How could you post that, some of us have marriages to think of!

Looks surprisingly good if it has been outside for over ten years, hopefully someone will bring it back to life.

Sorry ......no....... just asking for a RV8 or an AJP for which it was designed. Can't be doing with those chevvy engines in what should be pure TVR race car.

Here here. There are enough people fudging around with the cars in a way that nadgers any sense of originality.
If you want a special, build one. If you want to go fast round corners, buy an Impreza.
Just my 'umble hopinyun.

Tbh...the RV8 would be my choice also, i am a stickler for originality, even the carbon fibre on my dash has to go!

Just guessing in all likelyhood, someone will drop a different lump in it. Unless they are true TVR devotees....

If it was me....i would go for the RV8, not a fan of the AJP.
For a start imo the RV8 sounds better...


So.....who's buying it?? 2 days to go!

It's not as if TVR didn't suck Ford's teat half it's life. I agree, no Chev bowties! Ford would be okay IMHO.

i guesss thats nothing unusual for TVR´s:

the factory already stored bare, unprotected chassis outside (so new cars could be bought with corrosion inside!!!) and this is the continuation!!!

nothing unusual, comparing the mentality of care and service of car owners in UK....finally everything can be sorted by a can of waxoyl..and the british mot will anyway let the car pass.

Aah that great Tutonic sense of humour again.

In all the pictures I've seen of chassis left outside the factory, the chassis were coated, not bare.
