Updates, the future, and treats from the past!

The future of The Last V8

Rejoice! So far we could not start the project, due to the restoration of the original S-Type, however the job is finally coming to an end, and we can start bringing you regular updates and actual, exciting, and original content.

Yesterday night the engine and transmission finally went back in the S-Type, so hopefully we can get it up and running in the next two weeks, and then it's all about The Last V8! Just to give you a bit of a treat, here's the S-Type ready and waiting just outside the garage for the engine to be replaced:




Now all that's left until the first start is tying the cables in, fitting the coolers, and filling her up with transmission fluid and oil, which are getting delivered just as you're reading this. So if everything goes well, you might get a quick update tonight about this beast of an engine in action!

So far we could not bring as much exciting content as we would have liked to, and we do apologise for that, but as Summer is coming, and university is ending, Sándor will come back to Budapest, which means you guys will get a lot more exciting video updates, which is a more appropriate method of documentation for The Last V8 project.

So if you were our faithful reader so far, hold on for a while longer, and you'll soon be able to see us get to work on the project. As a little taste of what is to come, next week we're going to set up the post apocalyptic repair station, so that we can do the project in full authenticity, and perhaps you'll get more on the S-Type as well as it gets back on the road and we can take it out for a spin finally.

Additionally, you get some old pictures from the last v8 archives that I just found:

​Ps.: Before people freak out that we're going to ruin a beautiful S-Type to make a The Last V8 out of it, don't worry, we're going to salvage pretty much everything we can from it that is not necessary for the build project itself, so as to save them as spares for the S-Type on the road.
