Appears to be blue ?

Looks comfy but apart from that I'm not into it. Sozzles.

Car is unremarkable, but how do you manage to upload every single photo upside down??

Something to do with it landing upside down after the accident and now that’s the only way it can be viewed ?

Browsing ebay for wheels and while the start price is definitely great, what I really want to know is - did you buy the car to match the doors, or paint the doors to match the car ??

I thought you might like a 360 estate, albeit a slightly different shade of grey :(

This might reflect more on Royal Mail than eBay but - I ordered three small items late on Wednesday afternoon. All three arrived together today, Tuesday. Postage was 2nd Class, 1st Class & 24h :roll:

I saw silver and I thought "yes".

Then I saw "Astra" and I thought "no".

Then I saw "RACECAR" and I thought "yes".

Then I saw "Missing various parts, e.g. gearbox and original engine" and I thought "no".

Then I saw "£25k".

Heh.

No.

Quite the roller coaster isn't it? I thought it interesting to read about, I should have a google and find out if there were any homologation road cars like there were for the mk2 & BMW 333i etc.

It’s a proper supertouring shell so it’s CAF and probably cost an insane amount of money.

I like the obscure ones we didn’t (or rarely) saw like the Mazda 323 and Astra belmonts.

Wouldn’t have been a homologation version as they would have been built to the standard fia supertouring specs so just had to be based on a road car with an 2 litre engine based on a production block.

At least they arrived in the right town....that's a problem I have whenever something gets delivered by Royal Mail. Gets sent to the same street name, two miles away :roll:

Including once a motherboard left in someones recycling bin. On collection day....

How dumb do you have to be to post screenshots of a photo rather than the photos themselves?

But I would imagine a well sorted Puma could be great fun

It's got presence, that's one thing you can say about it, and I like the colour.:D

It's not a great looker, is it? If it had looked better I'm sure TVR would have bothered making and selling more of them for the road, but instead they switched to the gorgeous T350 and Sagaris. I know which I'd rather have.

that elongated roof and long rear side windows look so strange when compared to how pretty the proportions of the Tuscan or tamora were. £240k is a hell of a lot of money! 😳

I'd like to see it in the flesh, just because it would look like nothing else on the road, but it doesn't really work aesthetically. @Jobbo is correct. For me the T350 is one of TVRs best looking cars (along with the Griff of course). Tuscan's are nice, but I never quite lusted after them as much as the Cerbera, Griff and T350.
