About to buy V8S but......
Discussion
After about three years of hesitation, I''ve finally decided to go ahead and buy my dream car - a V8S.
One terrible thought comes to mind though : will it fit into my garage. My previous motor, a Carrera 3.2, just made it in at 4290mm long and its 1650mm width was well inside limits.
Can anyone tell me how long and wide a V8S is. Fingers crossed.
Thank god for that!
If it had been too big to fit in my garage then it would have been game over and there's no car I want besides a TVR.
My only worry now is how my neighbours will react to a noisy burbling car.
Anyway, it's time to start the hunt. I'm thinking of buying privately since in my (not huge) experience, you can get a bargain if you're patient. The idea is to check out the car myself and then, if I decide on one, to put it into a tvr specialist for a more thorough check-over before I buy.
Sounds like a beast of a car for sure. The reason I like the V8S so much though is because it's slightly understated and 'classic' looking. A chimp or a griff is a bit more in yer face.
From the sounds of it, your V8S is not so, er, subtle ;o)
I'd love to find a V8S in good nick though, it's a car I plan to keep for a long time.
