TF 4 Seater Sports Tourer

 

The TF is the 2+2 of the Findhorn family. The graceful sweeping wings belie a length cockpit made complete with a hood styled to the body. Prominent headlights up front, four chrome wire wheels and a spare wheel with luggage rack behind finish the classic effect. Beneath the skin, the choice is an enjoyably throaty B series engine, perhaps with super-charging or a “sheep-skin clothed” V8. However you treat her, she remains pretty, practical and long-legged, whether for weekend runs or tours across Europe.

Inside the deceptively spacious cockpit, there is ample room for even the taller driver and passenger, and space too for shopping or luggage. Clothe her seats with leather and she will reward you with a luxurious aroma and the walnut dashboard will shine back at you.

The romance of the TF doesn’t mean you miss out on home comforts. The seats are welcoming, the cabin is warm when its cool outside and the carefully designed hood is genuinely watertight.

Once the sun comes out she really comes into her own. Fold-back the hood and the joys of true open-top motoring are yours. A drive in the country really is a drive in the country - not something you view from within a climate-controlled capsule. You can scent the bluebells in spring, the fresh mown hay in summer and bonfires of autumn.

All of this is made possible by everything under the bonnet, from the double wishbone front suspension past the traditional in line engine, be it four, perhaps even straight six or V8 cylinders, gearbox to suit and rear suspension to suit.

The final specification choice is yours for your true Sports Car.
