Gordon's T33

[mjheathcote]

Lovely thing, designed for practicality for servicing, tyre availability, and luggage.
Then only 100 to be made at over a million pounds each.
What's the point?
Very, very few will actually be ever driven to need the practicality, or care too much about buying cheap tyres or servicing costs.
Lost opportunity for him to design something for the masses to enjoy. Well maybe not masses, a few more that might actually use them, a MC20 competitor maybe.

The something for the masses thing is the TVR.

Dario Franchitti has been involved in development...but has mainly been seen pulling smiles as he gives it some...

What ever happened to that?

In the words of a kid talking about Accrington Stanley, exactly!

Looks better than the the other one with the big fan at the back. They want to make it cheaper to run so servicing is around 650 to 1800 which they say is the cost of some normal cars….Not at my garage it isn’t. I suppose though it is the sort of cost of a Maserati GT at 1800 where as this thing is bonkers money to buy so yes in those terms servicing is cheap especially against stuff like a Bugatti when tyres are 20k. He using off the shelf stuff so saying you could see one at a Kwik Fit dealer…Yeah right…

Love it. I too prefer this to the three seater.

But it did leave me wondering why you can’t fit a toothpick in an MC20 with half an engine, whereas the T.33 has 285 litres of luggage space and a stonking V12…
