It must be an incredibly difficult decision where to pitch this model. On the one hand you want clear model differentiation, but at the same time you want a higher volume model, but there's also an incredible expectation of technology and performance.

Exactly :-)

Gonna be £60-80k, so more like $100k?

Any sad feelings about the full tarmac course certainly fade away when you see this!

It's an all carbon fibre body. The chassis is stainless steel tub & spaceframe.

One of the main reasons for the auto box is that it eliminates one of biggest engineering headaches of putting a fwd drive-train in a mid mounted car - the gear linkage. The transverse layout is a complete nightmare to produce a decent feeling/operating shift and by using a change by wire option they save a bucket of…

I drove a ForTwo for 3 years in the UK, but a post 2008 model. Things were drastically improved in that update & although the gear box is stupid in automatic, switching to paddles changing manually really improved things, especially once you'd figured out the best throttle position for changing (50%ish for upshifts &…

Was this car raced in the year where the Bentley crew all dressed in 1950s style gear in "Bentley Blower Boys" style?

This one is particularly pleasing.

Wow. Just so much fail compressed into such a small amount of time!

Also good to see fello participants with good passing manners too.

I spend at least 50% of my classifieds browsing time looking at S2 V8s :-)

There are a couple of companies in the UK who are working wonders with the engine. These guys guarantee 380 at the wheels and give a 5 year warranty, so force is strong with this one still.

Can't find anything about it, was told by a contractor I know who was working there at the time. They were sorting out JIT at the time, so these troubles might be behind them. But they operate on a shoe-string budget compare to other marques so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't capacity to supply anyone else.

Not because wagon! It's an Aston, so because estate!

What what I can gather, they have all the rights, so should be able to start producing official parts for the previous models. On a sunny day TVRs are still quite a common sight in the UK & many of the old dealers live on as independents. As far as dead brands go, TVR didn't really hit the big time with exposure until…

Luckily, this doesn't apply to companies who operate under the low-volume type approval (500 per model per year max).

In Britain it would be:

It would be good, but Jag have trouble supplying themselves with these engines let alone selling them to another company.

There was a Marco dealer in the village in which I went to school. I'd love to see them back again. They were so close last time, they just forgot to sell any cars.
