I know what you mean chris,
I drove past this ...Auto Trader Dealer Pages - Dorchester Sports ..........the other week and couldn`t believe the price tag, had to look twice.
For 10k thats a proper toy, just have to persuade the wife. lol

Re: Look just what turned up in my road ...

He did actually ask me what I thought the car was worth ... in my head I thought about 25k (04 plate with 8k), but I told him 30k ... didn't realise how good my intuition was ...

Autotrader - TVR T350 3.6 2

Not economical enough i'm afraid. Did look into a Cerbera a while ago as some of them are getting cheap. But the running costs are astonomical. Maybe one day.
