Next big thing...

360 CS?

Already strong £ but surely gonna be £300K in the near future.

TVR Sagaris might be another one??

Answers on a postcard......
From my unbiased viewpoint I'd say Mondials and Integrales are the ones to watch... wink

I'll studiously ignore Cunning Punt for now.


But in a look around the classifieds tonight, I've come across this - it's not cheap at £37,500, but it does look awesome!!

First time I've seen a tuscan racer in a barge thread. hehe

Those side pipes look monsterous. Would that be allowed on the road?

It's a shame that TVR in period kept all the engines although with the GM lump at least it's one less thing to worry about!!!

Nicely executed.

But all that work and effort, and they forget to put a cage in??
That looks just like an old Firestone advert from the late 80s

Had a good day out at http://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/ today. Well recommended if you are in the area (or worth travelling to if you're not!).

Some very nice metal on show. And Russ Swift did 2 30min sessions on the test track, kids loved watching that smile

Remember watching the Tuscan challenge on Eurosport in the late 90's to early 00's and they were FAST and looked a right handful to drive, sounded bonkers aswell. Love it.

Edit: Could have been early to mid 90's actually...

I've really started liking these in the last 2-3 years. Previously I wasn't a fan and would have responded with some nonsense about it being the worst Ferrari ever made.

But now I really like it.

And in TB form (ie no pop-out roof) and in red on black it looks amazing.

And while we're on the subject of donkey, I just spotted this. Quite a rare beast.



Oh - and it's LHD, automatic and probably quite flexible. And £45k.
