Anyone know the history of this...

It's genuine. The Gamekeeper sold it a while back (two years?) Two were built, a coupe, which Chris ( ownshttp://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?memberId=25044&name= ) owns and effectively built most of it and this one. IIRC it needed a lot of work doing when Steve sold it.

This car was featured in the TVR Sprint magazine a couple of years ago. From what I remember it was sound but needed a bit of TLC. Would be a nice addition to the wedge collection, although I am a big fan of Chris's FHC Tasmin Turbo as I saw it at the motor show in Birmingham. That was when I said to myself "I'm gonna have one of those oneday". Been stuck with the wedge bug ever since.

Those pictures are FHC, the DHC used a VERY different engine. It was on a SU carb, don't know what the performance figures were for it, but I would be interested.

Regards,

Chris.
