Result of hitting an earth/tyre banking at the Anglesey Circuit at about 60mph almost head on back in 2008.....ouch! (forgot to turn left at rocket!!!)

Engine, still attached to the gear box, ended up where the rad should be!

Took 3 weeks solid for my son, my brother, and me to get the car put back together and have it racing at Silverstone.

Pretty much everything from the windscreen forward, including the chassis, had to be straightened or replaced. New chassis bits were replaced with API5L shed 40 steam pipe!

Mr. Chant, you are a star sir.

Maybe it's not the car...but the driver.

My last drive out in a TVR.... snapped throttle cable .

My mate is still learning about TVR maintenance. I WOULD have had a couple of yards of string in my car, and an electrical joining block thingy.
