RE: Bargain V8 sports cars | Six of the Best
Discussion
I always wanted a marcos V8, but the adjustable peddle box didn’t adjust enougt 😁
My TVR chimera 500 was good but what I call a 1hour car, as then you want out…..heat soak, exhaust fumes and perhaps a sleeved exhaust was too much.
Ferrari mondial T is a relative bargain v8 mid engine Ferrari if you see the appeal, I did, lived it.
Currently have a R171 SLK55 as I wanted the F1 looks. Was meant as a cheap fun car stop gap…..2+years and live it. Dynamically it has no hope of seeing which way a boxster went, but I don’t care, the sheer violence of the thing is beguiling.
Had a Westfield Seight…..I am still alive…. Now that was frightening
Had a Morgan aero 8, that was a wonderful v8 GT car…..bargain perhaps not.
Jag I drove, respected and liked having lots in reserve when overtaking, but everyone I know with one has had issues. Real shame as that is a bargain.
Vet is not for me.
Had a few v8 kit cars…….perhaps not as good as the sum of their parts.
Want a Lexus LC500 at the moment.
