Anyone looking for a Granny Project ?

Just in case anyone on here hasn't seen this and is looking for a Grantura, this looks nice.

It's got a Climax engine as well. Reckon there could be a lot of bidders, especially based on the estimate.

Barn find / full resto projects often sell quickly and for much more than they're worth on paper. Road going examples often are the better buys but don't sell quickly.
There are a lot of dreamers ready to hand over relatively large bundles of cash with massive enthusiasm and the best intentions of doing a project build. Lack of time and knowledge together a realisation of the work involved and the further large bundles of cash required means many cars then sit around in garages, sheds & barns until they're sold on again to another enthusiastic, well intentioned dreamer.
Only a small percentage of project cars end up reaching completion and becoming a road going example. I would hazard a guess that there are at least two classic TVR projects waiting in garages for every one on the road.
In answer to your question :
Option 1 : sit on it until it starts to rot away and needs a rebuild. Then sell it as a barn find.
Option 2 : just use it and enjoy driving, owning and looking at a fantastic car
Option 3 : reduce the asking price until potential buyers start showing interest
Option 4 : as is but just accept it may take a while to find a buyer at the true worth of the car
Sorry that's not much help but it felt good to share the non-sense of classic TVR values
