Re: Selling my car
 

If anyone buys this before I arrive in 2 weeks time I'll screeeeeeam! (I know that's not very manly, but I've always fancied a Sebring!!)

I've also just had to sell my beloved on Ebay - Marcos Mantula
No chance of bringing her with me, as the DVLA registration date is 1996 :( This is the only date that TC will accept, even though the car was built in 1986 the road conversion was 1996 and that's the date they use :curse:

So the hunt will be on for a new toy - I'm also considering the FactoryFive GTM if they can get it approved

Any other kit car / V8 enthusiasts in Nova Scotia out there?

Re: Selling my car
 

Im going this week :rofl:only kidding not sure where we are going yet but oh likes V8 talk and kit cars:blink:

Re: Selling my car
 

You should definitely come to the meet up on 31st. You and my husband will be very happy together.

Re: Selling my car
 

This thread will not deteriorate to that level you naughty girl!!!!!!!!!! Mr MMC hates the little truck, and due to the FFR GTM being not allowed as yet is now trying to find what else floats his boat enough to plonk the LS7 engine into it.

If your o/h's are anything like mine we have diagrams, internet sites, pictures and ideas floating about the house, a spare room full of parts (ok granted they are mine for my art stuff but anyone else think cylider bodies make great candle holders?!!!) A truck exhaust stack converted into a lamp and a yard full of old cars ready for stock car season :unsure:

And I can't remember who said it but it rings so true - the search for a property entails a heated shop with a house attached!!!

Re: Selling my car
 

Fantastic comment on your Ebay ad

The not so good bits

:rofl::rofl::rofl: nice car though!

Re: Selling my car
 

It's no coincidence. That was me.

Re: Selling my car
 

:thumbsup:
Have you had much interest from Ebay regarding the house / car?

Re: Selling my car
 

Loads of interest in the car. 64 people watching it. A dozen or so questions.Loads of interest. About 70 people watching it, a dozen or so questions, just spent a hour on the phone to people wanting to buy it off auction or wanting to view at the weekend.

Part of me doesn't want it to sell, but thats life.

As for the house, just put it on for extra advertising really. Some watchers, but no real interest. Didn't really expect much, but I hope that estate agent gets their fingers out soon. I just want to go. Infuriating isn't it. The thing I really need to get rid of won't budge.

Re: Selling my car
 

I know DNS we had a guy fly over from Ireland when I sold my car to buy it in a heartbeat (though I did put it up for sale on the enthusiasts forum I belonged to!)

Also did the same as you with the house on Ebay and she is still up for sale in the UK. We didn't let it stop us moving though - granted we don't really want to buy here until it sells but we have a rental and its giving us an idea of areas, and a feel of what we want. So in a way its been a good thing.

(Problem is the rental doesn't have a big workshop or land for my intended horses!!! ;))

I would strongly suggest that if finances allow just come over and start living here, you may find that your needs / wants and ambitions may differ from what you originally thought they might be!

Re: Selling my car
 

Yes, I have considered just moving. My WP should be through within the next month, we will have to consider moving then. My OH is reluctant to leave the house and I have found that it would be hard to insure if it was left empty. One day I will look back on all this and laugh (maybe)

Re: Selling my car
 

It would definately cost you more to build another B to the same standard than it would to ship your one over. MG parts are expensive here, generally you take the pound figure say 10 GBP and then multiply by 3 to get a cost here of $30Cdn, sometimes more. I'm currently building a V8 MGR V8 replica for a chap in Calgary and the parts costs alone are more than $50k. Bs are also be fairly easy to convert to LHD.

Re: Selling my car
 

Thought i would find out how you are all getting on with the car selling OH went to the dealer at the weekend and just out of curiosaty asked if he wanted to buy back the TVR yes he would .............. yes ...... yes........ but for half its value .......noooooooooooooooo :(


so we will put it on to Pistonheads i suppose anyway hows everyone else done with theres ? and also houses any luck ??????

Re: Selling my car
 

Had loads of interest and the car went for well over my reserve price. The guy who won was really pleased and collected the car within 48hours.

Re: Selling my car
 

Thats fab news makes you feel at least it was appreciated, and one less thing to worry about,

Re: Selling my car
 

just out of interest CP what sort of TVR is it? Friend had a Tuscan S (out of my price range) and I nearly bought a chimera a few years back (In my price range :) then realised that I wasn't in fact 18 and single, and had kids and shopping to consider - but it was a close call!:o)

But to be fair then I met MrMMC who just loves all cars so I was sorted - and ended up driving a pug 205 diesel on an F plate for the last 2 weeks in the UK - how did that happen :confused: :(
