It looks like a good one. Mileage is right, shows that it has been used, these cars don't appreciate being left in garages over winter. I would ask the seller to declare whether it has a TVR service history and whether the service is stamped for each 6k. If it hasn't been serviced by TVR franchise or specialist then don't buy it.

If it's all OK then the buy now price is good.

Well I disagree with BOb and his TVR service history, but it has to be said if the guy is keen to let it go so cheap, something can't be kosher.
Or maybe he's a realist and is going to take the money and run. But what the hell could you be so desperate for 10K for that you couldn't get a loan and sort the car out later?

Just me being a cynic maybe.

No photos of the front end either...

Ask about it, maybe its in bad condition or has been scratched or something - seems very odd to only show a car from the back
