I popped over to a TVR specialist near to me with a friend last weekend.
The premise is normally to grab a free cup of coffee and then talk all things TVR with the owner and his mechanic lol. However, last weekend was slightly different.
They had taken a 250GT replica as part-ex for another TVR . . . so naturally we had to see what a 'cheap' 250GT looks like vs the real seven-figure thing
Pics should appear here if I have got the uploading correct.
The 250GT is built on a BMW Z3 2.8L so has plenty of poke. The interior is probably half-way there (if I owned it i would go all out with some 60s style leather retrimmed seats etc). But it looked half decent inside.
Outside - well, I thought it looked really nice! Heavy(ish) doors that shut with a certainty that a fibre glass kit probably has no purpose too. Nice details on the outside including the alloys. Side windows had the first-third opening sliding mechanism which i pesume was a real 250GT thing?
I'll confess to being even more tempted by one of the TVR Cerberas . . . but that 250GT replica really does look lovely for what I assume is a pretty affordable kit-car!
