Car thread: TVR Tuscan

[dekerfintheshed]

Looking at the scumbag Stone Island wearing owner of the one in the ad'. wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Think they look like twats cars, for people without the engineering knowhow to build a kit car. Personally, I'd go for an old Porker with 15k, a proper one though...

£15K doesn't buy much old Porker these days I'm affraid. Prices have crept up and at that price you might find something that is outwardly quite nice but will probably be a little tired.
£15k buys a very nice 20V ur-quattro or the very best E30 BMW M3 though. Two iconic 80's flyers that are going to get very pricey over the next few years.
My choice for £15k would be to get a couple of the guys round, a crate of ale, a rusted out MG Midget as doner car, a 988cc A- series engine with a vane type Supercharger and a Westfield Eleven kit- lock the doors and get stuck in. Emerge 2 days later with a cracking little sports racer, that will scare grannies for miles around. Should make a tidy little profit when you come to sell on too- which is always nice!

A couple of left fields retro options:

Citroen SM.
Citroen DS23efi (almost as fast as the SM, better looking (IMHO), better reputation for reliability).
Mercedes-Benz 190e 2.3 (or 2.5) 16v Cosworth.

Well thats the TVR out the window now.

Mmm..

This is getting hard work.

See, an air cooled old porker would be fantastic- but you just dont get them for any less than 20k and the servicing is apparantly horrendous...

Budget is around 15k.

Boxers are a little stale and common.

Like Evos etc but its essentally a family car.

Anything around 70's Im not interested in - sorry. I'd feel like James May.

S2000 is still the fave I guess. Or maybe a heavily reduced r34.

Sigh... :cry:

You could try a BMW 840/850 Coupe. And with the 6 or 7 grand you have over you could run it for a couple of years!

But i would personaly go for an Audi S2 Coupe and you could buy something like a Type 3 vw with a hot motor with the rest of the cash!

This spending other peoples money is good fun!

Cheers,Al

My Seven replica has a two litre twin cam that spits a good five feet of flame from the side pipe. Cheap to insure. Zero practicality though.
