that looks the dogs,you should be proud of what you have made.
i would like to think if the factory was still running then this would be what comes out .
keep up the good work .
if its from tvr parts with a tvr engine its a tvr
Exactly my thoughts. Yes it's changed a lot but in a good way.that looks the dogs,you should be proud of what you have made.

Would order one myself money providing.
I know this thread is a bit old but I like it so it's going back to the top of the list.
Just wondering how difficult it would be to take all the panels off a knackered Tuscan and replace them with T350 panels? Would it work or are they sufficiently different underneath to require mods?

Could do, but I'm at the 'pondering possibilities' stage and wouldn't want to waste his time with my dreaming. It seems he can build you anything you like if your pockets are deep enough, but I was wondering how simple things could be. If the chassis' are the same then theoretically changing the fibreglass panels should be straightforward. I wouldn't put money on me being right though.

To the best of my knowledge, all of the T-cars chassis are the same bar the sagaris which is wider! Going by that, I reckon Dave could quite easily change a Tuscan into a T350! I reckon you'd need a T350 fuel tank, fans as well as the lights and I think the rear windscreens are a bit like hens teeth to get hold of!Just wondering how difficult it would be to take all the panels off a knackered Tuscan and replace them with T350 panels?

Dave is usually more than happy to talk TVR, talking through what is possible and the associated costs is part of his work so would really suggest just dropping him an email and go from there.m3coupe said:
Out of curiosity, what do you need to do to modify the tuscan chassis to the width of the sagaris? Other than sourcing a sagaris chassis, who could mod it for you and what would the cost be?
As I understand it (but happy to be corrected) only the suspension pickup points are different. Wishbones are the same. Not too expensive in itself for a specialist to do but the overall project (prep work, bodywork) would most probably end up being quite significant. Looked into doing this a while back but ruled it out early on.cheeky said:
Very nice! Beautiful colour. Seems to be lacking cans and rear quarter-lights though...
Seriously, great looking motor. Is it a standard S6?
Running on standard Sp6 at the moment, I will upgrade once I've got the teething problems out of the way. What about you? Any plans to upgrade?Seriously, great looking motor. Is it a standard S6?
