Carried over from the Spotted thread...
Build one T9, anyone ever seen a car is born? that Mark Evans blokey built one and put a Chevy V8 in there, sacrilege! it did look sexy though as all Cobras do.

I like that program but sadly I only ever managed to follow the e type build from start to finish. Other one's I was interested in I couldn't follow cause of the way discovery stagger the episodes

Re: Spotted another TC'er or seen something special? Post it here...
I know what you mean, they always put one on then another after of a different series
he's done loads though, built helicopters, planes, bikes and classic cars. Not bad for a vet :bigsmile:

I've seen bits of all of them. But the 1 I wanted to follow was the 4x4 cause he went into depth on rebuilding the engine and dif. And I found it interesting

that was a good series and one of my favourites too, check them out on amazon they're all available on dvd at fairly good prices as well.

You can get them from Mark Evens website too, the last time I looked they had a twofer on.

The guys who built my 100R build these all time
...
This one has a Ford 302 Crate engine.
This is a rep of the original AC Ace.
You can have one built from about £40,000 to £60,000.

I saw a bare Stratos shell in the background, how much do they go for?
Who are those guys Loz? is that their main business, building kits and specials?

It's Talon Sportscars mate, their based in Loughborough.
Yes they build up kit's & they are also the build agents for a couple of company's, so if you buy a turn key car from a Kit car company, it's these who'll build it.
They've done a few of Stratos, the company that makes the kit was so impressed with their work they had them build their next demonstrator.
If memory serves me right I think about £40,000 upwards depending on spec. it's the man hours that contribute to the bulk of the cost & they'll also get it SVA'd too.

I've always fancied a Tornado GT40 replica, perhaps when the time is right (i.e I've won the Lottery) I'll get them to build one for me!
we can all dream eh!

So that's one Stratos, one AC Cobra & a GT40 to go. Would sir like them wrapped? :bigsmile:
Reminds me, I must buy a lottery ticket!
