Thumbs up

Hi mate

I understand Scorpion make Prodrive back boxes. I wanted a BB that sounded good but I didn't want my teeth to rattle everytime I opened her up. I do 40,000+ miles a year, mostly motorway, so it was important.

I got mine (and a de-cat centre section) from Tyres Northampton. Can't remember how much but £300 + vodka & tonic sounds about right.

Ask for Mark - top geezer!

Cheers
Kav

Was quoted £250 for centre and back ans £130 for front section by Tyres Northampton.

Had a cebtre/back system supplied by David Hendry Cars on my 96MY soon after it was new. They quote their current system as a Scorpion but couldn't give me a definite answer as their parts man has changed since then and the new one was a bit clueless on both their Scooby and TVR non standard parts. Are also v. expensive according to their web site (dhcars.co.uk).

Sounded gorgeous but got a bit wearing on 200+ mile motorway runs.
