looking again :-)

My favourite at the moment... if I was looking right now, this would be the one.
Not technically completely green either
Looks very well cared for - underbonnet looks great. Bargain at 16k?
Atlantic Halycon 500

Noticed it on the day it came up for sale and looks very tidy. Rebuilt engine at 45,000 miles by a TVR main agent but then a new camshaft just 23,000 miles later?
Must like eating them
The cam was changed not because it was worn out but to replace it with a Dave Ellis high torque one. The car is in great condition but is not what you would call an absolute minter as it does have the odd chip and mark here and there as you would expect from an 18 year old motor. To be honest I dont really want to part with it but its driving me mad knowing its going to be sat unloved for the next year or two if I dont.Must like eating them

They are even lower CR than the 4ltrs. Roughly mid 8:1 CR. Plus the added bonus of nicely worked and ringed heads.

Oh I was told by a turbo specialist the 4.0 litre is the best option as their is less work to be done and the CR on the 4.3 is higher power output would be more and stronger conrods would be needed and the 5.0 litre will require forged pistons ?They are even lower CR than the 4ltrs. Roughly mid 8:1 CR. Plus the added bonus of nicely worked and ringed heads.
