LS engine TVR for sale ?
Discussion
Hi Chaps
Not been here for a few years, thinking about having another TVR.
Apologies to the purists, but what I am looking for is one with an LS engine around 500 bhp, tremec G-box, suitable suspension and brakes with NO chassis corrosion, has to be as convertible as is poss though.
I have had a Tuscan so not really into another, Chimera looks favourite followed by a Griff, T350 T possible as IMO it is the most gorgeous TVR ever made, pity it’s not more convertible.
Tamora is out as IMO it has an ugly behind.
Other option is a GD 427, which a love to look of.
Anyone have anything they are considering selling?
I have a beautiful original 66 Mustang to maybe PX, it’s the goldy coloured one in the classifieds.
Before I bore Dom to death with what I would like I thought I would ask here first
Cheers
Mark.

Speak to 'Rudders', he doesn't actually say that he's sold his GD yet...

You need to have a chat with Mac, op of above thread. Page 4 for engine bay and page 8 for pic of car on stand. Not an LS but 500+ insane bhp from a fully sorted turbo rover v8. What's not to like

Hi Chaps
Thanks for the info and potential cars for sale. Spoke to Mac re his bonkers Chim, but in the end I bought the car I had wanted for a long time a Gardner Douglas GD427.
Weighing 1015 kgs with 480 bhp of cammed LS2, performance is “lively”
I had a Tuscan around 8 years ago with one of Dom’s excellent 4.3 conversions, dam good car, but the Cobra is not only considerably faster it also rides and handles a fair bit better. Not quite as practical though

but it is a fake what is the point
The point is, at some point, somebody, somewhere will think it's an absolute steal and willingly part with £80K for a British car powered by an LS3 engine. I'm not a purist by any means, my Cerbera has a few non-standard features but the engine is, and will always be a 4.5 ltr AJP V8 Regards
