I assume he means "no rust on the TVR chassis" because that isn,t one. Its home made out some 1" square tube.

A dose of Hammerite will work wonders..
He can then advertise it as a part restored unfinished project!!!

He must be related to Spadge Hopkins - only the description is more accurate

I thought you might like her Richard instead of the Spa 6 hours you could do the Spa 6 weeks as you push the large shopping basket (case) around the track however the hill you might have to do it in stages bits at a time but as its in bits that should not be a problem

I was interested to see it's got a Jag IRS fitted, albeit (I think) without radius arms.

Not to me it doesn't.
In a jag everything is triangulated into a big heavy cage..When this is all stripped out then the fore and aft movement of the lower link arm needs to be controlled to eliminate tramp..especially with big boolers..

This car presumable has never been finished and is just an abandoned project that never ran!! You can just about make out the lower link arm attachment point at the outer end of the lower arm...No chassis brackets though!!

Yep, radius arms are missing.



Wonder what happens on acceleration?!

With that size tyre, nothing good. It'd either be expensive or painful

hi neil and interested p/headers, it,s my understanding that those radius arms are nothing to do with tramp. as the subframe is rubber mounted, they are sub frame stabilizers as without the arms the subframe would rip out, hence the very large rubber bush at the front end to allow for lateral movement of the suspension arm. it is not uncommon to jack up an old jag and leave the subframe assembly on the ground and wonder why you can't change the wheel!! if you wanted an anti tramp rod then it would have to angle across to align on the same axis as the inner pivot rod somewhere further up the tunnel. a lot of kit cars, cobra replicas and so on use that fixed diff set up. my only beef is that you get sonic singing when cruising along and there is no give when you drop the clutch. that aston dbr1 i did, i mounted the diff on metalastic bushes, for all intent and purposes it seemed solid, but just enough give for smoother driving. best regards keith
