1988 TVR 390se in ruby mica red.

Not going to be everyone's cup of tea but I just love the eighties goodness.

Nice! In fairness @Scottland got there first!

I haven't actually seen it yet, but what could possibly go wrong blind buying a 30 year old TVR?

Hoovie? Is that you?

Heh. I bought my last car blind too (almost literally, all the photos were out of focus!) and that was fine. The data shows blind buying is a 100% effective strategy.

I've never bought a car blind, but on several occasions I have been so decided on buying a car before I see it, that I change my insurance over... Which is basically the same thing.

I've done that more times than I haven't...

At least the photos are in focus this time!

Picking up next week, can't wait.

Ha, that is the exact one I found when I googled TVR 390SE

Haha. Think they only made about 90, apparently this is probably one of the 2 or 3 last to be made, at least of those that are still known.

I must say though, its really not a looker... At least to me. And I generally like body 80's cars.

They are super marmite. I'm still not sure how I feel about the colour to be honest, but I love all the angular lines. They look amazing in white or blue. My last 3 cars have been boring silver so I'm counting anything else as a bonus! The styling is the reason they're by far the most affordable TVR, so win - win, sort of.

Nice wedge

Wedge. Like the large one you need to spend keeping it on the road

Hush! It's going to be super reliable, weather proof and definitely not a colossal money sink.

Yep, leaving it in a dry garage and not driving it is definitely the way forward

There's got to be at least 5 or 6 nice driving days left this summer!
