Steering and ROSE joints

Conscious this is an A7 forum, but as like all the best specials, there are a couple of A7 parts used in the build,  hopefully I'll be forgiven.

I built this car  in the early 1990's after I rolled my A7 special at Snetterton doing quite a bit of damage to the car and some (which did get better) to myself.

The car was built from scratch. I did the pattern making and machining on the various special castings -bellhousing, inlet manifolds etc. and made the moulds and the fibreglass panels for the bodywork. The Motor is a 4.5 litre TVR Tuscan Challenge motor with 320 BHP and 340 ft lb torque; the car weighs 425 KG. The transaxle is a hybrid using bits from Renault UN1 and 369 units  and is fitted upside down in the car. I use the car for sprints and have done some hillclimbs in it -basically I have discovered that the car is a lot faster than me, but it is enormous fun to drive, and if I do tip it over it shouldn't hurt so much as doing it in a 7 with no rollover protection. here are a few photos of the car.
