Is this to good to be true?

500 for that price?

[RedCabbage]

I've seen 500s go for less than that but their condition reflected the price.

A through inspection by a specialist is the best way to decide if it is a bargain or just fairly priced considering the condition.

I was considering this Chim, it is a really good example but it was just a bit too far away for me to get to.

Whoa! As a newbie you are learning very quickly!

But he should be learning the truth, not those lies the non-green owners tell.

Green is the fastest..

This one 'looks' tidy but as said, only a thorough inspection will reveal more (but not everything!!). Wheels/engine etc all look/say 500 but why only a standard 400 type badge on the back??

My 97 500 had the same badge. I think the 500 badges are on later models but as with all things TVR nothing is straight forward.

I bought my 450 with 41k on the clock from a specialist private dealer, it seemed and looked sound at the time. It's got 55k on the clock now and is in super condition, done mostly superficial stuff to it and some up-grades, runs awesome all the time, has had almost no problems (knock on wood) and is sweet as a nut. A mate of mine bought a 400 for £6k with 25k on the clock and has had to do a body off to restore the outriggers and other rust problems and now dealing with engine issues. So milage is not the issue, condition is, as every one says, and it's true.

GREEN is for OLD MEN. You want a young vibrant YELLOW!

Dead right Paul, Iam a 104 and my yellow Chim is quicker than any carpet slipper green, nearly 0 to 60 in 4 days, thanks to rain that,s the quickest its done.
Any Chim is a good Chim.
