Hi Rene,

Is GT-R840H a Tuscan V6 or V8 and which country is it registered in please?




Also, I think LJJ 11K is a 1300 that now has a 1500 engine.




Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris, The car is registered in Germany, I found 2 pictures on my PC, one noted Vixen S3 and one Tuscan...
so, I don't know for sure what type it is, but the Tuscan note came with the picture, but that does not have to say much.
Although I now replaced the 'vixen s3' in the Tuscan department.
here is that other picture

Thanks again Rene,

I now know of vehicle search pages for the UK and Holland (RDW). Do you know of any similar search pages for any other countries?

edit, no Chris, I do not know other sort like search sites like say the RDW site for Dutch cars, maybe some other people around here know some and can give a link, would be handy.

I am still trying to find out more about this "Griffith".
Was built as a Griffith but registered by D.G. in the 80s as Griffith 1600
with a Ford Cross Flow engine.

I am very sure..Some owners would like everyone else to think 1965 Griffith 400 But it was re-built by the factory in 1967 as a Tuscan V8 after Colin Skeaping wrote it off previously and decided he wanted the more modern car.…..Its a case of some conveniently re-writing history for the Fia. Some bits of it may well have been a Griff 400 once upon a time!!

Tuscans and Tuscan LWB's remember!
