Though with a reserve on I guess it may not attract as many bids

Someone on here may know this car as it has a pistonheads sticker on the back.

That's 'psychoberts' here on ph's old car.
I can vouch it's a good one. I had a V8S in exactly the same colour cloud9

Hi all,
I'm the guy who bought this car yesterday. Glad to hear that you think it's a good car and a good deal.
I'm new to TVR but looking forward to jumping in with both feet. I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have for me regarding my new motor.
Cheers,
Owen

Well bought I say.
Have a look at http://www.tvrsseries.com

Look through the buyers guide and give your car a check over - I know you've bought it now but still worthwhile from a safety angle.
Particularly check the rear trailing arms - drivers side rots first noone knows why.
Check outriggers - not uncommon for them to have holes in at the front outer corners just behing front wheels.

Finally if you're not used to a powerful rear wheel drive car take it easy - accelerate in straight lines till you get used to it or it will bite you.

Enjoy!

Chris

Hi Owen wavey

Don't ever sell it without giving me first refusal ok?

Looks like you are not too far from me, (I'm based in Northants), so any time you want some advice or to kick tyres, let me know. I'd had the car for 5 years and am just not around enough to maintain it the way I wanted to, so with huge regret px/ed it against a Tamora, (which I'm hoping being a younger car won't need the fettling that a 20 year old TVR does..). I was minutes away from p/xing my Fabia VRS instead of the V8S..

I've got a few spares and odds and ends you are welcome to - the roof panel bags for example seem to be still in my spare room and not in the boot of the car and I'm pretty sure I have a set of rear lights too..

Cheers for now..

I can't believe it went for that!!!

Unless it has changed a lot since I last saw it that is very cheap indeed.

(Si, good to see you posting on here, hope you're well smile)
