I actually spotted that a short while ago and thought about posting it....but forgot

Looks like it could be fun, although if I was the buyer, I would remove all that max power shite and keep it as a complete sleeper

You gotta love this question

Currently at £1700 quid. Assuming the engine is OK and the calipers/discs are good it could be a cheap way to some decent spares.
Plus you could probably sell that spoiler to some Saxo chav for near enough that

330ps from a 4ltr with nothing more than a race cam annd flowed heads and exhausts. Slightly dubious it has to be said

[jagdpanther]

The power figures Im guessing to be way off

LOL at the Saxo Chav

This car is totally mental and was custom made purposely for very fast road, drift and drag racing, when the engine was first put in the car did low 13's at our local drag strip and that was on standard 15 inch wheels and with a full interior, on another occasion we came onto the toll road ( Drifting around the on ramp) where a yami R6 went flying past and was caught within a mile much to the bikers dismay @ 155 in fourth with another gear still to go.

Seller also said:

The engine was fully re-built before it was fitted into the car, this car is totally solid with no rot anywhere, Fitz @ Top Boss was going to either twin turbo or supercharge it where he predicted it would be making 600-800bhp with notrious on top of that. The car is currently running 360bhp+, did try and have it rolling roaded when it was looking standard and on 15 inch wheels where it wheel spun off the road @ 330bhp twice and the engineer said he wouldn't run it anymore unless bigger wheels where fitted....

Pub chat anyone?



ps.....what the hell is notrious??????

Notrious BIG

So he can magically double the power of an engine just by being "on top of it"???

Exactly what I thought! Bit of fun I guess though, I was a bit bored at work, it cheered my day up no end!

[stainless_steve]

I think more people need to mail him

It was me who asked how he'd achieved that.

One of the funniest ads I've seen on ebay for a while.

Oh, come on, this is the best bit of the whole ad! A slightly tuned Rover catching a Yamaha R6 - please! The very fact that he caught him doing only 155mph would mean the biker wasn't trying if there is any truth in the story at all.

In this case I suspect that 'rarity' is not a positive selling point.

It is rare that I step in dog sh!t and then walk it all over my living room carpet.

The rarity of this act would not make me leap at every opportunity to do so.

The TVR engine is a desirable mod....but best to start with a good shell as opposed to a scrapyard refugee with a bodykit flung on ... I would suggest it was only worth £600-£700

They do look good done right though...
