Toilet Rolls to TVRs - Your weekly dose of automotive nourishment
Name a car that defies its age more than the T350
This toilet roll holder is genius. I love the logic of the ratchet. We do have some home renovations coming up but I doubt this would get approval. The toilet roll they fit to it looks questionable though, some of the comments are amusing “Wtf is this a 120 grid toilet paper?”
Car of the week đź’°
Can you believe the TVR T350 is over 20 years old? I’d struggle to name a car that defies its age better. For me, the proportions work brilliantly and it has performance to match, 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and it continues up to 175mph…if you dare. They’re available for just over £30k, which seems like a bargain for such a unique car with that level of performance. I imagine upkeep is, taxing.
Small screen scene đź“ş
The guys at StanceWorks have kicked off a Ferrari F40 build with a difference. This is episode 1 in the series, but there are a few episodes available to watch now. It’s captured the imagination of viewers because although the body is genuine, they are creating a race car with bespoke chassis and a different engine. How do you feel about that?
Hot off the press đź“°
This is quite hard to believe, but Jaguar have confirmed that as part of their transition to an EV only brand, they won’t deliver any new cars for around a year 👀 Their last ICE vehicles will be delivered in early 2025 and the new EV range won’t be delivered until nearly a year later.
Seen in the wild đź‘€
I spotted this Pininfarina designed, 1979 Fiat 124 Spider in North London, but it would like perfectly at home basking in the sun of the Amalfi Coast. Did you know that from 1982-85 complete production passed to Pininfarina, and it ceased being sold as a Fiat, changing identity to the Pininfarina Spidereuropa? If you answered yes, you need to get out more. They seem to range in price quite a lot, I imagine based on how rotten they are, but for a good example it looks like you’ll be spending around £20k.
