I was surprised when I did the test drive just how good the chassis was .
It is as good as most modern sports cars and better than some. Not bad for an almost 20 year old design. But it was developed as a Le Mans Prototype for 2002, so it should be good.
It does have a couple of quirks, particularly the steering which is fast and seems to wind up with lock. Couple this to a light back end and it can be "interesting"! The lock is pathetic, thank goodness for power steering!
I tend to leave the car in Drive rather than Sport when the road and tyres are cold, and always if the road is wet. Tarka has 19" Aeromax wheels and the choice of tyres is limited to Summer Tyres. With 18" wheels all season tyres are possible.
And read the threads on Sump Protection, the oil filter is a bit exposed....
Overall it is a delightful car, quick, comfortable and eye-catching.
I will only sell Tarka if I find a "better" Plus 8, or if I need the money: it represents 2 years plus drawdown pension money from my SIPP!
Photos of the car would be good!
