No ABS, no traction control, no airbags. Just front engine, and 400 bhp to the rear wheels.

Oh I wish!

 

[Golfmmad]

I like the way the twin exhauste are positioned.

The rest.......pure class!!

Oh, and calm down Graham

Golfmmad.

 

[RGDave]

Both.

Me and the missus went to try a Chimera. I was too tall and she was too short. Got to be about 5.7" to 5.75", or forget it.

Not a fan of the sag. It always looks like the chav "barry boy body kit" of the range. Much prefer the more classic looks of the T350.

If I had that much to spend on a handbuilt car, it'd have to be on Wiesmann.

 

[Iaing]

4cc isn't a particularly big engine is it ?

 

[Imurg]

You wouldn't want to scratch it with a paint job like that - be a real pain to match it!!

Oh and Mid-life Crisis beyond all reasonable doubt.....

 

[fat80b]

I'd say do it.

I bought a Tuscan 3 and a half years ago and it is fantastic,
It can be a little hairy on occasion without the driver aids and definitely concentrates the mind when it snows,

Best thing about it - you can get 2 sets of clubs and trolleys in the boot and still fit the roof in there as well. Try and find another 2 seater sports car that allows you to do that.

TVR - you know it makes sense.

I'd love it as a toy but wouldn't fancy it as an everydayer.

I was walking past a TVR once, with it's engine running while it's owner walked to his drive and openened the gates.

I thought it was a bit risky leaving a car like that running unattended, it could be taken in 5 seconds.
The more I looked, I realised I couldn't see a door handle so he could have left it there all day and I wouldn't have got into it.

He came back, pushed the wing mirror towards the door and got back in.


From the advert

although i have it on good authority any possible paintwork it could need in the future is easier to rectify than you would think given its striking finish.

It might be easy for a good bodyshop, but it sure as hell aint cheap.

I remember getting hold of some of the first chromaflair that came out about 10 or so years ago. It was a Nissan colour that changed from magenta to copper, and was £600 a litre at trade price.

We managed to 'coerce' some out of the paint rep at the time and I sprayed a guitar and about half a dozen Nokia phone covers with it.

Oh mate, What a beauty.

 

[haplesshacker]

For those that might be interested.

In the hands of the Stig it has slayed;

Porsche Boxter Spyder
Merc E63 AMG
Lotus Exige S
BMW M3
Lambo Gallardo, and the Spyder version
BMW Z4M
Porsche 911 Carrera S
BMW M5
Jag XFR
Chevvy Corvette
Aston Martin Vanquish S
Porsche 911 GT3
Evo's
Dodge Viper SRT 10

And all for less than half the price of a lot of the above when new.

The thing is a thug!

Nice find.

 

[Spoff]

I can afford to pay cash for that... If I sell my house is there room in it to sleep!!!

 

[medwayjon]

We are in the process of building a Tiger Cat1 with a 370bhp Sierra Cosworth engine in, it will be the 1st ever done.

RWD, no gadgets, just engineering genius.

 

[viscount17]

just too, too vulgar - pure Essex

 

[USER1999]

Does it come with a pair of knickers in the glove box?

This is how I dealt with my Mid-Life Crisis. I was advised that a motorbike would kill me, so I opted for this and I',m glad I did.

 

[Oddsocks]

pure mean, a mate had a tvr for he's wife, they had it from new and after 12 months outted it because the thing was so unreliable. shame as it was also a sexy bit of kit.

Very nice photo. Next time though,take one without some old wreck someone's abandoned.

 

[Ethan]

I have never had any desire for a noisy unreliable motor that could break down or kill you at any moment.

Instead, I would happily take one of these:

For those that thought the last effort was to 'Essex'. This is what I'd prefer to have colour wise.
