This is a nice one ,are you going for a V8 ? this even looks like a Ferrari,

Down tuned at 350hp can easily make 500hp

Going for a V8? No, anything but the V8

"this even looks like a Ferrari" - you know how to offend people don't you.....comparing an Esprit to a Fiat Coupe, whatever next!

I do like the look of the 3.5 Turbo charged purpose built V8

or the 2.2 Julian Thompson 300hp

They do call them the poor man`s ferrari

and a kit car just like the TVR (Morris Ital door handles)

Is it true the chassis are gavanised

The 3.5 twin turbo V8 sounds good on paper, but it's flat plane and was under-developed and suffers vibration issues.

No, they are galvanised from the S3 onwards I believe.

No mate, no Griff. I need to go down the Esprit route. That's not to say I would never have another TVR, it's just that I've always promised myself an Esprit and now is the right time for me to get one.

See you at the Breckland Lodge when I've got one then. What do you reckon?

Deffo, drop me a line when you've got it (or any time before if you fancy a blat in a quick Chim ) Cheers mate, R.

I had an Esprit and it drove like a go cart and I loved it. Still have a soft spot for them, I just wish they made the right noise. Anyhow, good luck.

Thanks Macdeb, I know I'm going to miss the noise for sure
