What's the deal with dry sumps; how many cars have it?

The tank in the boot looks the same as the tank at the front of the race car; is it a common design or TVR specific?

It's definately a dry sump system, it's connected through the pump via a cooler into the rocker cover.

I assume the tank's in the back for weight distribution?

I'm starting to think that this is a race car; I agree there's no point in dry sumping a road car - unless it's to keep the engine cool?
