Im new

[K-Bar]

LOL. First one made me giggle. 2nd one looks like an overpriced shitheap

Going to check out the mk1 gti tomorrow night

yeah man good stuff - that golf looks mint but be careful i have heard that the current owner has been fanging it everywhere ant it was really mint before he got his hands on it so maybe a little neglegted

still though looks pretty good and they are generally bulletproof

british cars aren't usually seen as euro. they're a failure waiting to happen all on their own!

Watch it chump

Accept the truth. Hah

4bie - Never passed a warrant first time. Cost me thousands upon thousands to get it to it's current state... which isn't really that great. So unreliable I bought a japper.

Trumper - since I've owned it, it's only needed a wheel bearing adjusting for the first wof I had done. 15 mins labour.

Also. British. I rest my case

Ahhh, the Saggy-Arse

Don Simon built that when he lived in jolly old England. I hear tell that the louvres on the front fenders don't go anywhere because after they proved to throw stones at the windscreen at 5674856478 miles an hour they had to block them up.

Me old man has a trumpy spitfire which we took in the narva targa tour, great little car, bulletproof toaster sized engine (apart from the headgasket)

They made some pretty good cars really, but I still reckon the answer to all of its problems lie in a 4AGE!

I mean, look at all the best Trumpy's, they all have an engine out of something else  Especially the stags, those v8's were so pooos

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be having a good look for rust too as it spent 8 years in england.

^Salted road = Fail.

Think the design was okay, quite advanced for it's time. Just poorly executed. Apparantly it's very common to find sand in the cooland channels from the casting process

[Reviled]

They just have such a bad rep eh!! Ive only ever seen one stag that had the original trumpy engine in it and as a result it was selling for about half the price they normally go for 

Rover 3.5l V8 ftw

[cammmy]

Would love a rover V8 in my trumper.

[Apex]

That TVR would be a real mish to polish, look at all those vents.

Do not want.

Aston Martin anyday.

Oh and also, welcome to fastfrogs.

The threads often get away on us. So does the phrase 'get away on us/him/her/it/me/them'

[cammmy]

Brilliant thing about that TVR. 50k pounds new. Can get one from Ebay UK for 35k quid. Thats about 80,000NZD. Not bad considering it's performance

Looked at a Trumpy once that had a 427 chev v8 in it... guy was moving to OZ and couldn't take it cause they had had to re-engineer the front chassis rails!

[gtistee]

ah the joys of a colour blind 1st owner.. wtf is with the yellow int on a red car???
did read along the way about a footie fan ordering one in his team colours which were purple and yellow..
