Seems less 'poetic license' was used for the TVRCC

yep if you get rid of the chav sounding stereo and LED lights etc then it starts to sound more promising smile Will have to check a SP6 cylinder head though .. I wasn't aware you could get any usefully bigger valves in there! And what's a GT cam ?

The T400/440 race cars ran with a different cam, will do more research.

I know this car. Its a standard 4.0L Tuscan. The engine was rebuilt and I know the block was decked for a little more compression and it was fitted with "S" injectors. The cam is standard. It does go well but not as well as suggested in the ad!

The Tuscan R badge is just a badge that was on a shelf somewhere.

I made the decat pipes for that car biggrin

The rear spoiler is from Fibron as far as I know.

Has it still got those chavvy blue LED lights all over the interior?

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 ??? confused Suspicious of the figures

Could this be a Sagaris MK2 prototype or is it a Tuscan?

That car was written off some time ago see here : http://www.douglasvalley.co.uk/item.asp?prodid=394...

Interestingly (for me) I always thought the written off Diablo Viola Tuscan in the link above was my car, that I specced new in late 1999 but now I've seen this video I've realised it wasn't my car (I always thought mine was the only one in this colour), my car had purple carpets, a purple leather spider on the instrument binnacle and purple leather rear indicator pods - this car has grey everything. So on the upside (for me) my car might still be out there smile
