Formosa GR120

Beautiful body. But I have to question the wisdom of putting it on 60 year old mechanicals. Kind of like where our hobby was in 1990-2000, with shortened pans and 1600 Type 1s.

You can buy a brand new TVR frame from a number of UK suppliers and power it with any number of I4-I6 engines, like a 2.3L EcoBoost. This one is from Matt Smith with a BOP/Rover 216 V8.

But I guess that would put it into VMC Speedster price range.

That may be one of the coolest cars ever. £29,500.00 is $37,736.10, as of right now. Plus shipping, plus customs, plus the hassle of trying to register it.

Don't care. Totally worth it.

Thanks for the link, @Kevin - Bay Area!

True Story, "Beautiful body". ...a comment made by a young md, he really got in trouble, as he should.

I doubt it would be any harder to register than any other 25+ year old import.

I wonder when we’re going to start seeing these show up on BaT.

If I had the wherewithal to build a kit in me, I’d do one of these or an Exocet.
