Yes Chris, it's a 2500 chassis. You an tell by the upper crossmember in front of the engine being curved upwards.

Thanks Jim. As far as I know it's unclear whether any left hand drive Tuscan V6s were made.

Rene,

Your post above is from a very recent article in Autocar following TVR's relaunch.

I don't have a copy but it may be June 10th.

Does anyone know the Mk2 SPM 434 - very unusual bonnet - I can't remember but is it the one fitted with a Bristol engine - there was a car with an unusual engine Hillclimbed at Dyrham Park, Bath.

Rob

[GTRene]

its indeed a strange/different looking bonnet, not to bad looking, I was wondering myself what engine would
lay under that bonnet, even better, if there are any pictures from under the bonnet of that car.

edit...I see I have a lot more pictures with SPM-434

it now looks like this...













have more pictures, but I guess I've posted those before a while ago? no pictures of the engine,
but they also changed some things over the years so it looks?

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?

Chris

No such thing in germany, privacy laws prohibit that.

You may be thinking of the Lea Francis engined special (2496cc) that I posted a photo of about 6 months ago in the RGS Atalanta thread. It got confusing when someone misread the driver's home town of Bristil as being the engine type in the programme notes.

I still haven't done any digging into that car...

Oliver.
