V8Ss are like buses, none around when you want one, but then they all arrive together!

How come that there are so many V8Ss for sale this year, just when I want to sell mine?

I thought the same and had to virtually give it away in the end, but its gone to a good home now which sounds daft but is important to me.

Hi Andrew,

Sorry to hear the S hasn't shifted yet, but I'm sure you're still having fun with it...?

I've now got mine back for good now after almost 3 1/2 months at Dulford and enjoying it more than ever. Just arrived at work having driven down from Bristol, though had to keep it nice and slow to save a bit of petrol. Couldn't be arsed to stop to get some!

Probably yes....

I am looking at the moment [I'm sure I emailed you for some details...and more piccies!]

I'm not keen on the stripe and sticker though
Still....that'll come off won't it...

Where are you geographically speaking?
Send me some more pics if you have 'em....gorvid@hotmail.com

I can't say I like the stripe and sticker look on the S series, just as the TURBO sticker down the side of a Taimar seems to push the boundaries of taste somewhat, but DM's car is a fine example that sounds nice.

Hi Jon,
I though I had emailed you some pictures, maybe they didn't get through. I'll send some more.

The stripe and V8S sticker are standard. I wouldn't like to say whether they would come off easily though.

I wasn't implying that you had put stickers on your car BTW......

So why is everyone selling their V8S's? All this temptation is just not good - I have a wedding to pay for!

I wonder how much I could scrape together if we went without the honeymoon/flowers/champagne/etc.....

That's ok, I didn't think that your were.
I just meant that for a "classic" shape TVR of the 80's/90's the markings are typical of the era and of course they also indicate that the paintwork is original and not resprayed.

Thats a good point....
I think I just prefer the cleaner lines [the S is so pretty after all] I think the same of the Porsche graphics...

Bother, I thought I'd destroyed that one - just be sure not to show anyone else
