Surprised the rover V8 is in there but the drivers seat is back a bit.

The turning circle must be comical! It must have bounce pimp adjustable suspension (thats the technical name for it!)

I think I had a chat with the chap building this at a Mansfield boy racer meet
If it was, it's not a Golf with a TVR engine, it's a TVR with a Golf body
On the interior shot it looks very 'Chimaera'
He told me he'd bumped his Chimaera and the body was a mess but the chassis was straight so he'd started this

Yes - very cool. Hope they spray it a decent colour, though

Sounds a bit like the griffscort...


a modified griff 500 chassis this and escort rs turbo body...

in its final incarnation i believe it had wildcat heads and nos...

with the nos turned on it was somthing stupid like 800 BHP...

Great fun aparently till one of two things happened..


a) It blew up
or
b) The Northants Police helicoper came looking for it..
