Do you have an unusual TVR that is either distinctive to look at, quick and loud? (yes, I know they could all be regarded as that) Even in TVR circles?
Not many of them about yet?
Some free time on Sunday 14th August?
Please contact me on my number on the committee page or on events@tvrcc.com and I will have a netter with you.

Sunday, that clashes with the ASDA event at Brunters, and with SCH.

Would be great to come along, sadly even assuming I get it back in time the engine won't be run it, so it's SCH for me I'm afraid.

Check on the TVR Monster thread, as virtually everything there will be modified in some way, including mine.

Someone had an 'awesome' looking purple/violet Chimaera at the Castle Combe trackday. Anyone here?

I have some 5mm wheel spacers on mine - Modified Enough?!

Jeremy - where might this be (checked TVRCC Events) - if in SE I might be allowed to pop along for a bit.

A Mid-Essex man I suspect.



Coach - I'm sure Pauline would give you number for him. He does a lot of this sort of thing.

IIRC Newlun Design did the work…. T350 headlamps, front splitter, badge moved, extra vents in the bonnet, and a cooling vent for the plenum.

At the rear a Tuscan 2 S style lip spoiler, with LED brake lights underneath, new exhaust – central exit, rear diffuser that can extend outwards (now painted).. afterburner LED rear lights… rear badge opens the boot as with all post-Cerbera cars..

Excellent peice of work there!!!

I love the front, it does the old beast a lot of good!

But the rear spoiler doesnt look quite right, I think if it was blended into the boot lid, then it would have been spot on!

Excellent work Newlund Design....!

Am sure I seen Tim Westwood standing close by!!
We seen that Chim at the Silverstone meet, it's very well executed, if not to everyone's taste.

Headlights and front end treatment are the best bits for me .. love the diffuser aswell though maybe a little bit too square compare to the rest of the curves.

teh bonnet and rear spoiler do nothing for me at all though .. but totally respect the work, time and balls to do it, good show you guys

So they removed lessons in tact from the national curriculum did they?
