Why no mods? All Cerbies will have been modified after leaving the factory to correct the many little problems and crapness... what sort of mods do you mean?

I've often thought this time of year difficult to sell - Kids under your feet - Holidays etc

Surely this time of year, people wanting to buy TVRs are looking at open top ones, rather than ones with a fixed lid.

I don't mind the essential mods, like sports pipes and brake upgrades an the like, but I must be one of the few ppl who doesn't like the zirtec lights on the front.

But after 2000, the "zertec style" lamps *are* standard?

True, but you can't get a 2000 car for sub 25K...

I agree with the standard lights though..

Dean, yep the more I drive it the more reluctant I am to sell it and to make matters worse I am off to the Logic TVR roadshow in Aberdeen today so don't be surprised if I come back with a Tuscan !!!!
Seriously needs must, need the four door and possible relocation abroad for me at the end of year depends on how things pan out here.

I can comment on Deans car/exhaust, but still can't speak about it... I'm still partially deaf !

And as for driving.... Well this was what was left by the Ratpac when we waved them off the last time we met up (deans are the longest marks there.....)
The looks from other cars as 4 Cerb's left smoking was entertaining...
