Fine....

Clio Ph1. Cat C, but I can't find any damage - it got fixed really well. Drives better than my old Ph2 V6. Silly, silly car.

Modifications mostly done by a previous owner - carbon bonnet, coilovers (make a massive difference), wheels, seats from a later Clio or Megane I think? I've changed the stereo, colour coded the spoiler, belts service and drive it!

Awesome car, looks ace. Very well done.

Quite the collection!

Only thing I'd change is painting the bonnet but other than that I'd love a go in it!

I’d agree, I have been looking for a replacement or considering a full colour change at some point…

But yes, very happy with my three car garage (C63 estate being the other one). I’m a lucky chap.

Road legal Porsche GT1 race car, so Tom Hartley Ltd says it the only roag legal one converted atm the moment on a youtube they just made. Love to do a tesco run and pick up kids at school (doubt it has 2 seats) in it.

I've never understood why TVR left the fake slats / vents in place.

Struck me as being particularly lazy, even by TVR's standards!

Wasn't it done because they found they were getting stones flicking up with the vents in place?

Crap made up by Clarkson, but the original prototype (owned by a PH’er) did have kind of open slats maybe?

Slats closed by the Russian to stop the potential of fibreglass warranty repairs down the years. They also took a few man days to cut out.

Woof. What a thing.

But I can’t remember which one is the good one out of that name space….

Ah ok, so more durable and not as expensive to produce, seems reasonable to me.

If that were the case, wire mesh would stop it.

Lovely car, I especially like that the vents have been made functional. I'd have to do something about the 'air brake' at the back though.

That is Tom Hartley JNR he is ok and it is a separate business to TH LTD, his YouTube channel is a really good watch and it is fascinating to see the work that he carries out on some of the cars before selling, it is also good to see him using real craftspeople in Italy to restore the cars.
