Cosworth Turbo 'S'

[markbigears]

Having a read through my TVR books came across the factory Cosworth turbo, where did this factory car go? Anyone shed any light.

Leebee?

I don't think so. Having seen his 'unfinished' Cosworth S2 during doing occasional work on my S3. Seen the 'new' chassis and engine. When finished (whenever!) I believe he will put the body of his old S2 over the top of it.
As for the 'real' TVR Cosworth S from Blackpool, I too would be interested in the history.
Cheers

lol, Andy, that made me laugh! No i'm talking about the 500bhp factory monster, not Lee's cosie engined S.
He still hasn't finished that yet? Crikey, he was working on that why back when I got him to service mine, and that
was 6 years ago!

How right you are!

Into his 'souped' up Landie at the moment complete with my old TVR steering wheel!!!!

I must have another word with him and tell him to get back into TVR 'mode' !!

that looks crazy! What sort of power is the 'S' chasis able to handle??

[markbigears]

I don't think it was a standard S chassis!

[Daston]

Yeah thats what I was thinking, would be interesting to see what they had done to it though

The cosworth S was raced by John Kent (Roops Dad), it disappeared for a while and is now in Italy (confirmed by JR last year when I was asking after it). It was looked after by Chris Schirle.

Thanks Claire for the info. Wonder what its doing over in Italy?

Owned by one of the old skool dealers as a private car, not doing much by all accounts.

To Clarify, Gaffer means a TVR dealer of days gone by, not a dodgester dealing in sociably fashionable drugs of the 1990's

I think it's the same nutter who drove his 'road spec' (and I use that term loosely) race Tuscan to the UK from Italy for TVR Gold Mania at Brands in '97.
