Does anyone have more of the pictures from the Tuscan S in the desert?

They went to Saudi Arabia testing and I'm now the proud owner of the car. Just curious

Is there a reason this thread was left with the last post being 2012?? If so please feel free to either tell me off or delete this! Just read every post on the 55 pages & apart from a lot of the pictures no longer working it makes for incredible reading. A real education, albeit a very somber one.

Every new owner of a TVR should be sent a link to this and made to read it! I'd love to see a picture of my car being built but I doubt there are any. Also I wish I could take it apart just to find the various things that are inevitably scribbled all over it!!

As I walked up to my car tonight as I left work I looked at it in a completely different light, all those people spending all those hours building it, it's a comforting thought but equally sad that's it's all gone forever.

As I'm sure it will show I am pretty new to this game, but I absolutely love my car & for what it's worth, I hope everything worked out well for everyone involved & that all of you are well!

That is the TVR Zante.

Shown at the New York Motorshow in the '70s A restoration was started by a previous chairman? of the TVRCC but never finished as he became ill. Recently re-appeared and sold to a guy in Germany http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C46699 Hopefully the refurb will be finished and we'll get to see it rather than it disappear into a collection.

Some previous threads & posted pics:
