Love that garage pairing! I just looks so right, a classic fast Ford & a Ferrari to keep it company.

More pics of the RS Turbo too please??

This coming from a guy who used to hate 80's Escorts!

What spec is your V8? A plate check says it's a 2007 car. It has a V12-style grill but the car is a V8. You refer to it as a GT4, which makes me think you might refer to the N430 but it can't be that. Is it a custom car or edition I have never heard of? I am genuinely interested to know more smile

Nice detective work,
It was a nice 2007 4.3 Vantage 380BHP when I bought it. I started playing around (as you do)...
After 19 months of work, it is now a custom built car, rebuilt from chassis up. Brand new 485BHP 4.7 GT4 AM Race Engine, with a bespoke Zagato interior and matching Zagato carbon seats. Lots of external body changes - one being the new Vantage 12Vs racing front end which you spotted.

Oh. I've just noticed that the second snake might be the real deal too. Is it?

Sorry for the late reply guys, been out driving it smile

The original car before changes 2013, very tidy, low mileage etc

Project TeaSpn as the car has fondly been named started in Oct 2013 by trying to explore getting a few more horses out of the car. Ended up being a ridiculously large project. smile

TeaSpn recently at Spa, Sept 2014 with AML factory day (note: the car has semi-slick V12V lightweight track wheels on, not the normal wheels)



With HRE wheels that I designed and made with the HRE team in Vista California, hand brushed satin, tinted clear powder coat

The original 4.3



I purchased a low mileage 4.7 engine from Gaydon, it was stripped and rebuilt from ground up as new GT4 Race 4.7 by Bamford Rose
