just collected my scimmy, loved every min of the 1:45 mins drive back from huddersfield and suprised a few people on the way

namely the guy in the bmw m3 csl PE53 R** whose eyes practically popped out of his head when i pulled over to let him by then graciously undertook him as he floored it

its got a few minor tweaks, tvr spec 4.6 V8 with EFi (specially developed by www.v8developments.co.uk ) with top hats cross drilled heads etc, willwood disks and fully adjustable AVO coilovers all round, with bias adjustment front and rear for the brakes, custom stainless exhausts with custom built steel manifold, she sounds absolutly fantastic.



needs new floor carpet, the guy I bought it from did the front but didnt complete it so ill get it all done propper and then think of what to do next with the big friendly monster to make her a propper retro classic GT car.

Hi,

Car looks great, saw it in Homebase car park Huddersfield, well heard it thought christ that sounds good and was a bit suprised to see a Scimmy. Exchanged emails with the previous owner but never saw the car in the flesh..Looks mega, 2nd best SE5 I've ever seen in fact

Can I ask roughly what someone would pay for a scim of that spec?
