The car was re engine, modified and rebuilt in 2009/2010 to its current spec. Since the rebuild I have had a lot of successes competing with the car in auto solo’s, sprints and hill climbs picking up main class wins and even a driver of the year award in 2010 with FDMC. Currently I am leading the WSCC speed series novice title and class E with this car. The car has run 12.9 second ¼ and Santa Pod this year.

dern Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Went to see this car a few weeks ago and sadly the gearbox had a problem during the test drive Have to say that to any potential buyers that Tom is a great bloke and his car is an absolute rocketship. Had I not seen and bought the Sylva while Tom was sorting the gearbox out I would have gone back and bought Tom's car (sorry Tom but the Sylva was too nuts to ignore). It's a great car put together with a lot of thought and if anyone wants a track car or a sprint car then this is a fantastic car to buy.

tcc21racing Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks for the lovely post Mark, I still can not believe the gearbox playing up......very embarrassing But at the same time I was so glad that it happened to me and not some one I had just sold the car too. Work has been manic over the last month, so I have not dropped the box in for a full refurbishment yet. However it is sitting in the boot of my tow car ready to be taken to Road and Race this afternoon I hope the Sylva is going well, it looks lovely and with that mental engine 400+bhp??? it must be interesting to drive in a good way! Again thanks for the post and I will look out for your car, if you need or want any advice on local sprints/events just drop me a line.
