Whilst trawling through some old magazines - it's the kind of thing I do when I'm bored (more on the results of my tralw later) - I found this. No more detail but it was interesting because firstly I never knew Fairthorpe were made in Buckinghamshire and secondly, I never knew they ever made a 2.5PI engines car! I've never seen one of these in the flesh, looks interesting if a little slab sided. Anyone ever seen one in the felsh so to speak?

you think that that looks bad. I have you seen a TX Tripper - I will dig you out a picture.

I've seen one like that but strangely it had a Capri 3.0 V6... but a TR6 chassis...

They also made a 289 V8 but that I think had a modded healey chassis

Steve,
That's a freaky picture mate, bug eyed and with a fat arse, the car's not much better either!
