Having secured a suitable donor car, I am now on the lookout for a TDV8 Sport

Ideally, an accident/vandal damaged one, as I don't need it for the bodywork/interior, but needs to be mechanically sound, complete and running

And, as the recent posts have shown, the TDV8 is and I'll be dirt cheap now

There is a dickhead on here Mikey, who I presume you are referring to , who must want to get rid of his pile of RRS cheap, by the comments he is posting. I believe he mention 38k of them up for sale on Autotrader, so plenty around, although I struggled to find them.  John

Hi Mike

There are one or two Sports on the Copart breakers/ accident damaged site ,not sure if any would suit as a few are damaged on the front end, Maybe worth a look you would probably be able to gauge the potential damage from the pictures.

Dalcrue don't seem to have a website now as they used to have an odd Sport in too. Don't know if this is any help.

Cheers Jock.

The problem with Copart, is at I would need to go and see the car myself, to make sure the engine was OK before bidding.

I have spoken to a few people who put cars into Copart, and "engineer" small fault into the car, to mask major mechanical faults...

No problem Mike

Its just I knew I had seen a few when I was surfing through things on the net. Wasn't sure if there was any that had been shunted in the tail end and had been put in due to accident damage ,rather than faults.

Are Dalcrue still in business Mike or have they went bust, Knew they used to have a website but couldn't find it now.

Will keep an ear open.

Cheers Jock.

I have dealt with Dalcrue n the last. Bunch of

....and we all thought it was going to be the recipient car 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

I need the practicality of 7 seats and the loadspace, but want the power of the 3.6

Would even consider something complete, if the price was right. Something being traded in would be ideal

Viewing a car on Thursday, what must be the most reasonably priced TDV8 in the country

Turns out it's a customer of mine selling up, after I have fitted 2x turbos, and 2 EGR valves in the past 18 months

It's now mine

Great Stuff, Mikey,

Does this mean we are going to have a "Sporty_Mikey" on the forum soon???

Cheers,

Who knows

It's going to be a hard job to prise the keys out of the wife's hands though. She has fallen in love with it already

And it's a crying shame to strip it. It's a lovely car
But I'd be hard pressed to find another in this condition at that price...

Sport trumps a Disco
Don't break it
