I had a yellow one, it's gone racing in New Zealand now, but drop me a line if I can help.

Cheers, Al.

'Grant Tuscan' was another. It is/was a black one which loves scaring pedestrians in Marlow.

Steve Howard built it and I think he has built others.

I had a green one that I raced a few years ago in an endurance series.
It was built by Chris at Strebber and was fantastic fun.
I sold the car to a chap in Yorkshire who uses it to and from work as well as track days.
There are some pictures of it on my website. www.rhinomotorsport.co.uk
Look in the gallery.

I have got one which Steve Howard has recently finished - it took 15 months to complete. I have been enjoying it recently due to the warmi(ish) dry weather and even in these cold conditions the performance is just incredible.

It will be for sale in the Spring. Drop me a line as I've got lots of tips on what to do and not do if you plan on doing one.

Talk to him by e-mail. I know he had serious grief with his Tuscan Racer when I knew him in my previous incarnation as 'ScotsGrey'

[hot wheels]

many thanks to all that have responded, i've emailed a few of you with some details and i'll be in touch some more as the thing progreses, Its not my personal car but a customer of mine and things are still in the planning stages though he has bought the vehicle and we are discussing engine combinations at the moment i'll post something more as soon as i have anything worthwile, on another note i wonder just how many of these were produced and just how many are sat around with no further motorsport intentions , the thoughts here are obvious i'm sure

I've got one currently under conversion to road use and Richard Thorpe has one already done (with an ex-Nascar Chevy engine). There are others out there, but we keep a low profile.....

That is a myth that I have heard several times from different people...I never sold it yet people keep telling me the same as you...just out of interest where did you hear that from?

Hope you are well - we must meet up in the Spring...should try and do a Tuscan gathering?

[WildfireS3]

Tim Lamont of ACT had one before the Griff, 5.1 RV8 IIRC.

Tuscan Gathering now that's a good idea!

Maybe we could combine it with a tvrcc-challenge race..

there will be at least 2 Tuscans racing

( if I ever get the blinking engine fitted)
