Serious suggestion here...

I spent a couple of months trawling the classifieds for a car and the main problem was just a lack of examples (admittedly it was winter). I placed a wanted ad with the TVRCC and although it didn't do much on the website, since going into Sprint I've had 6 or 7 phone calls.

Maybe it's the (alleged) approach of spring, but those people were nowhere to be seen when I was looking! If anyone's serious about getting an S and contemplating TVRCC membership, it might be worth joining beforehand and placing an ad in the magazine.

  • Just remember to cancel it once you have one. smile

Good advice!

Cos it's bloody annoying responding to a wanted advert when they've bought one months ago laugh

Thanks for the heads up ~Currently on the look see for a V6 S~

Yep. I've withdrawn mine, but it's still in this months copy of Sprint, so having to explain to people that I've alredy got one - nice bunch of people S owners though, I've ended up having a chat with most of the people who've phoned up!

Most people seem to have phoned, but I've had a few emails too, can forward them to anyone who's looking (PM me). No guarantees about the cars at all (I obviously don't know them), but if you're searching they may be of interest.

Woops, misread Chris's post - I thought he meant to cancel the TVRCC membership not the wanted ad paperbag

Good luck with your search smile

I put a wanted ad on Pistonheads, didn't get a dickybird for ages.
Then I bought a car.
You can guess the rest.
