  1. An interesting option, kind of eBay in reverse, thanks Richard. Just wish companies quotes were competitive to start, might save everyone time and effort in the long run. A colleague at work today said "why not drive the car home....?", hmmm, an interesting idea, if it breaks down, most of the classic insurance companies include pretty good comprehensive breakdown cover I'm told so maybe that's worth thinking about too and will definitely be a cheaper option! Thanks for the ideas guys, appreciated. Kind regards, dave
  2. Thanks Clive, That's exactly the sort of useful recommendation I was after. Will ask for a quote at the appropriate time. Cheers dave.
  3. Can anyone recommend a car transportation company please, prefer covered trailer but looking at options, south coast UK. Rather than drive home a possible purchase, I'd like to look at options from a company who specialises in classics to collect and deliver the car. Regards, dave
  4. Hi, Thanks for all thoughts, I have placed an advert in the Classifieds, both here and else where and am just waiting for that one phone call to make my day. I am after a truly as per factory concour condition car, so complete originality is what I'd ideally like get. I do appreciate that most will have had the odd modification (some very odd ) but I suspect there will be another purist like myself out there. In the meantime it sounds like dealers cars will be very expensive compared to a private purchase so thats where I suspect I'll get lucky. If anyone wants to know the sort of condition I'm after, then a quick google for 'exotic classics triumpg gt6', a USA LHD car but a fantastic restoration (I do appreciate that some bits are not original but in terms of finish and attention to detail - exactly the sort of car I'm after). regards, dave
  5. Hi all, I'm a new member who'd appreciate a few opinions on how much a truly concours GT6 or Spitfire would cost at the moment and whether the TSSC valuations are still accurate. It looks like £15k or so for a GT6 and 4-5k for a really good Spitfire but trawling through the classifieds (as I do most evenings given the chance), prices are above this especially for the Spitfires. I make no distinction about models as from what I can see, the prices are almost independent of this. I'm after a really good example, especially a GT6 MK 3 (although my other half would rather have a convertible), my point being cars will sell for what someone's prepared to pay for them but I'd really like an opinion or two on whether the TSSC estimated prices are relevant or need a refresh. I have to laugh a little when I see cars described as 'wouldn't take much to make into a concours show-winner' when clearly they are just a daily drive or ready for a full resto. I'm a patient person but would like to join in the fun this year with a GT6 or Spitfire. An alternative approach which I may consider is to go for a full rebuild with a donor car but as yet I haven't approached any companies as I'm hoping I'll find one through the classifieds, has any one on this site done this recently, I'm sure it would be an expensive alternative? Thank goodness for clubs like the TSSC where I can solicit a few opinions and learn a few things about a potential purchase prior to making any decision. All appreciated..... Kind regards, dave
  6. I signed up to this forum last week and then decided to join the club too but this has caused a problem when I tried to 'Create new account' using my membership number as it said my email has already been registered - which is true of course but surely I can't be the first person to join the club after first being a forum member. Have emailed Angie, who I'm sure, will sort things out for me.... Looking forward to getting all the admin aspects sorted out so can concentrate on my quest to purchase a GT6 and get involved with the club! Kind regards, dave
