Finishing a factory Tuscan Convertible?

[robsco]

Just a pipe dream, or is it...? I can't help but notice Str8six have a body and chassis available for one of the unfinished Tuscan Convertibles. Has anybody on the forums gone down this route? It intrigues me what sort of cost one would look at to get one of these cars finished, particularly considering I have no technical nous. I can't imagine selling the T350T so it does make me wonder whether it would be worth buying one now and working on a separate project like this when funds allow.

Just thinking aloud for the moment, but any opinions valued.

Pretty car Alistair but as a bit of a purist, I'd be looking at originality as top priority, with small changes under the skin and little bits improved over factory. The Speed Six in 4 litre S guise has all the power anybody could feasibly need, certainly there would be no crates engines in sight either!!

I spoke to Jason about this on the phone on Monday (what a helpful chap), and I think it's probably a little beyond what I'm capable of, both technically and financially. I believe he now has one body remaining as the other has been sold to Canada. If anybody wants in I'd suggest they hurry before the boys over the pond snatch them all!
