Thanks

If you like that sort of colour, there is a very fine car for sale owned by Phazed.

I'll contact him, what appealed to me about this was the colour and interior colour the outriggers I have new gaz golds on mine that I could put on this and I'm pretty sure my cam needs changing but I have not had that checked out. I would need to sell mine before or quickly after the new purchase.

That's a damn good price for that car (it's in the classifieds) unless the engine really is shot after 101k miles. Bit of money spent on it: Afterburner rear lights (but not the gawdy type), clear repeaters, wheels just done and yellow calipers. Probably no PAS though.

N.B. I won't put a link in case it makes it easier for it to be poached from you. It's happened in the past!

Hi phased, the car does look in fine order unfortunately the colours aren't to my taste no offence. I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

Do I stick with what I have and spend money on it abit at a time? Needs outriggers pretty soon and may do it over the winter, I don't really like my interior and the roof although new needs fitting properly. The paint work in ok but will need sorting in few years. Would love more power. If I brought the above for a good price I wouldn't have to do chassis or paint. But would think the engine would need doing. Which is needed on mine but not urgent.

I have had done full re bush of chassis and gaz golds fitted and a full de cat,

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Rob

It's ok mate, you have it I was only half arsedly thinking about it anyway. I have a pretty decent car to start with just needs making better. Plus it's the other end of the country from me.

I'm toying with the idea but already have two really nice TVR's so probably shouldn't be!! I really fancy a Chim but my wedge would need to go. I have a really nice Top Boss prepared Cosworth S that I just couldn't part with (unless the right car came along ;-))

I was just trying to save some cash and work but have already spent money on the one I have so not sure what to do. Also if this has been sprayed what standard has it been done to also the same with the outriggers at least if I do the one I have I will know how good it is.

It is cheap but I only gave 6500 for mine on an N plate, 59k miles but no out riggers done and it has a nasty navy interior.
