frown Just posted a new ad in the classifieds for my Tuscan - circumstances dictate that the time has come for her to go to a new owner....

Shame really as she's running better now than ever and I'd dearly love to be able to keep hold of her but....

Thanks to all on here for the invaluable help over the years, I've had some fantastic times and will carry a lot of great memories with me forever. Who knows, maybe in a year or two I might be able to return to the fold!

Thanks for all the fish,

Andy

I know, I know....what can I say, needs must I'm afraid. Not sure what I'll end up getting but will need to get a runabout for a little while before I look into anything more exciting,

Will definitely miss the tunnels!!

Lovely Car Andy,

Not that im biased wink

Hopefully you will be back soon - nothing can quite fill the gap a TVR leaves - been there and done it, I know how you feel.

All the best with a quick sale, its well worth what your asking,

Rob smile

Cheers Robert, I know I'm going to be gutted seeing her drive off away from me when she does sell.....I reckon we fall in love with these cars due to the attention we need to give them and the various foibles we need to overcome as owners. They're not perfect but I think that's the exact reason such a close "bond" is created between owner and car!

Ah shame Andy, good luck with selling it, I'm sure it will be snapped up quickly as a well looked after car.

Good luck with things, and remember you can always buy another one in the future!

cheers

Don't despair - plenty of cheap fun things out there to get you by. Just picked up a mint 172 for £3.5k, lots of fun!

I think the pricing's pretty much spot on, if you read through and see how much work has been done on the car it would give a buyer confidence that it has been cared for and not wanted for anything.
