I thought it was a Tuscan from the front, with the lights and reflex purple paint, but I looked in my rear view mirror and it had a Chimeara rear ....

Maybe I was mistaken about the front as the colour fooled me ....

It was Saturday afternoon heading North up the A46, though it could have turned off towards Castle Coombe

Looked pretty cool, any ideas ?

IIRC it was at P/fest this year along with a Griff version...

It got pretty slated on the Pistonfest Forum.

I've tried looking but the whole P/fest topic has disappreared..Even on a search.

Any ideas anyone... Even a link to the pic..

That car (a Chimcan or a Tusmaera, whichever you prefer) was at Knebworth yesterday, along with it's brother, the Griffcan (or Tuscith). I believe they are the work of PlasticMan on here. Looked interesting, but not my cup of rosy...

I spoke to a lady who was part of the company involved at Le Mans (obviously I too innebriated to recall names )

She said a client loved the sound and reliability of his old Griffith, but equally wanted the crowd-pleasing look of the Tuscan - from what I gather the request was kind of a challenge which was met!

Not my cup of tea, as I think I'd have gone for the Motorshow Griffith Speed 6 look myself, but each to their own...

I thought I saw a Black Cerbie but I cannot be sure if that was you and yes K was missing, I cannot type...

I am sure that someone will post some pictures from the show so you can get a better look, by the way I saw a Metalic Pink Griff in Old sodbury about ten mins after was that you?
