JamesD Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Did you see it tonight. Thats a really nice colour but i cant believe how much it costs Missed it, what was up for grabs this week. I phoned in for the Aston the other week, even made sure i was not on the net on Sunday Quote
Phssthpok Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Missed it, what was up for grabs this week. .....Pilgrim Sumo; built to the same spec as Mark Evan's car in a "Car is born". Pity they couldn't have used one of the better Cobra variants like the DAX and while they were at it they should have got shot of the obligatory screeching female presenter. Quote
steve wilson Posted April 1, 2003 Author Posted April 1, 2003 It was a pilgrim sumo with a 5.7L chevy.Perlessent paint job costing £2,500. Quote
Timo Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 whats the answer to the prize question What does AC stand for Quote
Fast Westie Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Perlessent paint job costing £2,500. Hmmm, Autobiography paint job on new Range Rover £10,000 Quote
Phssthpok Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 What does AC stand for... ....at the Automobile Show staged at Crystal Palace in January 1903, Weller Bros. Ltd exhibited both a 10 H.P. and a 20 H.P. Weller Touring Car. Within a year, it was decided to go into production with a three wheel commercial vehicle, the 'AutoCarrier' (from which the 'AC' name was derived) and thus in 1904 the business became Autocars and Accessories Ltd. The AutoCarrier was a great success and initial purchasers included Boots the Chemist, Selfridges, Associated Newspapers, Carr's Biscuits and Great Western Railway as well as many others. By 1909, the name had become Autocarriers Ltd and the logo that we know today was being used. In 1911 the company moved to the famous premises in Thames Ditton. Quote
mmmmdonuts Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Personally I didn't think the paint job went that well on the car. Should have stuck with the classic dark blue with ****e stripes IMO. Didn't see the whole program - was it a brand new engine they stuck in it? How much does a new 5.7 litre V8 cost anyway? Quote
Nick M Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 How much does a new 5.7 litre V8 cost anyway? Depends where you get it from, but you can buy a fully dressed Chevy or Ford V8 here for less than $3,000. They're called "Crate" engines, i.e. they come in a crate ready to be installed. They're all recon jobs, and some are better than others, but good ole Merkin muscle is pretty darn cheap !! Quote
Phssthpok Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 How much does a new 5.7 litre V8 cost anyway ....if my capricious memory serves me well, I think Pilgrim are punting their dressed 5.7 litre jobbies out for about £6000+Drat Quote
Nick M Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 How much ??!! bl**** #### that's expensive !! $10K will get you a 750bhp full race V8 over here !! Quote
