What do you guys think of this?

As some may know, I'm in the process of replacing my (non-fault) written-off Chimaera and, as part of that process, I have been obliged by my insurers to prove that my car is worth more than the paltry sum their 'engineer' offered me (he couldn't even pronounce the name of the vehicle).

Anyway, as part of that enquiry, I stumbled across this:

Yes, it's overpriced for year and mileage, has an unrealistic indicated BHP- and I do hope the seller is joking about having a 'dry engine'- but what struck me was the body colour.

I can't remember seeing a gold TVR before (in solid paint) and I think it looks really nice. What do you think?
I'm expecting a very divided response TBH- perhaps that's why the ad is over 3 months old

Did it previously belong to Goldmember?

Out of interest how much have they offered you and what year/mileage was yours?
I put my 97 400 with 62k miles up for £9250 and sold it on Saturday for £8750 which I thought was a pretty good deal. Not sure if this helps your case at all?

I can see why they only painted one in that colour ..

There was one that was done as an orginal chim press car, Dorothy Cureton had it as her runabout for a while, now has been owned by a couple based in the NW for many many years.

Looks better in the flesh than in pics.

And I had Dot down as a lady of good taste for her Cureton Green

Zippee, my car is/was a late 95 M with 88k miles. Sorry but I can't say what they've offered on here as it may jeopordise the result (the appointed engineer told me he views P'heads and I don't want to attract responses from one or two who may agree with him!)

Tomorrow I send off the full service history, V5, original receipt (£12.5k), MOT etc along with print outs of many Chimaeras of similar spec being advertised for at least £3-5k more than being offered by a bloke who really knows nothing about these cars.

Meanwhile, I do have my eye on a couple of possible replacements- and, no, it won't be gold.
