1977 4500 cc Rover V8, Cosworth pistons and rods, new Custom Heads by Bygone Autos, Dry Sump, Motec Fuel Injection. New shell from California. Bodywork and rollcage by Race FX. This car has not been raced since complete rebuild. Over $130k spent on this car. Registration on hold. Estimated 350hp.
See Comment from Morris of Stag Spares from previous auction:
Hi Brett, the engine is worth more than the current bid. The engine is $20k to build from scratch. Come on guys dig way deeper that that! I wouldn't sell my TR8 for less than 40k. This car is a 1.08 sec pukekohe car. thats why it cost 130k to build. regards Morris posted by: stag4x4 (37 ) 4:12 pm, Wed 26 Dec
