waste of time really... the car isn't mint, it's not "bad" but the bottoms of the rear arches are gone, the passenger door needs replacing and it has two dents. one on the drivers front wing, one on the drivers rear wing... then loads of little scrapes all over. its listed as being seemed welded round the turrets... fair from it.

it has the parts, car goes well enough 16sv engine, but guy was ?1k... wouldn't even take ?800.

he's not going to let the auction run, he's going to pull it if it doesn't make ?1k.

so some bloke took the interior out & suddenly its a racing car??????

[blackjack]

looks cack...... sounds cack....... and he's asking far too much

[mowgli]

let me ask you this, if he only did one track day in it, why didn't he go to bruntingthorpe which is less than 5 miles away????

[Mike.]

he asking far to much for it, yeah the car looks clean but no way worth a grand

[chimp007_uk]

he didint do the work, he took it in part exchange...

the shell isnt clean. i thought it looked good from the pics and the guy assured me it was mint but its far from it!

i was looking at it for the parts, but the exhaust was a bodge and the engine went well, but was no gte!

shame...
had it up for ?1500, then ?1200 and now ?1000... hmmmmmmm... what a prick

[meritlover]

man is what we call a dreamer.

"ive spent ?XXXX on a car to build it therfore its finnished value is automatically the same"

sorry it doesnt work like that.

No 16sv is going to scare a TVR unless its in the middle of the road when it comes round the corner and crashes into it.

[meritlover]

it was probably rainy and or icy at the time and the TVR was scared to accellerate.

[Philsutton]

or it was parked on someones drive

[meritlover]

or it was a rediculous over taking manouver.

[H15 NVA]

or TVR had broken down. silly me, Trevors never breakdown, what was i thinking!!!

[chimp007_uk]

lol he had a griffith 500 apparently... but as far as car dealers go, if he expected to get ?1500 for it originally and he wont let it go for any less that ?1000

you have to ask... does he sell many cars?

[craig green]

Looks a bit of a shed to me, esp the pic showing the open door into interior.

I'd be ashamed to show it off esp if it was for sale, its one thing having a stripped out car but to offer it for sale is amusing.

Slap the trim back in & save face IMO.

[edit] anyone that describes cars like 100bhp Novas & Saxo's etc as 'fast' or 'rapid' clearly flaunt the fact they have never been in a genuinely 'rapid' vehicle...... end of.
