Sorry if this causes offence - buy WHY is it that so many Tuscan racers get buggered (Butchered about with!?) - personally I hate this kid of thing. This was a propper racer with the works full cage (why the hell would anyone want to remove that (unless it is not a tuscan and just the shell on a Chim / griff), the Race wheels should be on it the early small Oz ones or the later big one BUT NOT Bloody Spider - Christ that look crap.
It should have the full later spoiler kit on as well (front and rear), should have the two exhaust existing in the side. Much the same applies to the other dark blue cars - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHrrrr get it right or leave these things alone.
Putting a passeneger seat in is bad enough but the above!
Best thing for these is to RACE them or at least have them looking as they raced with an AJP (or full on Bonkers RV8 or Dellortos - no bloody lucas ECU rubbish)sdt road (as the race ones are tinking as far as rebuild time is concerned or proper fire breathing LS or SBC.
JUST STOP BUTCHERING THESE GREAT CARS.

Hope this causes no offence, but why is it not okay to revise a race car for road use, but its okay to engineer a standard car to take a yank lump.

The chassis looks quite different to the actual racer..

Daftlad said:You are missing my point. The whole point should be to reatin as much of the racers look as possible - therefore the full cage should be a MUST. Wheels need to be in keep in with the car (or some Compomotives in Black so the eye does not get drawm to the details, but not Spiders!) and need a REALLY Mental engine not some cooking Rv8 - utterlessly pointless otherwise.

Mine is coming from the other way looks pretty std (as TVR designed it, just ALOT Faster) - why do it in reverse and make Tuscan racer ALOT less of a racer with a lame engine now full cage (the full cage IS a must). Christ I drive two TRs with full cages on the road a fair bit - it is all part of the drama of driving a race derived car.
The 450 hps are AJPs. 0-100 in 7s 
Luvly. Are the series still running btw?
