Why he's advertising it before fixing it is beyond reason! May be worth asking if it's been moved by forktruck. Quote

Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Scary to think just how much damage there might be to the chassis if you properley checked it.on a jig as you should do. Wonder why he had to spray the body and not just buy a red rear arch. Oh maybe the body had been hit pretty badly then !!!! Sorry, I'm being cynical. 1 Quote

I suspect the buyer will be told, I'll give you the bits so you can fix it yourself etc, to avoid responsibility for repair! Quote
Kingster Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 I think TVR Glen is the boy! He's keeping prices for our cars nice and high - If people think £8.5k for a write off that needs repairing before it is drivable is an easy fix® bargain - then mine's got to be worth twice that 1 Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 In all seriousness, when the name first came up, I remember doing some internet digging; he very much seemed to split opinion in the TVR community, a lot complained that he’d essentially destroyed the bargain restoration market by hoovering so many up and selling them for top money. On the other hand, those already with TVR’s, especially ones needing serious work, loved the fact that there cars were now selling for that much more! 1 Quote
