......Steve Cole, ex TVR Tuscan racer smile

We got talking about TVR's (the track day was in Jags - The XKR-S is the 2nd best sounding car I have driven!!) and apparently he drove a 400SE for a while whilst he was working for TVR. Of course we already knew that 'proper' racers drive Wedge's laugh

Really nice gent thumbup

Said it was probably the most under rated TVR of that time and pre-Speed 6 models as it was soon over shadowed by the developments of the more 'swoopy' designs. Rated the handling as being excellent....in the dry but wayward in the wet.

Amazingly he said it was the best noise of any TVR, fancy that laugh
