Can't find VRT Rates on a TVR

Zascar · 2007-02-23 14:52:15

A mate of mine wants to bring in a TVR from the UK. He wants to find out how much the VRT wil be but TVR's are not mentioned on the VRT website. It is a 1997 R TVR CHIMAERA 4.0 2 Door Convertible. Any ideas?

Many cars are not listed on the VRT site. Only option is to ring your local VRO. See here for a list of all of them and their contact details:

Under section 3 click on the VRO location finder

Yes your mate will have to ring the VRO for a quote on a rare car like a TVR. Then watch them pull a random figure from the sky, mulitply it by 2 and add 12 for good luck to arrive at the OMSP.

You might also add that they never, ever answer the phone.;)

A few TVR gurus popped up in this thread. Perhaps pm one of them for assistance?

You'd want to tell your friend to be careful. They're not made any more and have a bad reputation despite looking nice

Ringing the vro is the only option. Once they quote ask for a written confirmation and that's usually valid for about 3 months i think. Tvr's are an excellent car, i wouldn't listen to anyone downing them unless they have had first hand experiance of owning them
