Ultra-rare 1972 TVR Vixen with blistering V8 engine and with only 66 miles on the clock could be yours for £65,000

AN ULTRA-rare 1970s TVR Vixen is set to go under the hammer for just £65,000.

The eye-catching model has just undergone an £150,000 restoration and is just one of a handful of the S4 Vixen 1300 built on the M-Series chassis.

The motor’s exterior is finished with an elegant black with chrome detailing over a black interior.

The two-litre Pinto engine was ripped out and replaced with a 289ci V8 engine and boasts an array of impressive features.

These include a fresh steel crank and rods, forged pistons, big-valve alloy heads, sports cam and alloy water pump.

This car will be auctioned on February 22 at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, by Iconic Auctioneers.

“Project Heaven has confirmed that the current cost to replicate this amazing TVR would be over £150K,” reads the listing.

“The odometer shows that the car has barely covered 66 miles as of date.

“The car been upgraded with light flywheel, new alloy radiator, new Super T10 gearbox, rebuilt Salisbury 4HU diff, new Bailey Morris upgraded driveshafts, new rear uprights, new coil-overs all round, new vented brake discs and calipers operated by twin adjustable-bias master cylinders.

“It was also fitted with custom-made roll-cage, Sparco competition seats and Sabelt harnesses, GPS speedo, new wiring loom, and Turrino polished alloy-rim tubeless wire wheels.

“The car is a perfect companion for the open roads as well as out on the circuit.”

This comes as another Escort Cosworth with just over 2,000 miles on the clock sold for a record-breaking £200,000 at an auction in November.

The retro motor was one of the standout sales at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC, Birmingham – with over 100 cars changing hands for eye-watering sums of money that weekend.

At the time, the Ford was described by auction house Iconic Auctioneers as “unlikely to be surpassed in terms of its originality”.

While this Escort was exchanging hands for an eye-watering sum of money, we were lucky enough to meet Ford superfan Stuart – whose Ford Capri was one of the highlights of the entire show.

Indeed, Stuart’s owned 12 different Capris over the years, with his current Mk3 a particular cracker.

Speaking to Sun Motors, he said: “I’ve had three Mk1’s, two Mk2’s, and many Mk3’s, and I’ve got this one.

“Cut me in half, I’m Ford. I’m Ford all over. I’ve always liked Capri. I’ve always loved them.”

Elsewhere, an ultra-rare McLaren Senna XP, just one of ten in existence, is up for auction.

The powerful motor has just 47 miles on the clock and carries a 4.0L twin-turbo V8.

Plus, a glam 1950s supercar complete with a blistering V8 engine and futuristic magnesium bodywork has been listed on auction for £5.5million.

Images show the aerodynamic 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Super Sport or SS, in a stunning blue and white livery in pristine condition.

Chilling moment tattoo-covered cocaine gang kingpin is arrested in his pants by cops

THIS is the shocking moment a tattoo-covered cocaine gang kingpin is arrested in his pant.

Kent Police bodycam footage shows John Horn, 38, flop down on his sofa and scramble for a pillow to cover himself.

The wide-eyed thug, sitting only in a pair of black boxers, listens as an officer tells him he’s under arrest for conspiring to supply drugs.

A woman appears to walk downstairs as Horn looks up at police with a blank expression.

Horn casually answers “yep” and rubs his face when read his rights.

He was arrested in Ramsgate on March 21 last year after cops uncovered he was leading a group distributing cocaine.

Horn used fellow dealer Oliver Eyles, 36, to help manage his operation, which was based in Thanet.

Five members of the gang were dragged to Canterbury Crown Court today.

Each of the defendants had previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to supply cocaine.

Horn slapped with six years and six months’ behind bars, while his right-hand man Eyles, was jailed for five years and six months.

Meanwhile associate Joseph Shuttleworth, 35, will be caged for two years and four months.

Jason Tse, 41, was sentenced to three years and 10 months imprisonment for his involvement.

Finally, Christopher Palmer, 34, was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Nicola Emery said: “Organised crime groups are often run like businesses with each member having clearly defined roles and responsibilities.

“John Horn sat at the very top of this particular criminal network and whilst he rarely handled any drugs himself, it was very clear he played a leading role in the supply of cocaine to users across east Kent.

“He thought that by having other criminals do his dirty work for him, it would reduce the risk of him being arrested and sent to prison.

“Unfortunately for Horn and the other members of his group, we knew exactly who they were and what they were up to.

“This is a significant result in Kent Police’s ongoing fight against the supply of Class A drugs, with those responsible receiving sentences that will see them behind bars for a long time.”

US superstar launches music comeback with Matrix-inspired video as he plans first album in two decades

WILL SMITH is launching a major music comeback with his first album in 20 years – and he’s shot a big-budget Matrix-inspired video to kick it off.

The A-list actor, whose new single Beautiful Scars with rapper Big Sean is out today, turned down the chance to star as Neo in 1999’s The Matrix, with the role instead going to Keanu Reeves.

But now Will gets his chance to look the part as both he and Big Sean star in the video for the song.

The return to music comes three years after he hit the headlines for slapping Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars – and that is referenced in the opening scene of the video.

Referring to the slap and his decision not to play Neo, Big Sean, tells him: “Look, you’ve made some awesome career choices your whole life. There’s only one you truly regret. Well maybe two, but we’re not going to focus on that one.”

The rap song, with brilliant production, touches on mistakes and the pitfalls of fame, and will appear on Will’s album Based On A True Story which is due for release in March – two decades after his fourth album Lost And Found.

He topped the singles charts in 1997 with Men In Black and scored a total of ten Top Ten songs, including Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It, Miami, Wild Wild West and Will 2K.

Before that he had a string of other hits as The Fresh Prince with DJ Jazzy Jeff, such as Summertime and Boom! Shake The Room, which reached No1 in 1993.

We know he can act, but I’m more excited to see what he does in music this time around.

Bella loves freeze frame

Alongside the snaps, she wrote on Instagram: “Wrap yourself in nature and love, no matter where you wander this winter.”

That’s all well and good, but I still hope she packed some thermals.

He said: “This past year has been huge for me with my records getting love from all over the world and now I can celebrate with my friends and fans in London.”

Rounding out the announcement is confirmation that former Little Mix star Jade will perform at the bash, after we revealed this week she had been drafted in to the line-up after Charli XCX decided not to perform.

The band’s tour starts later this month in Latin America before heading to the UK in the autumn for 14 huge shows across the country starting in Belfast on September 23.
