Any pics of it unmasked anywhere?


I think this is the same shell , unfortunately TVRs demise meant it never had a paint job or interior. That front looks a bit Typhonish and I don';t see how the rear passengers got in smile .

Then there was this one :-

I'd guess the Tuscan GT or Cerbera MKII as David Oxley referred to it (dunno if that's right) was sent over to Germany with all the other parts when the Russian moved out of Wesham and later sent everything to Germany? If that's the case then I imagine there's a good chance the new owners may have acquired it?

The last one I think was cut up and some of the bits were/are round the back of S&D.

I am collecting the car on Friday. Have been doing some cheeky research...the first of these shots is def my car when it was still a T350c.....you can just see the blue interior. The second shot is of the first T350t customer car.....delivered towards the end of July 2003 to a dealer in Yorkshire.
