I’ve seen loads of TVR’s recently, must be something in the air!
Safest place for it - it’d only be trying to kill the owner if it was actually on the road ![]()
A lovely looking conversion but keeping the original aero, inevitable with retro styling, leaves it with seriously scary levels of lift. The original 2.2L (iirc) engine in the 911 S gave it a high enough top speed to be at a level with almost no grip - as demonstrated to his F2 mechanic by Niki Lauda on the motorway at high speed by quickly turning the steering - it just skidded and kept going straight because almost no load on the tyres.
I am glad it wasn’t me to whom he demonstarted it…
I had a big valve 4.3 Griffith which is mechanically identical, just a different body.
It was reliable when I had it, the only limit was it had a high compression engine and some fuel left it pinking (detonation) but it was a fun daily, though my boss told me I’d kill myself in it.
Anyone fancy a little chugabout?
Fol#2 Lauren is after a project… ![]()
I had an S2, sadly sans Pasha, 20ish years ago. Was a very endearing thing, would have another if the stars aligned.
Still one of the best-looking cars ever made - nothing else Porsche has done since got near the balance of looks, especially of the early cars.
