Excuse me for posting a link to another site, but:

Must be a very rare sight in the US? Anyone know who's it is?

Whoever it is should get those indicator lenses swapped.

My first moved. Thought of posting it here, but decided the Tuscan forum might be better due to it being a rather unusual spotted.

Just noticed I'm topped 1000 posts too

It's got a UK plate on there. You do seem to be able to get TVRs in some states, but not others. This one's obviously an import that's not been re-registered .... it won't be long before it's pulled.

Was it perhaps the imported car for Swordfish ?

Do you think the Tuscan is troubling any Dodge Viper drivers?

maybe it is someone who flew the car over for a driving holiday? that is one good way of stirring up those who aren't used to seeing TVR's out and about!
but if it is someone who bought and shipped it over how the hell did he get past the American emissions regs? seems very strange

I've been looking to replace mine - where do I get them? I presume you mean the clear ones that you get on later cars....

I had my fronts done at the factory. The TVR lenses are about £70 each, although you can get cheaper alternatives that are a slightly different shape. Might be worth a search in the Tuscan forum archives as there have been a few threads about fitting them.
