Take a look on TVRCC

Depressing.

Sounds great value for money but it is a cat C insureance write of which would explain the low price. Still looks a bargain though.

Question - How much cheaper can V8S's get?
Answer - Depends on how much cheaper Chimaeras get

Give it a couple of years and I think the rarity of the S's will help their values - look at these for example... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?s=9

Do you reckon it's seasonal ?

When I was looking for my Chim, I fancied a V8s, but with decent ones starting at the far side of £10'000, they were a little more than I wanted to spend.

I've just had a look now, and

I really daren't look at the prices of Chimaeras.

Love your username!

Cat D isn't ? Big difference.

Looks a bargain.

+1 Lovely looking car with clean lines. Worth a viewing for someone in the market. Nice wheels on it too! Won't be there long!

I was refering to the one on the TVRCC website that the OP was talking about not the one that the second poster linked to.

Ah...ok.

Just took a look, presumably the one for £4250.

Horrid wheels !

It must have had a fortune spent on it...as ever.

Still damned cheap though, if the main components are sound.

Cat D is 25 - 30% write down, and Cat C worse..... up to 50%. So all in all, if those percentages are applied, V8S prices aren't too catastrophic, even out of season!

On 'normal' cars maybe.

I would always value a 20 year-old TVR based upon actual condition, plus hopefully documented history.
