Sold my Chim. Had one final blast round the M25 with the sunburn to remind me of it. Here's hoping work improves and i can soon buy another. Thanks for all your posts and help.
Meanwhile drive safe you guys and enjoy the summer.

you will be back

Yep you will be back. I'm putting my 500 up for sale next week as I
have now purchased an SL55AMG but even before I've sold the TVR I know
I will get another soon. With TVR's I think once you've had one nothing
else gives that same raw pleasure no matter how quick it is ?

I read on the forum quite often that people are selling their TVRs but they come came back later.
What I do not understand is that people spend a lot of time, money and care to keep these cars looking and sounding beautiful so why sell them after all this attention only to buy another and do the same thing again. Would it not make sense to keep the car and save on the future hassle and expense.

If you sell up to move on to another marquee OK but to sell only to come back, it is like divorcing the wife set up with another only to come back to the first wife and remarry…

Please do not shoot me, I am only giving a passing comment.

Sadly unemployment forces me to sell.

I agree with everything you say but it still won't stop me from buying a car
every two years or so spending loads of money on it then fancying a change and starting the whole process over again !!!

Hi Graeme, sorry to hear about your situation, hope that you find something soon… As for buying and selling motors, it would be good for all of us to be the same, the market would dry up.
