There was a talk a few weeks ago on the TVRCC Mail list about something similar.
A garage - I think, putting a BMW M engine in a Cerbie. Someone will have all the details.

when u say Bemmer M do you mean the Mini
Suppose the whole car would fit in there.

Now if TVR do sell out in the Future do u reckon BMW would be interested in them??

Ascari have got at least 500bhp out of the M Power 5.0l V8 - wouldn't mind seeing that in a Tuscan or Cerbie...

How much do TVR sting you for an out of warranty Speed 6 rebuild? How much could you pick up a salvaged M5 engine for?

Might be worth it?

Some things just should not be attempted! Bit like putting a Meschersmit engine into a Spitfire.

Just wondering, when Peter Wheeler retires does he have any sons or daughters to take over the family business?

yeah, I know it is sacreligous (sp?) to contemplate such things...
