R100 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Maybe the cheapest V8 manual sports car you can buy. Thats not ment as a bad comment either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Ha har, nice one. I like it. By the way, its also on its way here and is going straight to KW Historics in Auckland for full compliance. I have already fitted a new engine and done some resto work under the bonnet so all good to go in a few months. I will dig out some more snaps then...

BigDave Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 They are certainly a good buy in the UK, until they go wrong that is! Also worth a few dollars more down here. I spent a fair bit sorting out the new engine so was easily convinced by the fellas as KW not to sell it and bring ti with me. I still dont like the wheels so they are to be on their way out once compliance is sorted. But love the car and it sounds fantastic now I removed the cats!! A few old shots... Then it went bang... oops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R100 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 That car is a bit of me. Love it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Before the noise... Then bring it on... This was just before I started getting oil in water and serious overheating. Bye bye bank balance...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 A few of the "during" rebuild shots... Was easier to just swap the whole motor, so thats what we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 gauges look sick...that is all that does it for me with this ride im afraid... would be sweet to have a fang in though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Engine bay and chais got a tody up while the motor was out... Had to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I love these, but it looks like something a lot of money could get lost in if it went wrong. Cut your losses and give it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 A few more randoms, when the new motor turned up... It did go wrong and yes it can get expensive. But in for a penny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizzl Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 i must say that with that chassis and engine set up it must feel like driving in a cut cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 No ABS, No Traction control, just lots of power and big brakes. They go very well indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Lovely! Is it a 4.2 or 4.5? Red Rose spec? I've been a TVR fan since way back... lusted after Griffiths, Tuscans and Sags for most of the last 15 years Nice to hear another AJP down these ways, they sound manic on full throttle!
