lets just say i have a hypothetical TVR CHIMAERA 500 1998
39,000 miles

full main dealer service history
(this car always goes in with a blank cheque to be serviced)
two owners
in the last 2000 odd miles,
new gaz suspension,properly set up.
leven ali radiator
new brakes and braided lines
4 new toyo tyres
decatted and cermacoated manifolds and Y piece
twin throttle carbon plenum
numerous Steve Heath upgrades
nice colour
full unmarked leather
full leven ali 'pack' and i mean full.
individual 3 inch roll over hoops
500 over mats
cross bolted block.
tornado chip and resister switch
six stack cd player with extra speakers
All bits to put car back to standard(alone worth a few bob in the classsifieds)

negatives. a few stone chips.

what is this car sensibly worth at the moment ?

thanks

11-12k I guess.
The market is bloody quiet at the moment though so be prepared for a long wait. Had my 400 up for sale now for just over a week and not one call.

Maybe...but we are talking Ireland here, not so many to choose from, at the last count there here under 70 TVR's of all types in the whole of Ireland (ROI &NI) most of them seem in really good nick (well maintained) not like some of the junk I've seen on the main land.

If you look in the classifieds dealers are advertising 97/98s for 11-13k.
