Hi Guys/Gals,

While at the factory checking my new Tuscan in build I was told that the Tuscan's, and Tamora's, including the T350 all share the same frame i.e. they are all built on the same jig.

Can anyone confirm if this is true. I was lead to believe tha the Tuscan was built on a shortened version of the Cerberas chassi.

Cheers,
Michael McD.

True.

Well, although I have only seen on pictures the different TVR chassis seem to be very similar.

Tvr chassis are all of the tubular backbone style.

The tuscan chassis is based on a shortened Cerbera chassis. The tamora and T350 chassis are the same as the tuscan's. hence why their wheelbases are the same.

The chassis is made in two parts and then welded together so it would make sense to have a common set of jigs that can produce the different versions as needed as the jigs are very expensive to produce in the first place.
