So if you had one of these, what would you build spec wise?

Id probably go as close as possible to the spec of PW's green 5000M

The chaps on the Classic forum would probably be a better place to ask as several of them have just or are building at the moment cars of that ilk

That's exactly what it is, a PW 5000M. Started out as one of my projects but sold it on when I moved to Houston TX.

Potential to be a great finished car, the seller and i had negotiations recently and i would have snapped it up if it had a Challenge chassis.

In which case we'd have built it as a race car and fitted a full race AJP8 - i'd even decided on the name ... 4500M

Alas it has been bespoke built to be configured as a 5000M and as Brian J states , that's how it should be built IMHO.

Well previous owner had to try and recoupe his costs so sold a lot of bits separately. We chose to get the chassis and body and clean sheet the build spec.
We have a challenge chassis we could put the shell on but the wheel base is that of a T car not the 90".

So would make sense to use the new lwb chassis and tuscan running gear. Ajp8 sounds like a good choice of power plant. Assume we could race it in the challenge series when done?
Cheers, Phil.

You'd have to confirm with Reidy, but i dont see why not - It's TVR shaped with a TVR based chassis and an engine that has at least one of the following attributes ...

TVR manufactured*/used by*/inspired by*/USV8*

In fact Invitation Class has seen MGBV8, Caterham R Series and the 2014 season will see a 380bhp ex GT Westfield with a JE Rover V8 - so there's always something new in the mix.

Best bet would be to talk to the guys that built the chassis about what suspension to use, jgr and brian
