TVR- - - - - LAND ROVER

[itsallyellow]

Sound like theres a few nice motors out there. We should organise a track day! Now that would be different. 7 or 8 Green ovals hitting the track! Ive heard the l322's can be quite stable through the twisties!!!

Me too. Cerb 4.5LW and the missus Freelander (I have to mention that the Cerb got the missus out of trouble when the Freelander head gasket went, I thought that was quite funny).

I have for the last 9 years,390se and classic 3.9seVogue, then griff 500 and LWB 4.2(kept the 390 as well for a year, 3 V8s !) and now another Griff 500 and a 4.6HSE. Really quite different cars !

[Yellow Griff]

And us

Tuscan S Convertible and a 1988 v8 90 Hard Top (plus an Impreza P1)

Scarily the Landy is the least economical vehicle we own - although it does give the local Boxster and R32 drivers a bit of a shock

When I bought the Chimaera it was the most economical car I'd ever owned

and me TD5 and S3

As well as Tuscan Challenge/Disco 4.0 combo ,i can also lay claim to Chim 500/Landy 90 TurboD , and the Old Man's got a Rangey.

Have i won the "Bloke most likely to break down" title yet ? .

Edited to add -lest i be judged disrespectfull to both marques- Truly all the above have proved exemplary in their different roles - none have ever broke down on me or had serious faults.

Job's a good 'un ..

Griff 4 litre pre-cat and a Disco 2 V8 ES here - the goal is to replace the Passat Diesel with a Jag in time and run an all British fleet!

Fantastic idea! (speaking as the owner of a soon to be silly engined disco)

I am sure that Graham could sort this out for us.

Even more interesting, who has a 4 wheel drive TVR or a TVR engined LR?

My JE range rover engine is built to a very similar spec to a chim 500. But with a supercharger thrown in for good measure

Is it JE Eng or JE Dev?

Never had the pleasure of working for JE Dev but worked for JE Eng a while back, did a rather special blown engine for a mad russian...from memory it made 320 ft/lb at 1500 rpm, peaking at just a smidge over 440 ft/lb.
Enough grunt to stick the passengers to the rear windows!
