no sign of my old tuscan v6. I wonder where it is now...

Sorry to be bearer of bad news, but according to the DVLA it was scrapped August 2000

That's a surprise - that's less than a year after I sold it.

Can you tell that it was scrapped rather than exported?
It was in good (but not excellent) condition, Engine and rear suspension rebuilt, good body work etc.
so I guess the new owner must have crashed it properly.

looks like a lovely example.
when I look at the rear-end, it does have a mk2-ish rear?

Yes, the reprofiling around the rear number plate didn't happen until part way through the Mk3/Mk3 1800 production run, around chassis number 8/600 in mid-1963. Before that the Mk3s had the same rear end as the Mk2/Mk2A.

By the way, those were good photos of the three Granturas from the 73rd Members' Meeting that you posted. Were they ones you took yourself or are they available via a web page somewhere?

Did not know that, so then it could be even harder to spot if its a mk2 or a mk3 and it wasn't difficult enough...grrr TVRrrr ;-)

As good as all pictures in this thread are taken from the web and or some send me a few.

I do not know precise which pictures you mend, but I guess you meant those from Goodwood?
if so, then you can find them on Facebook, lets see if I can find the page.

ah>> Classic TVR owners (pre-1980s)
