I just cannot figure out a way to swing it. I would have to sell my TII and I am not ready to do that yet.



No joke the thought has crossed my mind. After I complete my FD engine swap I will wait a while till I am used to my new power plant then I might consider it. This is a TVR. It weighs like 1700 lbs. and has over 300 HP.



Here are the cars details:



1971 Vixen 2500 Race Car, Very well prepared and sorted SCCA Pro Solo 2 race car, easily converted to an excellent vintage race car, over $45,000 invested, Fletcher William built engine with 15:1 Compression ratio, roller rockers, Carillo rods, lightweight crankshaft, triple Weber 40's, Electromotive ignition, Aeroquip stainless steel braided oil, brake and fuel hoses,and fittings, Ron Davis alloy radiator, Accusump oil system, full tube chassis with full roll cage, Salisbury limited slip, 4 wheel disc brakes, Saenz 5 speed close ratio gearbox, Tilton double disc clutch, gear reduction starter, Salibury limited slip differential, adjustable brake bias, Sweet Mfg. power steering, Polycarbonate front and rear windscreens, Fuel Safe fuel cell, Koni double adjustable shocks with Eibach springs, fully adjustable suspension, front and rear sway bars, Lexan front and rear windows, 15 X 7 Panasport racing wheels with new high speed rated Yokohamas,





Very fast and well built car, NASCAR build quality!

BTW - I have seen this car in action it is really fast. I should be kicking my ass but the dude cannot drive very good.



Maybe he will let me drive it at the next AutoX.



Here is the engine:

I see he has 45k invested, but whats the price tag on a tvr go for these days? I know a guy outside of Orlando that knew a guy that had a tvr for sale, well a body of one. It needs a full resto job, but that would be a cool project for me to work on.

Jims5543 11-25-2002 09:22 PM

I can get this one for about 20k he is actually asking 23k for it but it has been for sale for a long time.



People dont like British / Leyland cars.

People dont like british/leyland cars, hehe, man i do!! Most people don't even know what a tvr is. Awsome car, i'd love to have it too. I'll have to keep that price tag in my mind for future reference when I am in the market to buy another unique car.
