Posh Pawn or Porsche Pawn?

[LWT RSR]

Should have done a thread on my monster but am useless at this anyway Channel 4 8pm tonight the beast makes its TV debut hope you enjoy.


Then off to Excel Centre for the weekend to say farewell !

Comes with complimentary ear defenders for the faint hearted.

I was wondering what engine was it fitted with?, It did look very well done by the way.

[Scooty100]

Looked like you had a few other cars in that garage Tony

[v8ksn]

Hang on, whats this all about? Was your car on telly?

If this was yesterday, can I watch it on catch-up somewhere?

[mdianuk]

I assume it was on that god awful programme yesterday, available on 4od here:

Can't watch it, that guy (the owner of the pawn shops) really thinks he's something special!

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Stunning car and looked amazing on the telly (watched it on catch up with the wife today). Great but if publicity and best of luck with the new venture

[stichill99]

If the most you can get is £50k from a pawn shop,does this not tell you it's not an outstanding business proposition! The garage that is currently advertising the car at £100k must be very optimistic. If the car had been built at Autofarm or somewhere with a good rep it may have been more sellable. I just get the feeling it's a 'Lets jump on the old Porsche bandwagon' . Lots of dosh to be made there you know!

The car wants for nothing just a driver with some balls.
Beautifully built by Specialist Cars of Malton over 2 years to an unbelievable standard.
Nick Fulljames engine of Redtek squeezed 350 bhp from the rear end.
I even run it on open megaphones for added entertainment.
Handmade one off factory BBS magnesium wheels on Pilot Sports
The list goes on,wouldn't like to calculate what it would cost again?
Its at the Excel Centre this weekend on display but i want to sell her.
Would consider a sensible deal for the car,which is a real one off.
Have got other projects in the pipeline that are similar.

Lightweight ,very fast,head turning,air cooled monsters.

Just my cup of tea....not everyones I understand.

No need to slag it off on here if its not for you?


I like my cars different to everyone else hope you enjoyed?

Good man!

Downloading the episode now, looking forward to hearing this beast!

[MDL111]

Picture looks really cool - and your description sounds like it is a ton of fun . Good luck

[LWT RSR]

Thanks chaps, yes it was fun to build,fantastic to drive, now just moving it on !

Thers always the next car it will be different but i use the same formula.

Always end up with a massive smile on my face where ever I take them.

Magnus Walker bloody loved my yellow beast so thats ok by me.

We all like different cars on here which is good but my bag is retro reps.

No need for bitterness just get out and drive lol!

[JohnnyMac]

Text a few guys I know to watch last night. One said he thought it looked stunning but found an issue with the front end of the car off putting.

I couldn't believe his ability to see this and take a snap of it. He does have a point though.

[LWT RSR]

Holy st an uneven gap i'll sue Porsche for those new rubbers being to new those bds!

Well spotted that man .

Are you a sniper in the SAS ???

[JohnnyMac]

Well spotted alright. The spotter is a mechanic and a musician.
In fairness to you, it is a stunning car. But I have no idea of what these type of cars are worth. Nowadays, I have no idea how anyone can say what rare and old Porsche's are worth.

[Innowaybored]

Looks lovely that. Haven't watched the program as I don't really do TV but bravo for your passion and focus on the car.

Good luck for the future projects - may the bring you happiness and a big bank account (although my guess is that you already have one of those)

[010101]

Looks superb, and I bet it drives beautifully in drift mode.
What is the large air intake in the front for?

I thought that this was built in the States 10 years ago?

Tony, I was behind you going through Banstead High Street last summer and managed to get some video on my phone as my missus was driving- what a car you have there! Not one for shrinking violets, that's for sure, the noise was astounding! Would be interested to see your next project..

[Swede123]

I would have thought with those names involved in its build you'd have journos queuing up to write an article about it. An article in one of the Porsche mags would give it a lot of publicity.
