Tuscan V8 Widebody

[oliverb205]

I posted this copy of an original press photo of the Tuscan wide body on the facebook page and it got quite a lot of interest. It appeared in the November issue of Vintage Roadcar magazine, they hope to do a feature on these rare beasts in the future. It got such a response that I thought it deserved it's own thread, so let's see how many photos of these cars we can come up with, and how much information there is.

This car was Gerry Sagerman's original demonstrator, and was fitted with a Ford 302cu engine from new. I took these at "Out of the Woodwork", Indianapolis Motor Speedway in September 1997.

Further to Bernard's posting above, here is the article on the Robert Nosowicz car, from "Hot Car" magazine November 1981.









Hope it comes out OK.

Does anyone know anything about this one, which turned up at Millennium Mania at Stanford Hall in August 2000? It had come over from Norway, hopefully the sheet that was in the window is readable here.

Not as far as I know. One or two may have done a few club events in the USA, but I doubt internationally.

Thanks for that Bill, I must admit that over 18 years after I took the photos of the ex Sagerman car at Woodwork it is hard to remember the full spec! Plus as a Limey I don't know the full details of all the Yankee V8s, so would rather leave an ambiguous detail in rather than get something wrong. It was a lovely car (presumably still is), but it is a shame that Al trailered it there and we never got the chance to see it in full tarmac ripping mode...
