Or a new beginning.

Have you seen the Chim that now boasts twin turbo and a moggy shell?
Cool as IMO

Reading the thread I don't know why he bothered buying the car he's selling everything off that makes it a TVR and he's going to lengthen the chassis, it'll be for sale in a few years as an unfinished 'project'. Sounds a right prat.

Looks awesome, but not sure I understand the point of starting with a Chim chassis - from the fabrication work here it looks like he could have scratch built something just as easily.

A bit harsh Dave.
Each to their own i say.
Maybe that particular tuscan is beyond rescue financially. Better to live on in some way than dissapear in bits alltogether.

Spot on! How about this quote.

"It's too bad to repair, theres a lot of stuff missing from it and they never floated my boat anyway. There a mad man's machine, they're like a car Max Power designed and retailed to the public. Nothing works in them and they drive like a garden gate with an engine attached in standard form."


Must be a weed tester or something laugh I guess his daily drive is a mclaren F1 or similar.

Theres much better bases for hot rods and strip cars. Shame hes over the water though as I'd like the engine out of as a spare to strip...

A shame ful end to a little peice of british motoring history.

What a strange thing to say when he's intending to build a 'Rod'. Is that going to drive like a Caterham then?

Sometimes great things come from mad ideas. This isn't one.
