£4315 then ten times that figure to get it on the road.

Have you seen what other delights/mad stuff the feller has for sale?  A mad cornucopia of shite and non-shite.

That aside £2,200.00, the market for these must be fairly small I'm guessing?

£2000 and a never ending cycle of re-listings as cats/dogs/fish/aliens/kids etc keep accidentally bidding on it.

With just a handful of men, the TVR could reach £3333.33. And very possibly start all over again. @Stinkwheel

I'm not normally a TVR person but the double rear window makes me weak at the knees.

1800.01, as that seems the going rate for a fucked wedge.

I'll have his MGB Hi-top; it's in the right era to have "carbon fibre springs M9".

An alternative money pit for those who lost out on the Starion? 

TVR 280i TASMIN COUPE WEDGE 1981 55,000 MILES PROJECT (barn find) VERY RARE | eBay

hahahahaha, I just looked at the ad and I know exactly where that is. Its a shite-heaven thats visible on Google Earth. Very, very rarely something is unfucked enough that it makes it out to the entrance by the main road with a for sale sign on.

TBH, much like the Starion I'd sit in that and just make vroom vroom noises. The interior is basically what I imagine even a showroom-fresh TVR to look like, all parts bin shit, mould, gaffer-taped-up bits of hose and wires vomiting forth from everywhere! 

Based on the mentalness of ebay, there is probabaly £500 of cassette tapes in the glovebox.

I wonder how bad the not-fibreglass bits underneath are? Whats the engine, a 2.8 Ford (cologne? Essex?) V6?

I could nip up the way and go and ask I suppose...

Indeed, nobody wanted the wedge! You're this weeks winner with a precisely accurate guess of 0 bids.

It was just too mouldy. Even with a drop of port it would be difficult to stomach.

 

Well a slight change of direction, and something that has bids on. A pretty rare site in the UK as well. 3 days left to play, place bets now.

If Rene from 'Allo Allo were still trading in the 1990's, that's exactly what he would own for having naughty time with Yvette, Mimi or anyone else he could get his hands on.

£4.400.00 with a few french letters stuffed into the door pockets.

Are you suggesting a shill bidder? Surely not.

Not really - more the sort that my wife tripped over a few weeks back - she listed about ten items (first for ages) and three of them have ended up with no payment or contact from zero feedback bidders, I think there's bots/folks just having a laugh.
Shill bidding on this van may be a possibility though - be interesting to watch (currently £3,100)

I've always set my auctions to not allow zero bidders.
I don't understand why people put that on an auction -there's a setting.

But cars and vans are often being shill bidded. Just put a reasonable reserve on and be done with it. It'll find its own value. If you don't like that, put it up at a set price or Autotrader or Facebook.

I just list my own stuff with a buy it now/offers with the instant payment requirement. My good lady listed hers at a 99p start and didn't wade through the new 'selling hub' shennanigans (it's been a while since she listed anything) so missed the ability to block the zero feedback'ers.
Now that she's scratched that itch  I guess I get to relist the unsold stuff for her. (she had a £1 final value fee offer and has flogged about £600 worth of stuff so she's happy)

£1,003.00 from me. 

Secretly, I'd quite like a standard one of these to blezz around in with the doors off and hood down like I was an NPC in GTA: Vice City.
