Buying a TVR would be suicide wouldn't it?

Especially if you bought this one!

That car is just stunning, but probably instant death as soon as you plant the throttle

SaBBz · 8 Dec 2006 at 08:14

Wonder if it comes with the ladies

FakeSnake · 8 Dec 2006 at 08:27

I have to say that is the ugliest TVR I have ever seen. Race car for the road it may be, but no, just no.

Love that car so much, totaly amazing!

Shocked they made so few though, i was under the impression it was a run of 100 at least.

If I remember... The Passenger seat was an optional extra!, and (if it was opted for) the passenger got a grab handle on the dash to hold on to!..

If I won the lotto on saturday!... I'd be back to the auction like a shot!!.. :cool:

An interesting alternative to the Electric chair or Hanging I suppose

kefkef · 8 Dec 2006 at 09:09

Lovely car. If only he took paypal......

:cool:

WOW! that is one amazing car, fingers crossed for lotto tommorow here!
I remember evo magazine attempting to drive it a while back!

D4VE · 8 Dec 2006 at 09:21

Good time of the year to get one of them

mark66 · 8 Dec 2006 at 09:25

What do you guys reckon the reserve has been set to?

I notice the magazine clip quotes "£2 Million TVR"!!

EddScott · 8 Dec 2006 at 11:32

I read an article regarding this car and IIRC one of the guys in charge at the time drove it home as a mini test.

Got home, rang the others and said "We can't build this car for the general public"

Or words to that effect.

Pfffft. I'm a good driver. I can handle it. You definitely won't hear of me slipping on 'diesel' in such a contraption.

Lashout_UK · 8 Dec 2006 at 11:39

No, because you'd die and never post again

Pajeh · 8 Dec 2006 at 11:53

Crikey its a monster, how can it be a road car with what looks like 0 ground clearance

It is ugly as hell! I dont understand why people will say that "chavved up corsas" for example are ugly with there big body kits on etc, but then they say they like something as ugly as that!

(I dont mean you personally Acolyte)

Because this deserves the silly bodykit

Corsas dont!

NathanE · 8 Dec 2006 at 12:15

I like how it can't go less than 12 mph, according to the auction title

Lashout_UK · 8 Dec 2006 at 12:15

Haha, it doesn't deserve it - it NEEDS it

All those vents, ground effects and spoilers aren't for show in this instance, just a requirement of the design!

Sabbz, thought you had better taste than that

NathanE · 8 Dec 2006 at 12:22

It's not a bodykit, it's hundreds of hours work by aerodynamicists to ensure the car stays on the ground and has ground effect operating beneath it.
