There are bargains to be had out there if you're prepared to go check them out.
I went to look at a '99 450 advertised on eBay with a ridiculously low 'Buy It Now' price. The car was 200 miles away, I turned up unknown in a white Transit and was allowed to test drive it alone! I bought the car and 30,000 miles and more than three years later it's still worth what I paid then. Have a look here at what was said about the car at the time (the one that gf350 provided a link to eBay for).
I'm a believer in 'if it looks too good to be true it probably is', but it's better to go find out than always wonder 'what if?'.
