Saw this at Silverstone today: -

Anyone know anything about it?

Looked fairly well done, but not really to my tastes. Was half expecting Lamborghini doors and 10 TV screens ;)

Christ, that is an absolute abomination!

What possessed someone?

Ha my brother saw it drivin up there and he shouted at him out the window "what have you done to it" it looks truely awful!

[targarama]

I think it was done by the GRP body customising company who do things like Tuscan noses on Griffiths. They advertise in Sprint. Newlun designs or something.

I can't see the rear, got any shots? Don't like the wheelarches, and the front looks horrid IMO. I'm sure lots of people will like it though. Crikey, I'd rather have a Sagaris (and that's saying something for me).

In a word

[lundinoir]

Looks like TVR's are slowly becoming tarnished by the Max Power brigade. Won't be long before it filters down to the Chavs and mainstream modifiers. Then they will become indistinguishable from Saxos, et al, and driven in a style very much like those who drive BMWs and Mercedes.

Hopefully this process won't damage my cars residuals too much so I can sell it in a few years time and move on to another marque that hasn't been devasted by this undesireable branch of evolution.

This of course is a worse case scenario

Didn't get shots from the rear, only other ones I got are: -




You can kinda see how silly the rear spoiler is!

And the worst bit is, if you look through PH you will see another reference and pics of this car. It appaerntly was styled by the owner of TVR Mr NS!!!!!

I could be wrong, have a search and see what you fin

From what I was told, it was created by Newlun Design for NS... who has since sold it.

Not my cup of tea, but the craftsmanship is very impressive. One thing the photos don't show very well is the paintwork... there are "ghost" images of running horses on the side and a face on the bonnet...

[rev-erend]

Not nice..

I can't really see that happening, due to the high cost of running and maintaining a TVR - this has clearly been done by a specialist company to "show off" their "skills"

[hwassall]

This car was at Snetterton, not my cup of tea but does demonstrate that you can fit a pair of Recaros with harnesses in a T350. Now that is my cup of tea.

[Lurking Lawyer]

My god, that's grim.

I guess it goes to show that there's some truth in the old adage that money can't buy good taste. Eh, Mr Smolensky?

[martinp]

And its in this month's sprint too!!! (fortunately only a small photo of the front - not showing it's full horror...)

[marctwo]

Why would you want to make the most beautiful car ever created into the ugliest? These people need some kind of rehabilitation as they are clearly quite disturbed. Reminds me of that Women who had plastic surgery to make herself uglier in the name of "Art".
