A few weeks ago there was a blue Rover powered Tuscan for sale on PH for 20k, spoke to the fella today, he said he has just finished breaking the car up and sold it as spares, only thing left is the engine.
If you want to have a look at the car its on Race Cars Direct, looks a real nice car. I asked him why he broke it up, he said he was fed up with silly offers, he also said he would have accepted 15k, perhaps he should have advertised it for 15k and not 20k.

That no one was prepared to buy.

I wouldn't worry. there are many more in existence than were originally built.

The parts will be usefull to keep the others on the road.

there was a thread somewhere on Pistonheads a year or so ago keeping tabs on all the ones still around. There were also, how shall we say Non factory Builds which have happened over time in varying locations.

I would reckon that at least 50 are still around, possibly more, some sitting in garages awaiting dusting down. others in use others converted to sags or road cars.
