Red Rose upgrade, consists of what ??
Discussion
Hello peeps, I'm curious to find details of the Red Rose upgrade. I've Googled it but all I come up with are cars either for sale or with problems but no real detail on what the upgrade consists of.
On the TVR Power site it talks about upgrading from 3.6 to 4.something litres, but I don't know if thats the info I am looking for.
My Tamora is in STR8SIX being worked on and they informed me that the brakes have the Red Rose upgrade and I have a Sagaris exhaust on my car ... so I asked them to confirm what other upgrades or unusual/non standard things were on my Tam.
So out of interest, for those in the know, if my Tam has had a Red Rose upgrade, what other parts would've/should've been upgraded too ? My car was bought from TVR Blackpool, belonged to some director there and aparently TVR did some "stuff" to it, it has the double headlights at the front like a T350 for example.
Cheers in advance

As far as I know the standard changes were bigger front brakes and a 4.0L engine. But with TVR the word standard can be a little vague. Some people say they have slightly lighter bodies and other mods too from the factory.
Can you post a pic/details of your car in case someone on here knows more about it?

Mines a Red Rose (from factory), doesn't have a 4l but a Blue printed 3.6 with an extra 30(ish) brake so 380bhp. It also has better brakes, bigger bore exhaust and a close ratio gearbox.
I think that is it, more informed TIV'ers will be along shortly for sure
See, I was quite wrong I think that is it, more informed TIV'ers will be along shortly for sure
Now you mention these things it sounds more right than my version I believe the red rose spec cars are mostly 3.6's. No doubt a 4.0 version leaked out the factory at some stage as a one off special for a valued customer.
Red Rose spec was tuscan S big brake upgrade and exhaust, different chip, ported head and balanced bottom end and allegedly a lighter body in some areas (vinylester ? saving approx 40kg from memory ?).
I have the S spec headers on my RR but this wasn't a standard option.

look for example for the engine update's, from 3.6 to 4.3 or 4.5 with a lot of extra horsepower and more reliable then the standard engine I believe.
