best place to market a TVR for private sale
Discussion
Has it been in the Sprint classifieds? From my experience anything that goes in there generates a lot of interest.
That said unless you're desperate to sell I'd bide my time for a month or two till the weather improves and then it should go a lot more easily.
ETA I don't understand why you're selling her now she's really sorted (unless of course you need to) cracking car.

Bloody hell, looks stunning, can't comment on the advert, few more photos of the interior wouldn't hurt.I'd break it down, have a little paragraph, then bullet point details of service/work done with dates and mileage.
Otherwise, it doesn't need a lot of introduction.
Even though its a nice looking car and well sorted,15k for a Chimaera is a lot of money,especially in the current climate and in the depths of winter. If someone buys it, uses it and puts a good few miles on it deprieciation compared to a 10-11k car is going to be fairly horrific.
Think you may have to be patient at that money to find the "right buyer"
Thought it must of been a speed six with a rebuild at such low mileage

Yep agree. It must be the price!!!
What I do before buying any second hand car is to plot price vs mileage for the cars I am interested in. Every point that stands out of the regression line is suspect to me and needs serious arguments to justify the on-cost.
And I always end-up buying a car that lies on the line.
I bet your car is an outlier. Look at the other Chim 500 sold lately in the classifieds.

i have been offered £12k, £13k and £13.5k by diff people and they all got a no. I have moved to £14k so hopefully not massively away from a deal. It is in Sprint, but I have to say I have had no leads from it. I have loads of pics, but for some reason I can only add 3 to the ad, and it won't let me upgrade the ad type! Well, I'll definitely not sell it whilst there is 12" of snow on the ground, I expect to be hanging around till spring now, so just a case of biding time I guess.

Everyones circumstances are different but I would of bit their hand off at 13.5k. Sometimes trying to negotiate a few extra hundred pounds just isn't worth the hassle.You just end up getting more frustrated with more scammers and timewasters,seeing the things you want to spend your money on pass you by and then end up selling at the lower price anyway. At the top end of the market its going to be tough.scorcher said:

I am joking, yea I am getting a bit tired of it and there is surely more of it to come. Fact of the matter is, I was standing my ground as it wasn't just a few hundred quid, it was £1500. I would have been prepared to move further than £14k but the guy basically was £13.5k or nothing. I'm sure we would have had a deal but that's the way it goes. 
Yea i should prob say the reason why it needed the rebuild in the ad, so people don't make up their own minds! It was a mistake by an indy, a washer got sucked into a cylinder. It definitely hasn't been abused, and I wouldn't want anyone to think that. As far as the colour goes, well not much I can do about people not liking purple is there?! Whoever buys it will buy it because of the colour, but yea I understand the majority would rather have boring silver.
