Possible Purchase

[Geo22]

Hi guys, I'm new to TVR's so looking for a bit of advice. I've been offered the below car in exchange for my 68 Mustang. I appreciate this is completely different car and I'm fully aware of that.

I just wondered really if any knows the car and can offer any useful info on it. I'd be interested to know what people think the values of Griffs are likely to do over the coming years, I'm not looking for an investment but I'll be taking a bit of hit on my Mustang so would be nice to know the value would increase and make that up. The car in question does have a bit of paint damage on the front end which I've read is pretty common also has a small rip in the passenger seat doesn't look major or an expensive repair. Last question is about the colour, silver is not my first choice and I wondered if that was shared by anyone else. Does it hurt the car or is it a popular colour?

Any other advice is more than welcome.

From what the seller has told me its solid underneath and has very good history with all the bills and receipts...etc

Keep the Mustang

I love my Mustang but I've had it 3 years and just fancy something a bit newer, faster, better handing and manual.
I've got other American cars so its time for Mustang to go.

Thanks for the advice guys, I've decided not to go for this particular car.

I'm going to sell my Mustang and then go on the car hunt. Not sure if I will end up with a TVR but I'll enjoy the process.

Geo, ive PM'd you.

My Griff is for Sale at Velvis Cars. They are true petrol heads (principle owns a Griff for his sins) so they should be able to accommodate a good price on the Mustang. Worth calling them for to see what they can do.

Thanks mate lovely car but I'm not looking to put any money in on the deal so doubt it will happen. I've got the Mustang for sale at the moment so if it sells I'll go shopping if not then I'll just have to keep it... It's a hard life!

Just been looking at 68 Mustangs, beautiful cars, I'd be thinking twice about this if I were you, Griff and Mustang? They are the sort of thingsI I couldn't really choose between, it's a situation where owning both is the only viable option! A Steinway Model D, or a Bosendorfer Imperial? Two of the worlds best pianos, and sound beautiful in their own way, again, you'd have to have both.
But this doesn't help you in any way I know!

Yeah they are great cars and I'll be sad to see it go but I fancy something a bit more driver focused. The old Mustangs are a lot of fun but not what you would call drivers cars.
