Beauty And The Beast

One drives on rails, starts without hesitation, runs to the redline all day with passion, retains all its fluids,
allows me to hear my choice of music, accepts small change to keep it on the road yearly,

The other, well shes is just my bh, none of the above but.....I love her.........Its a male thing!!!

strange how small the tvr looks , very nice though

Do you think so? Head to head the 400 has really stood the test of time well, some cars, such a the Noble M400 have really
dated fast, radical at the time but dont wear ageing well. The Wedge the lines, especially without the big table spoiler, just allow it to slip through time with grace??

don't get me wrong I don't think it has aged badly at all . it just looks smaller than I remember . could be the pjoto

As they say.."All nice things come in small pakages"...Well thats what my parents used to say every christmas...Trust me it was no fun as a kid trying to play with an action mans foot..

The more I look at that photo, the more I am convinced that it's the wheels that make the S2000
look so much larger, reinforced by the fact the 400 wheels are black/dark in the centre...

If you look at the doors and windscreen for example, there's not much difference in size.

I was trying to image the 400 with the same style wheels - what do you reckon ??

Nooo !

The only wheels that look better on the 400 IMO are larger diameter and/or width of the same lovely split rims.

I was only talking about why the S looks so much bigger, when it's actually not, and I reckon the apparent difference in wheel size is what confuses the eye, nothing else...

I think what looks better is one of those opinion things, and we will never all agree !!
