steve wilson Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 did it sell or what? Are twins not worth bothering with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 No idea, is it still on findit? I would have thought a twin was for the die-hard track day enthusiast really, can't see it being particularly nice to drive on the roads (althpugh I guess you could drive on one engine ).

Mark Stanton Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Don't think it's sold I think folks knew too much of its history on this boardroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Ooohh...I sense gossip. Tell all! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 After seeing a twin in the flesh I can say they are a work of art, certainly makes a VX/'tec install look humbled. But this one is probably not selling due to its a apperance...shame really, a good bodywork and interior would make such a difference. Edit, and a keen interest in keeping two B.E's well behaved!

timd Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 can't see it being particularly nice to drive on the roads Why?? Not much different to any other BEC, or straight-cut geared CEC for that matter, just a bit noisier and lots faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhawkins Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 The phrase 'a bit of a handful' springs to mind. How often could you realistically make use of all that power? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's daft really, I can't believe it hasn't sold. The price the chap is asking for it means that you'd have plenty spare to get some new wheels, seats and bodywork and end up with a fantastic car. Cheap as chips for what it is. (think you could buy that, a bodywork module, and various other odds that you may want for less than a modular build kit!! ) If that had been an option when I did mine, I think I'd have sold the CVH and bought the black car then done it up. Probably would have worked out cheaper in the long run.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stanton Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 The engines and actual work and stuff is fine - its just that they used an old race chassis that had its "moments" to put the car together. Would have been much better to have used a new chassis to start with when original build undertaken by Z cars. The one they done for David Jones previously was superb - utilising a pre-lit.

timd Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Ah right. I never did know the history of the black one. It was great from the passenger side though - a ride in that was what convinced me it was all a good idea! Believe the red one changed hands recently too, FWIW.
