Default New car.

Today I purchased my new toy, it was a “you only live once” purchase.
I have always wanted a v8 and when this one came up I simply couldn’t resist it.
It’s a one off in that it’s had a total respray from silver to mgr orange grove, it’s also had the original engine changed and replaced with a genuine mgr Svr supercharged v8, the car is a credit to its previous owner and I certainly hope that under my ownership the car remains in that very high standard that it is in.
The car is an absolute dream to drive, oh and that soundtrack is pure bliss.
I certainly intend on taking the car to a few shows this year and I expect some of you already know the car.
Anyway, some pics.

That's exactly why I bought mine. I'd lost both my parents within a couple of weeks of each other then not long after my wife lost her father. I thought f it, you've got to be good to yourself once in your life.

Have fun

I suppose it had to happen Dave. Always fancied one when they first came out. Now you have to come up to our first Nano Meeting of the year. Will have to come down see it before then.

Thanks Ian.


I now need to downsize so the project grey zt is my number one priority to get back on the road and then sold on, the tf we haven't yet decided on whether to keep or sell on, the blue one will carry on being my daily and the v8 will be just to enjoy.

absolutely stunning looking V8. i took a photo of it at the northern national meet at Eden Camp in 2017 and to me it was probably among the best few cars on show that day. enjoy your new car.
