Hi All
I've been on the lookout for an S Series for about 6 months at this stage. I'm based in Ireland so I need to be reasonably certain about any potential purchase before investing the time and money into viewing. Does anybody have knowledge of G899 TVR currently on eBay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-TVR-280-S-2-LAST-O...
The dealer has confirmed that there is an invoice from Tower View Race Services for outrigger replacements in 2005. However, should I be concerned that it had the following MOT failure in June 19 "Nearside Front Body mounting fixings insecure body to chassis mounting corroded (6.2.2 (c) (i))". This was subsequently addressed and there is an invoice for repair. Is this an indication that the previous chassis work may have to be done again?
My other main concern is that lack of use that the car has had. No MOT from April 2011 to June 2019. The last thing I need is a breakdown on the motorway en route to the ferry....
Any feedback appreciated...
Thanks
Cormac

Yes, deposit taken but it wasn't me. I took the advice given here and contacted Track Vs Road who were very helpful. Unfortunately, while I was waiting for a callback from the seller someone else contacted him and arranged an inspection! I assume they have subsequently put a deposit on the car. Needless to say, I was somewhat annoyed.
Anyway, back to my search. Thanks to all who gave advice.
