I've seen it on the rollers at Surry Rolling Road, IIRC it blew all the Pork away that day including Brett's NOS 928.

That's one serious Cerb yes

Lots of money gone into that car, belonged to a chap called Craig before he buggered of for a job in Dubai (still posts on PH mind), believe he had it rebuilt as a 4.7 running about 430-440 without Nitrous (that's just from memory mind). With Nitrous it made about 505 at Charlie's, that was also running it at only about 50%. Proper install of that too, not some botch together cheap ebay kit.

It certainly is a lovely car. I sold it on behalf of Craig. I had it for about 4 months, lots of fun, buckets of torque being a 4.7, but those seat....it was hard work getting in and out of them.

Guy that bought it had never even been IN a TVR before let alone driven one. His first drive after he handed over the dosh was to Ireland from Southampton nuts

I'll let Craig know its around, last we heard it got hit.

I was just talking to him a few weeks ago and he never mentioned it was up for sale.
If I had a wee bit more money I'd buy it and keep it at home for when I visit.

17K Euros is about £15k. That's a lot of car for the money.
