Why are you fancying one??

Why not fit a TVR 5.0 V8 (from a Griffith) in a 'Classic' or P38?

They go like stink in a Bowler & like the Hounds of Hell in the Griffith.

And as for the noise..... :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :twisted:  :twisted:

a very good friend of mines father owns a DB7 Vantage 6.3 V12 and the sound and experience of that engine combined with 4x4 and then put through the Mud test leaves me near spent if you know what I mean :wink:  :wink:  :wink:

My ex-boss (where I used to work) had a Virage, DB7 & a Ferrari F355F1.

The Virage sounded incredible on start up, just like the Apocalypse was upon us  

On sunny days when he was in the 'Fast Fiat', he drive in from home (Scarcroft) & then minutes later go out just  for the hell of it to listen toit as he hammered it down the road at 7,000rpm :D
(this was when he first bought it, before he started going to McDonalds in it - he's a verydown to earth multi-millionaire :lol:  

No....
I'm still going to stick out for the noise of a big V8

I am also hooked on the sound of the V8  . But the sheer power of the Aston V12 is awesome
