The Saggy is the motorshow/press car with all the vents and a proper opening bonnet, belongs to local hero Bob Pepper,who also bought along the road-going Tuscan racer(ex Colin Blower car).He also owns an S1 Vixen twincam race car but couldn't bring that as the gearbox was locked up.Couldn't put the Saggy on the rollers unable to strap it down but did have a go with the Tuscan,Awesome!

Not sure how many of the attendees would really want their dyno measurements posted!? (especially the RV8 owners like me )

Drastic measures might me needed. PM me and I'll gladly fill you in...

I'll second that, they set up my Westy last year. Excellent service and sponsors of the Cornish Speed Championship again this year so they're putting a bit back in too!

Urrmm the S6 was also down on predicted power.

The Cerbs though, one a Track Car Solutions 4.5 and the other a Red Rose 4.5 both made over 380bhp....at the wheels!

at the PH rr day earlier this year every single TVR was down (considerably) on factory stated figures both at wheel and the guestimated crank figures

We are just 15 miles from Richards Brothers and you will go almost past our door to get there, fancy taking a close up look at the Murtaya as part of your trip?
Would be a good chance to discuss Le Mans plans over a cuppa as well as we would be very keen to meet up with some other PHers on the way down.
A demo run in the current blue demonstrator could be arranged if you were interested.
We really rate all the guys down at Richards Bros as well. Have known them for many years and they have always been superb.
Neil.

that'll be the red one with the modified front end then?

Top job there, looks much better in Titanium. Nearly bought that one myself.
