Ah, another petrolhead.
I've had sports cars of one sort or another since my early twenties.
Peter Wheeler bought TVR from Martin Lilley and ushered in the era of 'Wedges' (280i - 450 SEAC), of which I've now owned 5 different versions.
Peter died a couple of years ago, but shortly before that he was racing a brute of a 'M' Series car with a Nascar type Ford V8 in it.
Here's a video I shot when they were sound-testing it at our club meet in Blackpool:

This one is me leaving a friend's house in my 400SE...

....Getting one of these next.... I like my V8s.
