Well, I finally went and did it. Due to lack of use, no time to drive and a change in circumstances, my lovely 4.5BV is up for sale in the classifieds.

I know I'll regret it but circumstances dictate.

Open to offers and discussions on this very rare car.

Any advice on selling, also gratefuly recived.

Gotcha: click.

Top dollar, but it's a top car. I was well impressed with it at last year's Growl. A shame you have to move it on but someone's going to get a very nice car indeed. The advert looks good to me, no suggestions. I expect it'll take a while to sell but given the right buyer you should be okay. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks LG! Yep, it's a great car and had stacks of money spent on it. I really don't want to move it on but needs must. I thinks at circa £18,500, it's a stonking car for the money and incredibly rare!

Like you say, it just needs the right buyer who appreciates the rarity and the spec of the standard engine in one of these. I mean, a full house all steel V8 as standard, whohoo!

Yes, I have a full dyno printout from Austec.

In fact, the 4.5BV Griffs produced over 300bhp as standard. That's genuine BHP, not TVR marketing BHP....

Yeah? scratchchin well that was last year, what about the other 3 or 4 wet years? evil

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure your beauty has had a very pampered life. But, its one of those motoring advertising phrases that gets over used and abused by so many people and when go to look at said dry weather only classic, its chassis' rusted to F....!, or the one lady owner from new, who happens to own a fleet hire Co. or the never tracked car thats been thrashed to within an inch of its life.

FFS, what is this, the Spanish inquisition?

The car hasn't been used in the wet for at least 10 years, fact! It has never been to a Growl event, apart from last year and then only on Sunday when it was dry.

Anyone that knows the car can vouch for what a stunner it is and I don't make such claims easily.

lovely car, worth every penny.

Very rare thing nowadays and only going to get rarer.

Shame it has to go, but atleast someone else will get a shot.
