Sold her last week and even with a 500 chim I still miss her soooooooo much.
I said to the lucky sod who bought mine that when you come to sell her on call me first.
Good luck guys and thanks for the help during my two years of fantastic ownership.
Best parts of ownership other than blatting round tracks and storming tunnels with the roof down was jump starting broken down euro boxes, beemers and mini's

S cars are funny things, sort of an oddity, I have just bought another, there was absolutely nothing at all wrong with my wedge, but I really liked my S3C so thought I would try another one!

Hope the 500 is a hoot. Should be..

What is it about them????
Sigh, I'd buy her back if I could afford to run two, at least I know she is being enjoyed by someone else now and he is being seduced by her many charms.

I can only dream of missing my V8S - it's a great car, with no known problems, at a very good price(). I'm not even sure that I'm doing the right thing in selling, but I've got it into my mind that I should have a Griff 500!

I know what you mean, I handed a wad of bills worth over twice what the car went for, I really don't think I would have done that for any 500, cerb maybe, but not another TVR convertible, the performance difference is not that great to justify it imhe.

Dave,

I know the guy who bought your car and can tell you that he is really chuffed with it. I think he's had it out every day so far even though he uses another car for work! It sounds like he got a good one and I know he will look after it well.

Really glad to hear that, thanks for the post.
In two years of ownership it was the most reliable car I've had, but then I did look after it obsessively.

May I just interject here...........

BUY IT.

I bought one yesterday, it's marvellous. Plus with regard to this one in particular, I think it looks absolutely smashing in white.

Thanks for the compliment Mike - I tend to agree, that white is right on a V8S. And it stands out well in a crowd...

Some cars look good in white, the V8S is one, Porsches are another, a no messing about colour.

Looks like your car is next to mine on the picture.

The place where those pics were taken, was it the same place as the Griff Growl a couple of weeks back?

Yes, ettington chase. Where the wedge fest is as well, a nice venue.
