Rover V8s might have been the answer 30 years ago but people converting Esprits now use Audi V8s. A small weight penalty but nearly double the horsepower that you'd spend £10k trying to get the Rover V8 to make reliably. It won't even be a decent TVR Power V8 either, it'll be some manky piece of shit (wow, a 'high compression 3.5!!!!!!') ripped out of a P6 3500 or SD1 which had 140bhp back when it wasn't fucked three ways from oblivion. outlaw118, Lacquer Peel and egg 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s how the saying goes. Maybe. I dunno. Thank you good Sir fingers crossed for the win. I believe the car just needs welding service and an MOT the fuse box was fixed in 1997 but the scorch marks still remain. I could do the majority of the work myself a pair of brand new sills are included in the sale so i was gonna ask @Ian_Fearn to do the welding but i believe he has fled the country after a disagreement with a lollipop lady.
