Does anyone have any Tuscan V6 engine bay and dashboard Photos at all? I would like to establish what is or is'nt original or missing on mine.!!

Cheers Sandy

I might have some, but what specifies? from which angle do you want?
can you make some of yours from the angle you want to look? and I can see if I have some that comes close to that.

Thanks, but any angle will be good. I somehow do not think you can have too many to choose from?

As regards the engine bay, I can show you original 1971, or restored 2010, which do you want?

Dashboard 1971 as below



Purple switch (second from right) is non standard. originally blank.

I hadn't realised that some Tuscans have a steering lock and others don't. Are the gauges the same as what went into the M series?

Later cars appear to have Smiths gauges as opposed to AC. My '72 2500 is like this.

Unrestored 1971 Tuscan V6 engine bay images.
Everything original except :- the hosepipe, the windscreen washer and the electronic ignition.







Restored, and hopefully improved a bit, 1971 Tuscan V6 engine bay images.







Hope these help, Sandy

[GTRene]

great pictures.

[Mr Tiger]

It's interesting to see the Tuscan has a dynamo and what looks like a volt meter. My 2500 has an alternator and an ammeter - not such a safe combination.

Nice one Mike, very interesting to note the differences between 1970 and 1971 cars.
Mainly heater/blower/cold air trunking route. Also the dash pics, you have 2 side vents in tunnel /footwell sides , and eyeballs on dash top, mine has 2 eyeballs on lower dash and 3 slots on dash top.
I will take some comparison piccys this weekend.

Cheers Sandy
