simonjrwinter Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Anybody seen this? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183234020009 Not everyones cup of tea I know, but right up my street M.D. A proper job has been done on it. Small car + big engine = fun Id be very tempted if it wasnt for a couple of points....the roll cage would certainly make it too tight for my Lardy ar*e, and the exhaust system is underneath the chassis which probably makes speed bumps (and most roads round our way) a no no Shame.

Guest Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Interesting! And the builder got an eye for details. The license plate would fetch a lot of money in Rotterdam! FEY and D are all in 'Feyenoord': the football club from Rotterdam! Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites

simonjrwinter Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Dont know why it says v4 in the title, should say v8! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Just a typo I am sure - dont think you can edit titles either ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stag powered Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Makes my stag engined TR250 look a bit feeble, but there is no way I could get that into my yard with the exhaust under the chassis. Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 We have discussed this car before, problem I can see is they didnt re-enforce the diff mounts and with that amount of power it wouldnt last long. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) A newly built TR4 V8 fitted with a period 2.5 Daimler engine passed its mot yesterday in North Devon and is now awaiting its registration documents and number plate. It wont be as quick but is probably more in keeping :-) Edited May 25, 2018 by Drewmotty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
