[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The car was literally located in the middle of nowhere and  took some finding.

Did I buy it?......NO.

£3950 was far to much too pay for this car.

[Kevin Wood]

I'd take the house, though. Would have to try some to annoy the neighbours there!

Come on, then. What were the snags?

[Lagondanet]

Nice location. 

[omega3000]

Would like to live out that way , lovely house  Car dont look too bad , did you make him offer

Come on, then. What were the snags?

A blank piece of paper that said no more than ........Chassis welding £300.

Engine wouldn't rev over 3000 rpm....along with a persistent 'whine' from inside the cabin. Fuel pump...injectors???. Tickover extremely lumpy almost to the point of cutting out.

Tatty body and interior. Fibreglass 'crazed' in quite a few places.

Blowing exhaust.

All tyres below 2mm depth.

Oil pressure 50psi.......Low, I think.

MOT expired in March 2014 with a long list of advisories.

Bonnet wouldn't open fully.

Battery slow to turn over engine.

Generally unloved.

No.....but I left him a contact number.

Sub £2000 and it might be worth a punt.

That was my first thought when I saw the pictures,if he can't be assed to clean it what about the rest.

[Webby the Bear]

Sounds fairly typical TVR to me. Oh, and 50 PSI is fine.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The pictures don't do the location justice, Mr Bear.

It was stunning.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Yep, 50 psi is good!

that must have been about the only hill for bloody miles around your way

[05omegav6]

Was thinking that about the geography too

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Tried ringing, Doctor Opti. If you're still interested, I've managed to get the bonnet to fully open. That being the case I think it's worth a bit more. Shall we say £4150 cash?

We are fortunate to own a humble rural retreat in deepest Wales. Mainly used for holidays.

We were not so destitute in the eighties and nineties as we are now.
