Thanks to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! posting this on my FB page I am not trying to sell a kidney. It isn’t my perfect TVR Tuscan MK1 S, but this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Seriously if anyone wants to buy a 2006 Pontiac GTO for $20K mine is for sale... To buy this! (I mean it isn’t but I would entertain the idea). I would DD this all year long. OMG yes!

A replacement Triumph 2.5-liter inline-six is located behind the front axle and was built for increased performance by Ted Wenz at Savannah Race Engineering. Induction is from foam-capped triple Weber sidedraft carburetors. High-performance ignition and exhaust systems were also installed per the seller.

God damn it is sexy! Someone stop me from making a great decision.

You see, I could buy your GTO, or I could go ahead and buy the TVR.

“A replacement Triumph 2.5-liter inline-six is located behind the front axle”

When a Triumph engine is a serviceability/reliability upgrade.

But it has a red interior.

No but they’re just as sketchy and unpredictable. So there’s a good chance I’ll have transportation at least 3/4 of the time.

Probably the same engine as my TR6. Just check the crankshaft thrust bearing endfloat. Should be pretty reliable. And pornographic straight 6 exhaust sounds too.

Or you could get a 240Z with a 2.4L I6, sidedraft Webers and have a reliable car?

My uncle had a TR3 and he said he could get about two hours of driver per hour in the garage messing with it :P

Well so far I have had my Healey for 7 years and never driven it.. Though actual hours wrenching vs owning isn’t a very good ratio.

British cars aren’t that bad.

Buy it! I’ll race you in my 2.5PI Spit when it’s done ;)

Someone else has mentioned crank thrust/endfloat washer. Beyond that, actually decent little engines :)
