January Sprint Magazine

[MarkTVRchim]

Does anyone have an unwanted copy of the January edition of Sprint? My Chimaera is featured and I would like another copy to send to my father as it was his old car.
Many thanks,
Mark.

Give the club office a call - they may be able to help

If not you can have mine when read.

Will try the club office first thing tomorrow

I wrote an article for Sprint a few months ago and the office supplied me with another copy for the car's history file.

Brilliant article, really enjoyed reading that. I had no idea that amount of work had gone into that new chassis. Only problem is now I really fancy that new chassis!

I can't claim any credit for writing the article, all the great work of Ian at Sportmotive.

Looks an absolute peach of a car, well done to all. Give me one of those before any other supercar on the planet. Stunning.

[sportmotive]

Well, it is for sale.....other TVR part exchange gladly considered

Extra mag copy in the post Mark...

I drove it earlier this week when I dropped off my Griff for an evolution chassis upgrade.
The car has phenomenal acceleration and great handling and the chassis looks superb, really excellent workmanship and finish............ can't wait to get mine back

Great article Ian
Awesome chassis taking the 90's TVRs into the 21st century.
Definite food for thought. The seed has been sown.

Yep, really enjoyed the article! Ian, if you ever tire of fettling TVRs, I reckon you'd get a job as a journo for one of the prestigious mags in a heartbeat.

Great to see that the Chims & Griffs are getting attention from respected service people.

I'd add that I saw in Classic & Sport car a 1976 M go through the auctions for £23,600....Good to see that the auction houses are recognising TVR as a 'real' brand now.

Enjoyed the article here too - the thought and engineering that's gone into the evo chassis is absolutely incredible.
Great stuff.
It'll be very interesting to read peoples reports after they test drive one - I suspect it'll be like night and day compared to a standard 'sierra' chassis

Thanks Guys, I've been writing that article in my head over the last four years so a lot of thought and emotion went into it, I've been holding back from putting it into print until we had actually got a car on the road and proven with some miles on its back. I've also been promising Dave Hothersall the article since we started developing the chassis and have taken some stick from some of you boys over the last few years for my "modest" marketing (you know who you are!) almost building the chassis in secret and not wanting to release details until it was proven but finally Jon who produces the mag(www.onlinedesign4u.co.uk) pushed me into getting it out there and "bragging" about it and I think Jon's photos make the article, the car looks stunning.

Ian - custom sparkly red ones are still faster though...!

[sportmotive]

Hmmm I feel another LS install coming on....Steve?

[S11Steve]

You don't need to convince me Ian, but I think the other half would prefer the money spent on garden, garage, driveway, fireplace and en-suite. Besides, the engine is one of the few original things on the car!

I have a buyer for your rv8 just tell the missus that you are selling the rv8 to fund the new kitchen/garden/fireplace/driveway etc and just don't mention having to buy a replacement (double the horsepower) LS
