For sale on the Classic Driver website. 30 grand seems a lot for what looks like an old Tuscan with a Cosworth engine..

Maybe the fact that it's left hand drive adds value?

Looks great to me .. but hang on? .. isn't it based on the M / Taimar chassis .. front suspension and chassis bracing looks that way - is it a facotry job or something someone did themselves? .. whatever probably agree it isn't worth what they're asking but if it were 10k less it's be a damn good buy I say .. looks great, should go well, just hope the chassis has been stiffened.
rear is the tuscan race car isn't it? .. or the start of that shape. interesting anyway ..

Well spotted Joolz.

Griffith prototype my ar$e! The car left the factory as a 3000S in 1979 and has been heavily modified over the years. I've seen the car at Zolder a few times and it looks quite good. It's aslo been discussed on PH before as well, www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=20757&f=13&h=0&hw=cosworth+3000S

Perhaps the advertiser would like to give us the full history and put our minds at rest?!!

Step away from the vehicle!

You've got to be to buy that, especially at that price.

Who wants a 4 cylinder TVR?!

(Excepting the classics of course! )

The smokey/generally unwell T350c I followed through West London yesterday sounded like a 5 cylinder TVR
