Sold my M

Post by VRSteve » Mon Mar 12, 2018 5:33 pm

I sold my M to my local specialist today.

Didn't get quite what I wanted for it, but I'd rather take a small hit than have to deal with the idiots and tyre kickers that are bound to come knocking on my door.

Car will be gone by the end of the week, and I'll be putting a few bits I have floating about up in the for sale section.

It's been emotional.

I've not bought anything yet!

I'm after a TVR Chimaera 450 if I can find a good one!

Doh...you should have offered the B12 kit for a replacement with stock plus money. I for one would have been super keen.

It was a very well set up car that I'd put a lot of time and money into.

I did briefly consider putting the car up for sale on here, but given the way other for sale posts have turned out on here I decided that I couldn't be bothered to deal with the grief and stupidity that would evidentially end up ruining my for sale thread. I'll put a link up to the dealer that has the car once its gone if anyone wants to purchase it.

The Strut brace and GruppeM are gone, to save anymore people messaging me!

You made the hardest choice by selling the "M", but once you find a good TVR Chimaera 450 you will not regret it.
The burble of the V8 is so intoxicating, you don't need to be going at 10 - 10th's to enjoy the ride. Main thing to remember is buyer beware!

That last point is very true. Almost all cars are fast now, so it is no longer the case of "being faster". Sometimes a drive in my old Golf is more rewarding as even within the speed limits it can be a challenge.

It is replacing the X5, so that would not be quite the right car :lol:
