And what have they done with the front? Is it a Mk II nose cone?

Looks to have been well sorted?

Hi Blues,

I saw this on FleaBay and thought it looked sorted. The front end looks to just had a MK2 "grill" fitted maybe at the same time the owner got the front end resprayed. I think it looks much smarter than the "cheesegrater" and will look to do the same to mine when repaint time comes.

Certainly looks a credit to it's previous owner, and bearing in mind what it's recently had (Engine Rebuild with correct modifications, wheels, clutch, gaz golds etc etc etc) it looks like had good deal.

No......It's nothing to do with me.

Hello Dave

Looks to me like the typhon/ 440 grill.

Im in the process of changing my cheesegrater to a Mk2 and from what I can tell that one is a bit different.

I have seen the typhon/ 440 advetised on fleabay so looks like someone has upgraded. Looks good though!

Hey you can look at mine on another tunnel run or if not before in TL at LM wink

Hi m0ssy & Macey wavey
Thanks chaps, it does look like a 440 front and I do think it looks rather good.
Hi Alison, i'm not looking seriously... at the moment, but following this thread someone mentioned yours to me. I understand you have something else on the way wink Well done!!!

I don't think i could part with the supercharged Chim, and two Tivs would be just greedy biggrin

Hi Alison, I did happen to see your Tuscan in the classifieds last week. Seems a shame to part company, especially after spending so much on it to get it sorted, whoever purchases it will do well.

No dis-respect to Sags but I reckon you will miss taking the roof off or backwindow out! The weather is getting better! lick

Wow what a fantastic looking car! Ok, I'm rather biased as I've owned it for the last four years. biggrin

Front end is a retro fit (TVR Harrogate) 440R air dam for better front end stability and increased airflow.

If you have any questions please drop me a line - happy to help smile

Cheers
