This car is up for sale again (I think its this one!). 1970 V8 LWB Tuscan (originally a v6) It was hillclimbing in the isle of man and Scotland and winning and setting records fairly often. Here's the link:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-Tuscan-V8-/161568991846?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item259e432a66

I have lots of pictures of this car as it belonged to my dad before he passed away and it is now being sold by a family friend. If any of you want more pictures I will try and get them to you. Theres also a link to it racing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMEQVse_xE

I also like this one! He was very insistent that these cars were for racing and not sitting hidden in a garage. And "if you don't make mistakes now and again, you're not trying hard enough".

Over the weekend we are going to get a lot of pictures together and post a link to them. We will also try to find the hillclimbs and times where it was a winner and a record setter. Would love to see this car racing again!

Is that Dave Barnett selling the car ?

Cracking car BTW.

Too Right.
No TVR is too special to race….or modify..

I hope it finds a new owner v soon.

It sounds like a fitting tribute to someone who took his fun very seriously, . . . or had a lot of fun with his serious toy.

Best regards,
