Nice save AXE!

Excellent detail Axe!



Yep, it was a TVR Tuscan in Swordfish. TVR is is british company that was recently sold to a 24yr old Russian for £15m (approx. $28m). They have just release a new monster, the Sagaris, 0-60mph in 3.7secs, 0-100mph in 8.1secs.

Great transformation but what the hell is it doing on Pirelli P6000s?! They`re a "comfort" tyre not a sports tyre!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone , and thanks to the `petrol heads` for filling in the details about this car. I thought it might be appreciated on here, the owner said it was his dream car to own, and before he made his money that was the car he dreamed about owning. Needless to say he made enough money to buy it (and several other cars) - it was hard work bringing it back, I think I reached the limit of what a PC can and can`t do on this car!



Oh yes, and name of the car came from the originator Trevor Wilkinson, I think based in BlackPool ... TreVoR Wilkinson

I had a trip around the lakes in a 500 with some extras from the racing scheme.



At the time my Cosworth (280bhp) was my daily drive, 1st gear seemed similar but in 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the TVR were mind bending ...



Nice detail by the way !

The TVR`s are the only british cars that I would ever consider to buy.

What about a Noble? Ok, the Noble chassis is put together in South Africa but it is considered a British car.



Oh yeah nice detail!:xyxthumbs

The chasis is actually built here in the UK, it`s the firbreglass tub that`s made in South Africa. And I`d take the Noble everyday of the week - they`re actually engineered, rather than just bolted together.

I knew something was made in South Africa. They use twin turbo charged Ford engines, right?



I have read a couple of reviews of the Noble. It appears from the articles that it would be an awesome fun car.

[benpocock]

Yep it`s a 3 litre twin turbo Ford lump. I`ve driven a Noble and they are absolutley fantastic, one because of the noise they make, and two because they stick like $hit to a blanket
