This might be old news to TVR aficianados, or even a repost. Looking for TVR 3000M pics, I learned of the TVR 5000M. Apparently this was a Ford 302 implant into standard M-series by TVR North America. However, what caught my attention was a later, more evil one-off created for Peter Wheeler. From what I can tell, it's an original '70s M-series, but given serious treatment. Plain awesome. Any wonder the old boy is grinning. ;D     Some video footage. The start is enough to get an idea of this car. :-) |

That's seriously nice. Love the intakes sticking out of the bonnet in the video, and the sounds amazing!

Motoring perfection  I wonder how long it was before they came up with that manifold layout? Went looking for some front on pics to see if it had Ferrari GTO style bonnet vents for that rad, but no.  |

Oh yeah, that as well. PHWOOOAAR. Given the power it deserves and it looks bloody lovely. Potentially a little hairy to drive?
