That's the one that i want. Lovely car.

All you need now is a TVR 5.0 engine swap.

[BLUETHUNDER]

The 4.0ltr is quite responsive.Funny enough they had a 5.0ltr Overfinch one.But i checked their site today and its now been sold.They have three left now.With the dearest being just under £20grand

Nene Overland at a guess.





Well that's what it says on the spare wheel cover

[BLUETHUNDER]

Yep Nene.They have three left.Priced from £17,995-£19,995.

[BLUETHUNDER]

Im going to change the steering wheel for a smaller sports type wheel,as the wife says that the wheel thats on it now intrudes in to her field of vision.I will still keep the original.When i was looking for one of these the amount of rubbish ones i looked at before i bought this one,and the prices that they wanted was near enough what i paid for this.

How do you keep the chequer plate looking so good?

It looks terrible on my Tomb Raider

If my Wife sees me approach 'her' Tomb Raider with a brillo pad she will shoot me and feed the pieces to the dog

What are these like to drive?

They are the pre-Td5 generation and I had the impression they were very thirsty and a bit stodgy, with a lot of torque slip from the auto - ie lots of lovely V8 growl, but not a lot of go, without flooring it.

Would like to be proved wrong.
