I'd be interested to see the dynoplot, though... 270 - 300BHP from a 3.9 is really going for it!



An average 5.0 does 285 Horse.

Ha thats one of my old cars - owned it during 1992/94.



It was owned initially by Giles Cooper who undertook a number of modifications on the car including exhaust, casm etc but the owner before me burst the crank and a 3.9 and the carbs were installed by TVR Power as a result. From memory it had a TVR embossed series 11 rear bumper. The power was in the 300 bracket and went like stink over 2500 rpm when I had it. David Gerald ran this car for some time in a racing series from memory and I will always have fond memories of the car as the steering column snapped on the morning of my wedding day - should have listened hehe



Well worth the money if it is still in good condition.

Who is Giles Cooper? Some guy with the same name used to own either my old wedge or my current wedge?
