Whilst wondering amid the T350s at Chatsworth we came across a very clean example, colour coded wheel arches, polished fuel tank etc....


Anyway, I would like to get in touch with the owner.........is it yours? OR do you know who it belongs to??


Any help appreciated...




ETA, don't know why the red sad face is attached, I clicked the thumbs up!!!

Hi,

I had a brief chat with him. Really nice chap and an engineer by trade. The car is heavily modified by him and a couple of other places. He thought the build quality of a tvr was very poor so decided to improve it. Nice ideas implemented e.g. cooling, larger fuel filler etc. I did make the comment how often do you drive it, and the conversation stopped after he said 300 miles since the last MOT, lol :P. You know my view on driving a TVR, get it out there! Don't let it sit in a garage gathering dust, while you begin to grow a beard and lose your hair :P I must have been more grumpy than usual, not fuelled by a Chatsworth Burger smile

He was keen to talk about what he had done and the mods were very beneficial, well thought out and a credit to him. It would be good to get a summary of what he had done, as much would be of benefit. A similar scenario to Alex and his Sag, although minus the rocket launcher, ejector seat and lazer guns smile

Thanks for that Steve, would you happen to know the region he is from?


Might seem a bit cloak/dagger but I have good reason......

No, I upgraded the lasers to quantum temporal disruptors earlier this year. They make the target much more crispy tongue out

Spoke to him to. The fuel filler surround taking my eye..development and production at about £1k..also the rear diffuser modified and secured to the car much better.

Have spoken to him before at a show at harewood house...think he is from the leeds area.

Don't suppose you got any pictures of the fuel filler mod at all?

The fuel filler is a copy of the sag one but made with a 7 1/2 " radius curve on the top so it is the same shape as the rear wing.It was made using the internals of the sag type cap,the rest was made from billet aluminium.I also had to make the piece to graft into the wing from fibreglass and the fuel filler pipe to the tank from aluminium cranked tube due to the original not fitting anymore.Fills up perfect now
