Sorry peeps ; it's in dutch ... suddenly i fell in love as i really like the body of this car !!
The specs are incredible (0-70 in 5 seconds jummy) and also very nice indeed ; IT'S AFFORDABLE !?!?

This one would come down to around 7500 pounds

Do you Englishmen like this car from the homeland ? Or have these cars been known to break down alot or how's the wear and tear on it ?

Cheers everyone , help me out of my possibly jumping into the next moneypit !?:evil:

BIG running costs, and looks dated... guy at work had one

 

[franx]

....... are they moneypits ?

 

[franx]

BIG running costs, and looks dated... guy at work had one

and when having it as a second car + getting a different insurance to lower costs ?

so not everyday driving i'm talking about and yes with the occasional thrashing ofcourse

what are the probs with this 354 bhp beauty ?

Imagine this slammed a bit , on bigger wheels ...

(im 36 ; maybe i'm having a midlifecrisis , me liking the outdated )

 

[Justin]

yeah. £600 a service roughly! went through tyres quickly aswell

 

[Justin]

if its a second car, then maybe not too bad, but you still need to service it, insure it etc.. jump over to pinstonheads, there is a good tvr section there, those guys might be able to help you out!

 

[franx]

thank you for helping me dream on about this next moneypit mate ; i'm going to have a look on Pistonheads !

Maybe even cheaper for me to import one myself:approve:

Looks less atractive today... loads of em for sale which i dont like.

thinking they are also possible rust-buckets

still hope to take one out for a spin around the block (when allowed) to see how the handling is

 

[Dan@SJM]

they're mainly fibreglass so not a risky rust bucket!!

sound is p**n though!

 

[Waitey]

lol @ £600 for a service. Our local specialist will service and underseal one for £300

 

[Justin182]

My uncle had one, what a sound !

 

[franx]

want a good car, not a car that makes a supernice noise ...when it even runs.....

i've gotten wiser ; the later tuscon models 2002 etc. are the ones to have ; supposed to be nice + reliable

affordable and sexy also

anyway, i think this will be nicer when my hair has gone a bit grey



i'm seriously watching these cars though.. great performance and can't beat the v8 sound :evil:
