LOVE IT.....

Great colour and looks like a great restoration, lets see some engine pics

[GAjon]

Very nice, well done hope you can now enjoy using it.

Gorgeous looking Tuscan - i've never driven one but can imagine the thrill of mastering these big power 60's TVR's , lots of grunt and not much wheelbase

[westwood35]

I am testing it up Shelsley Walsh hill climb on Friday, so should be fun. Should have about 290BHP, and with such a short wheelbase....very very twitchy. Will take better camera to work tomorrow and get a load more photos, including the engine. I also have some of it as a drag car in the 70's!!

wow...and wow...lovely color and what a lovely car you build up.

would love to see and hear it on/in a video.

Absolutely stunning.

[Grantura MKI]

Looks like the one that was at David/Gerald?

[westwood35]

Yes, Doug and Aaron did a great job. Encountered a number of issues and sorted them very well indeed. Also suggested all the right bits that were missing from the original car. I only picked it up today, so looking forward to a few small trips and then a full on Rolling Road!!!

[The Surveyor]

Congratulations, that is just stunning and you must be so chuffed.

Come on, let's see a picture of the engine

Lovely, colour really suits it well. One small question... any idea where it was between build and registration? J reg would put it at 69-70?

J would put it 1970-71 actually, but it was a question I was going to ask.

Nice colours.

The car is actually a 1967, sorry typo in original title!! Car was built in May 1967, apparently raced in the USA, then brought back to UK. When it was brought back the owner at the time had it registered, and it ended up with a 1971 reg!! More photos of the car before we had it:

And you decided NOT to keep that lovely bonnet scoop... SHAME on you!!!
