Saw it at TVR Power when we took the Tuscan down for a service. That car has had some serious mods done to it, not least the Cerbie interior - IIRC he was thinking about putting NOS in it too

Chap who owns it was really enthusiastic about the car, came across as a sound bloke.

Someone pass me the shotgun and pass me onto a better defense lawyer than Tony Martin had.

Yes, saw this car at pistonfest 2004 it looks awesome in the flesh so to speak. I think the wing mirrors set it off as looking rather aggressive.

Grouch.

Thats Greg's at Newlun Designs in Northhampton.
The car looks amazing in the flesh.

19" wheel on front and 20" on the rear!
The man certainly has a talent with body work.

Odd, he obviously has a talent, and it looks quite good!

those exhausts are no longer on it,the originals are in place.
the mirror idea is taken from a cerbera speed 12

thank buggery! it's a concern that he had them on for so long... couldn't he see they just looked wrong. the car looks odd anyway... sideskirts with a boat-like lower front...

3/4 view it looks mint! front end looks very mean, mirrors arent to bad, colour is great. Yep...id be happy driving that round!

Agree on the old exhausts though - look like trumpets!
Horrid.

I may have picked a prettier set of alloys..but then that may detract from the 'badboy' image of the car...

Its certainly a head turner! Most of the people in Parking Bleu will vouch for that. Here's the best pic I could get of it before it buggered off:



Yes I know its a shite pic but I was quite far away, and there were loads of people in the way, and it was moving, and I was pissed

Matt, istead of writting your small print disclaimer you could of just written that it was Le Mans. That term alone would have covered you!
