Efforts thwarted by the search function ... again. Can any of you tell me what happened to this incredible machine? Where is it now?

Thanks,
B.

Hi Bernard, unlike the Classic Forum there is generally far less interest in motor racing and "highly powerful/modified" cars over here on the S forum.

Good luck with finding the car!

Mike.

PS have you tried the General TVR Stuff or Motor Sport Forums ?

I've just spent half the night wrestling with my dash surround. Somehow, reading this article feels like a reward.

Thanks,

Hi Mike
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm about an 8, working weekends not helping but job pays for all the work. Chassis done apart from the exhaust brackets and prop shaft, (prop shaft ready to pickup next week) paint and upholstery left, I am sure I will have forgot something before I finish.
Finished the roll bar last night, one or two welds to finish off before powder coating, die grinder bearings need changing first.

Is my memory correct is it a Lexus lump ? I see you have stuck to the auto box.

Hi
It is, I have a PCT ecu for the gearbox and a paddle shift system, auto box is something I thought I would try. At the flick of a switch I can drive normal, sport mode or off the paddles.

Alan,,
I feel priviledged to have seen your machine in it's earlier stages, I was really impressed by the imagination, expertise & quality that had gone into it so far.
It's going to be so tractable, powerful, & so very quick in a stealthy way,
I'm waiting excitedly to see the finished project. Awesome!

Hi All
Jobs to are getting few, Yesterday got the prop on, had to have one made, found a great firm in Leeds who made a fantastic heavy duty one for me ( don't know if links are aloud ) so will put up some links when the web site is up and running.
Today is all about wiring, I have been leaving this as long as I could but need to move it on now I have some help today.







Hi Mick
