Looking amazing so far. Looking forward to see progress photos.

The V8S is back from the paintshop, took some time but the quality is superb ;-)

[TVR-Stu]

Looks fantastic Han, is it the original colour? Looks really vibrant.

Might be riding a bit high though.

Keep the updates coming please.

[HvdWeerden]

Hi Stuart, no not the original colour that was a bit too light blue. This is Ford BCYE spirit blue metallic. I already fitted the anti-ford device 😀

Standard, nothing fancy. Because of rust in the cylinders, new tophat liners were fitted. And of course all new injectors, camshaft, lifters , water pump etc.
Doing 245 BHP now, guess that's sufficient ;-)

More than sufficient

[v8s4me]

Are those figures at the rear wheels?

[HvdWeerden]

John only had the engine, so measured at output splines:-)

[v8s4me]

Impressive. That's a nice flat torque curve and with around 200ft/lbs at just 1500 rpm it will be a pleasure to drive. Especially in the Alps!

In your homeland you can just use 4th and drive it like an auto
