the clocks are the millage the car has done, not the engine..

so if you get clocks with less millage on, thats techinally clocking your car....

Got a strong one there then!!!! 1 ltr is nothing in the speed six engine, so thats really good..............they all sound like that on start up, its only the latest spec engine that sounds slightly better!

Tuscan 1, 2002 like urs! Yeah, the first rebuild was under TVR warranty after just 6k miles - Replacement of finger followers, cams and was brought to Red Rose spec. Rebuild now is dues to worn valve stem oil seals but Im having the whole engine done this time as well as different cams, ported and polished head, brought up to 2007 spec etc Half the work will be under warranty but Im sure Ill be forking out for anything that isnt basic! Will be worth it for 400bhp+
