I see what you mean Thom, we are very informal and you would not be delving into the management side as much but would possibly be able to work alongside our engineers on live projects I can still enquire if you are interested?
You bet I'm interested!!
(oh God, I think now I'll have to work at least twice as hard to prove I'm worth something!

The S specials that were built were a handful of 4 litre HC's, a big bore 3.2 V6, a Cosworth Turbo with Hewland transaxle and 11 2litre supercharged Rover V8 S's for the Italian market.

How many 4ltr HC's are a handful? I've got one of them
and I've emailed the question before to yourselves at Engineering and Dom at Power but not had a response yet (tell a lie I got a holding response from Dom). Any tips on finding out whether there are any other 'bits' to a car that were put in as part of the 'special'. Harry

Not sure as the figure that I was given was " A handfull" which I would imagine means that we are not too sure either!, not very helpful I know.
The thing is with updates they are introduced bit by bit rather than in one big go like larger manufacturers, more a case of when someone thinks of an improvement that could be made it is checked out and if it is ok it is introduced so it is hard to say.
So to cut a long story short I can't realy tell you, but if I find something of interest I will post it on the S board.

Lee,
forgive me for asking, but is a Tuscan R demo car available???
I'm coming over from Germany for the 6000 miles service on my aerodynamicly modified Cerbie RR on March 26th and thinking of ordering a Tuscan R, but would love to do a test drive first...
Maybe we could meet up for a chat...

PS: You can also send me an e-mail offline, if you like.

Christof,
At the time that you are looking to visit I would doubt that the Tuscan R demo would be ready for test driving, but there may be a possibility that you could go out in the development car although I would have to check as I do not know the situation.
It may be worth phoning Sue Stoker at the factory to enquire?.

Christof,
I'm going on a factory visit on March 26th @ 14:30 to see my Cerbera 4.5 RR being built. Lisa, Danielle's replacement will be my tour guide. Hope to see you and Lee at the factory. I'm very impressed with the mods you've done with your Cerbie.
Lee, heard that Danielle is taking over from Sue Stoker, is that correct?

I originally saw this car advertised by the same company back in March of last year, which begs me to think it may be an old advert. Either way I took it for a test drive and did some checking including at the factory. Although the car was very rapid, faster I would say than some other 4.5's I've driven I didnt buy it on the grounds that the story didnt add up.
A fabulous car yes but taken off the production line and built totally by hand to a higher standard, not according to the factory who have never built any homogloban specials. Only prototypes. The factory also told me that there were some 4.7 engines made but these have all been accounted for and none of them were yellow. Also the only +500bhp car they have had was a prototype with a superblower and apparently that blew up. So I suppose the answer is nice story but there are gaps missing, its also the exact same price it was back then.
