TVR Nemesis, what ever happened to it???

[G9RGE]

I saw this years ago and forgot about it until i stumbled across it on youtube.
Does anyone know if it was ever finished or what happened to it.

Wow, those are two of the dullest videos I've ever seen! Thanks for highlighting them.

Indeed, I nearly dozed off they were so enthralling! Could've got the message across in half the time. I'd save any remaining videos until the car is actually either on a dyno, or on the road!!

Last time I saw the Nemesis body, it was sat atop a container outside Austec gathering mould. Part of the engine are in the reception, and I think the owner gave up or ran out of money??

Phoenix body not Nemesis?
I think the owners income stream changed and he is in a place where he is unable to communicate?

Ah yes, got my Cerb projects mixed up.. What was the Nemesis again? Can't watch the videos at work!

[Gazzab]

Nemesis was (is?) the purple one with a mitsibushi engine, different dash etc.... Unfinished I believe...
Edited to say that it is blue not purple.
According to the garage that did the work it left them 4 yrs ago to go to the body shop.
It is currently circa 700bhp and apparently will take NOS and hit 1000bhp.

Oh is that the one with the Rb26 Skyline engine in with 4wd done by Zcars? Or is that another one still? I heard that one was for time attack and similar power

[Gazzab]

No it's a different one!

[jammy_basturd]

The Z Cars one was finished and went to it's owner in Switzerland I believe to do sprints.

Nemasis is stored near me, Well more like its wedged into the corner of an outside yard propped up by wooden palettes. Its sat there for years covered in rotten tarpaulin, I think a couple of ferrule cats call it home now

We pulled the cover off it last year, doubt the engine's any good, (twin turbo Mitsi GTO V6) didn't have any anti-freeze and we've had a few hard winters. Interior's had it, full of water and rotting, exterior has been cut about so much at the owners request but never finished, water has got in everywhere so pretty useless, its a right state.

It did run once but I don't believe it ever turned a wheel in anger on a road or dyno. IIRC it had side exit exhausts but just hung under the outriggers!!

It ain't going anywhere soon.

(Shocking shame that Phoenix was let-down again by another bunch of ....... )

Care to elaborate/clarify that Paul?

As you know Fubes the story has already been told on these pages.
My comment is just MHO.

Were you there at CREAM2005 ?

[FUBAR]

Nope, never made CREAM.

Best get the facts from the written history and use the search engine rather than an old, biased git.
