Hi
I'm trying to come up with maximum and axle weights for the Tuscan (Challenge, not new fangled speed 6); I need them to come up with a VIN plate. In design terms I guess the V8S is the closest TVR road car to the planned '88 Tuscan road car, so I can just extrapolate the axle weights off a V8S I guess.

So, does anyone know the 'brochure' dry weight of a V8S, and also the front and rear axle weights and maximum weight off the vin/chassis plate?

Thanks

Thanks, and as the '88 Tuscan [planned road car] was listed as 1000Kg using the V8S weights seems fair.

So, has anyone got the weights of the VIN plate on a V8S readit. (I'm assuming the V8S was recent enough to have a 'current style' VIN/Chassis plate with the weights on it). I don't need your chassis numbers off the plate, just the weight info.

Thanks

OK, thanks. I know that the axle weights haven't always been on the VIN plates, but I thought it was long enough ago for them to be on an S. Thanks for looking. I'll maybe try a modern Tuscan and extrapolate back from that....
