JohnBlenk Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I will probably regret doing this, but after 5 years of owning the red beast I have decided to move on to a TVR Tuscan. I have posted some photos in the gallery under JBs Seight. The car was originally registered in December 2001 and has had 6 owners prior to my purchase in June 2011. It has now done just over 18k miles. The first owner purchased the kit from Westfield in 1997 and installed a 3.5 litre V8. The 3rd owner decided it wasn't quick enough and installed a rebuilt 4.6 litre from a Range Rover. The spec of this engine is detailed below. A rolling road session in 2014 at Aldon Automotive showed it was producing 270bhp and 300lbft of torque. As you can imagine with this amount of power and torque, the performance is incredible and I am always buzzing after a drive. I have a box file of the car's complete history, including original kit invoices, build manual and all MOTs. I have just changed the oil and the MOT is not due until July. I am looking for £10k o.n.o. I have some more photos, so if you are interested I can e-mail these and any other information about the car. My e-mail address is john.blenks@yahoo.com and mobile is 07738 347475.
