Hi Rich ,
Your right real rare car , his name is Graham Watson Taylor and lives in Kent .
lt's a Gen 1 series 2 and was the prototype for that model Elford Turbo it's still like new and he has all the proof ! l have been trying of and on all year to get him to do a write up on the car for us , l will try again .
Tim of RX Motors has the very first prototype Gen1 series 1 Elford but lt will never go back on the road as it's too rotten and badly damaged.
All the Best Clive .

talk about NUTZ, how mad and awsome are the Mariah kits, it would be nice to have a TII with that kit on it:D
£2500 just for the kit! quite pricey

What about this one?
Mariah kit with custom sideskirts, PLS wheels (15", 225/255 wide tyres), plenty of custom work.
By the way, Mike, my car is STILL at the paint shop :(
For those intrested: I have a TWR front airdam for sale, look in the "for sale" section. It's made by German firm Kuwe, but has TWR stamped in it, so it must be licensed. Kuwe used to make very special sevens, like convertible first gens...
