Isn't this the one fitted with the far superior MT75 as opposed to the rubbish N type gearbox that means it can outrun porsche turbos! Really shocked to see it didn't sell

I don't think Locust 32 could handle this one. He'd need a special licence to be able to drive it. Happy enough with mine and its enough to entertain. Looking forward to driving it again with its new XR4 discs and calipers fitted.

then just floor it in any gear and it rockets off like a pebble fired from a catapult!!! Incredible cornering speeds, incredible noise, massive grin factor, even in the rain with the (shabby but leak proof) targa panels up, the car never fails to make you smile! So light that it shames much much more powerful and expensive cars, recently embarrassed driver of new Porsche turbo who fancied his chances on A10, he flew past me turbos howling on the straight (I didn’t even know he was coming, I was just cruising at about 80-90) but I put up chase & caught him coming into the m25 roundabout as I was still accelerating where he had already started braking!!! Not because he was at such a higher speed than me but because I was confident to go into the roundabout at much higher speed than him, caught him on the inside entering the roundabout & fired past him on the outside going round the roundabout leaving him in my dust and noise! The TVR flat & predictably, easily best handling grippy-est car I’ve ever been in, perfectly balanced, nearest thrills on the road to a Superbike I know (I rode Superbikes for years). This is very much built for road holding rather than comfort! Even on relatively narrow 205 & 225 tyres, the grip is incredible! And recently embarrassed a Bentley Continental Gt driver on the set of lovely tight bends going North around Hyde park corner into Park lane side by side he tried to cut me up going past Wellington arch but I floored it and took him on the inside and kept accelerating hard around the next right with him on my inside and got well ahead through the bends taking them at speeds that amazed me, without even tyre squeal let alone any slide. But once on the straight he shot past me like a missile, well come on, 6-litre twin turbo 560Bhp he ought to be able to pass me in a straight line! I reckon this car is just made for bends, would make a brilliant hill climb or track day car!
Dont you just love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About 18 bids from 6 bidders - I think its worth £1.5k - £2k but I guess the reserve is much higher than that

Hi All
I quote
The chassis and suspension on the S2 is also improved reducing weight transfer and ‘dipping’ (squat) under acceleration, greatly improving grip and handling.


I need to get some of that for my S1, me thinks he is a fiction writer looking at the write up

Hi Mick,


Nice one, I was in Hyde Park this week and doing incredible speeds of at least 16 mph.
We should arrange a coach trip to look at this mean machine
