STupid Price ....... BUT!

Description
This car was built using a TVR-M chassis. The 8-point roll cage and door bars encase the driver in an extremely safe zone. The Cosworth, GA Essex motor was built by Ric Wood with dyno sheets available. Everything about this car is custom. The front A-Arms on the double wishbone suspension have been modified along with the rear sway bar. A custom front sway bar was installed. Custom headers and radiator insure a cool running race car. This car has been track tested and raced. It is ready for the 2008 season. A custom fuel system delivers fuel to the triple 40 DCNF’s utilizing a Holley pump. Autometer gauges compliment the dash. Brake bias gauges have been installed taking the guess work out of brake bias adjustment. EGT gauges keep you informed if the engine is running too rich or lean. Hours were spent on a chassis dyno and on the track dialing the car in. If you love muscle -- this will match your desire! FREE SHIPPING! SHIPPING IS PAID BY SELLER!

Price: US $110,000

I wonder how much of that price is attributed to the engine?

I like it!

About £55k in real money. it looks like a properly built car to me and if all the bits are true to form then there is at least 45k worth of bits in it.

I must get rationalising my garagewink Starting no (Chim going soon, TR4 in next year or 2).

Getting out of fast road cars - pointless, 2 races will be enough.

That GA looks to be SOHC not the All singing 24v DOHC job though.
