Sold it - How do I explain this one?
Discussion
I always said I'd never do it - and now I've gone and sold my faithful S3C. Now I've got to go and tell my better half what I've done.
Its all her fault really (and John Bull's noisy exhaust last Sunday) as she always said the TVR wasn't practical enough with 3 kids, and that I should trade it for a BMW convertible or a Triumph Stag (V8 burble and 4 seats, always seemed the sensible option).
If I'm not in plaster for the next six weeks I'll let you know how I get on.

That was quick! John,
I can't believe you have sold your S3C. I am sorry my exhaust had such an effect on you, I'll get it changed tomorrow (well on second thoughts....I think I'll keep it
)
I am sorry that you sold your car and do hope you get something, at least as nice, as a replacement.

Guys,
I don't deserve sympathy, the post was for moral support to explain the replacement to the wife. I had no intention of changing it on Sunday, it was all rather quick but I picked up on the car on Tuesday from one of Apache's posts (good old PistonHeads) and tracked it down on Thursday.
Instead of buying a new exhaust, I've traded it for a '92 K V8S (pre cat). TMS had taken it in and sold it on (see Which car should I buy ??? thread in Gen Gassing).
I had always said that I would only upgrade to a V8, the wife was not that impressed with another 2 seater - kids very impressed.
I went to have a look on Thursday and was 70% convinced, started it up 80% convinced, test drive - bl**dy hell, where do I sign.
I got a good price for the S3c (about what you were looking for Paul), allowing for the paint that my bonnet needed where it had been scuffed. It'll be interesting to see what it gets advertised for.
I'm picking it up at the weekend - can't wait
