Ordered the T440R on Saturday from Racing Green (Very nice set up) they are selling my Tuscan S for me.... (New Wife / House / business) force the sales as I have mentioned on here before......so taking a year out and waiting in antisipation for the new car.....I would love to hear from any of you that have ordered one because ive only seen a few pictures and want to get owners views of how they are going to set their cars up im probabley going for the "Road Racer" set upwith back seats and softer ride but any advise would be welcomed.

what kind of money are they asking for a T440R (and before anyone says it, I know asking proves I cant afford it!)

I thought they were about £70k inc the vat.

What is this about rear seats? Can we have some?

Ordered mine at the motorshow last year and will be going for the 550 variant (as soon as it is available) .

Had to put down the full deposit a few months back to ensure a good chance of getting the car in Spring/Summer 2004, although at the current build rate that might be a touch optimistic

btw will Ted be creating a new forum for the T440R?

I "think" the Super charger is standard according to racing Green....but I will check.....the back seats are in replacement of the extended fuel tanks if you not going to race it or GT in it they will put a normal fuel tank in and nice seats and make it like a cerbera interior. I have no idea what colour to go for!!!!

I know that people put down deposits on the "Tuscan R" - which is now the T440R. Whats the betting it'll change its name again prior to delivery?

Has anyone actually got one of these things yet....

Some of those deposits must be three years old already...

But what a car when it finally comes!

Car No 1 is on the road. I was up at Blackpool yesterday to see how mine is progressing. I ordered it Oct 2000 and am customer no 2. The car is currently in primer whilst I finalise colour and trim but has progressed very well since I was last up in May. In terms of setup mine is as extreme as can be configured - for the moment ... the new 19 inch wheels look lovely btw - I'll post a picture up next time I'm on.

I should say as extreme as can be "currently" configured engine wise (think red rose and you'll get the idea)... otherwise full harnesses, 19" wheels, big brakes etc etc .. the suspension of course is factory adjustable and I look forward to working with the guys over time to set mine up just so ..
