Still not convinced it will sell in sufficient numbers if it's anywhere near £100k.
Don't loose sight that Cosworth are only mapping the car with different exhaust and possibilly intakes. The crate engine is less than £10k.......there's only so much you can ask for it IMHO.
If it's as good as I've been told, it'll fly out of the shop.Don't loose sight that Cosworth are only mapping the car with different exhaust and possibilly intakes. The crate engine is less than £10k.......there's only so much you can ask for it IMHO.
And all of the (so many here) doubters will have to eat their words.

Edited to add the price proffered by Les a year ago was £55-85k call it £70k +/- £15k a fair margin to work within with near zero inflation since.

One is a picture a British two seater sports car, one is a picture of an image of what a two seater British sports car is expected to look like.
Just saying..
I thought the link was because neither were available to buy?Just saying..
Mind you, if the new TVR is a steaming pile of farcical pooh like the thing above then it too won't last long.
Does anyone know that the new tvr is actually going to look anything like the (Autocar?) sketch of the green car that keeps appearing whenever tvr is mentioned? I fail to understand why the same picture keeps being bandied about for people to comment on if it has nothing to do with the actual car tvr are going to release. Unless I missed something the only shape tvr have released is the mock up under the cover at the recent motor show and the black and white youtube film. Apart from stirring people up and/or relieving boredom (amusing as that is) I see no point in comparing this guesstimate picture to the actual unreleased car.

I'm quite happy with my steaming pile of pooh thank you. At least it exists and brings a smile to my face when I drive it, despite its farcical flaws.m4tti said:

A Jag lookalike with a cheap Ford V8 and 100 grand, do they really think they will sell any.
Errr yes. The F type is a gorgeous looking car so if it looks similar but more mad with Aero pack, side exit exhaust etc that's surely a good thing. As for cheap Ford V8, the heritage and history of Ford Cosworth in motor sport makes an engine as good as any Mercedes, Aston or Porsche in my book. Will TVR sell any? Of course they will. There is a gap in the market for people like me who want something rare and different to a mass produced 911 which doesn't get a turn of a head any more as they are so common.
