Race Tuscan GT??

[defender50th]

Hi,
Sorry, i have no idea about TVR's but someone i know is wanting to sell/swap a TVR Tuscan GT, aparently one of two in the world?
He says:
"A full race Tuscan GT in Lamborghini Diablo Purple, cream leather.
28.5k on the clock, receipts of over £56k on the car for work completed since birth in 2000.
Fully sorted no problems new eveythings, I would take you for a blast if you have a "G" suit to hand.
547 bhp in a carbon fibre / kevlar race car - it has been proven 0-60 1.89 seconds and the one in Russia at the TVR show room made 215mph before the test driver bottled it!"

Whats one of these things worth?

Thanks

James

[so called]

It's a new one on me ???

The real Tuscan GT was never completed, it went off in container with rest of the bits last year.



It may be a Tuscan Challenge car ? or T400/440 , Speed12 ??? Suspicious of the figures

TVRs that match the above description are normally only available for sale in Gran Turismo.

Just over 2 million credits by the look of it.

Chap selling it sent me photos. They're not that detailed, but the car looks like a standard Tuscan on 18" spiders; standard brakes; with a "S" front spliter; and a Fiberon boot spoiler.

[rm55]

Ah, it'll be that boot spoiler that makes it do 0-60 in under 2 seconds.

Sounds similar to the car described to me last year, but the pics shown to me were of a relatively std Tuscan Mk1. I think if there was anything special out there we'd have heard about it by now..

I fancy some new everythings

Hi,

This is it apparently, from 35secs in this vid:

Will post pics if i get some. He thinks its worth £18k.

[Rich912]

Might be worth a bit more if you take the rear spoiler off.

[WhyTwo]

Looks to me like a standard Mk1 S with a horrible bespoke spoiler on the boot. £18k would seem to be in the ball park, if perhaps at the top end for a 2000 car (going on the W reg plate), dependent upon condition, mileage and things like engine rebuild/upgrade and any mods etc

Claims of 500+ BHP, sub 2 seconds to 60 and 200+ MPH top end along with it being 1 of only 2 built would appear to be 'poetic license'

[rm55]

From that video, it's not even an S - just a std one.

And just to clarify, it's not a race car, it's not carbon fibre / kevlar, it's probably 360bhp at best, but it certainly is purple.

£18,000? - maybe, but only from a dealer with full warranty. Privately I'd say £13-£16k depending on condition and history.

Here are some pics just emailed to me:

[defender50th]

Just asked about the engine, its: A full race 4ltr straight six, cammed up bigger valves, mapped up by TVR stuck on the rollers, als been clocked on the Hockenheim and Nuremburg circuits.

[stainless_steve]

it has been proven 0-60 1.89 seconds

A very large pinch of salt

Seems less 'poetic license' was used for the TVRCC
