At risk of sounding like a real anorak I'm searching for some pictures of very late model Tuscan (dare I say Mk3?) doorcards with the large recessed speaker fitted.

My November 2005 Convertible didn't get these speakers fitted and I'm looking to get some door cards made to original factory spec but struggling to find any pics, the closer the better would really help as even the ex factory professionals are struggling on this one!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Gents this is great stuff, thanks! Would still like a real close up to try to get the dimensions spot on if anyone else would like to join in the door card fetish???

Large numbers of interior and random TVR pics - you should be able to find a few examples of
what you want.

Is there anywhere that sells Tuscan door cards? Had a quick look a few weeks ago but couldn't find anyone, although didn't try the breakers yet.

Been planning on recovering mine but I really dislike my early Mk1 door cards because the pockets are so narrow.

I just so happen to have a set of these bottom part of the door cards with the speaker mount sat in my garage, they're covered in Portland grey leather.
Open to offers?

If the OP doesn't want them then I might be interested! I'm not overly worried about the style I have (as long as it's not my current one!), so perhaps the OP would sell me his originals if they are not needed?

However, I might be better off buying an old knackered set from a breakers because I really need them in black, so would have to budget recovering.

Got the pm's guys thanks, I'll post some photos up and let flash have first shout as it was his thread that reminded me. I don't think they are exactly the same as the ones in the thread though, mind you, they've been sat in the box since last year, so I can't remember.

I'm by no means desperate for any so you're welcome to them over myself. Would just like a pair (preferably black) at some point.

Hi.

idea As I must have PM'd you first Benn winkbiggrin can I suggest that if the OP doesn't want them in Portland Grey and is likely to get yours recovered (I need grey to replace my Fern green ones) , I have yours and he has mine?

That's assuming that mine fit his bill.

What d'ya reckon?

Guy.

Thanks Benn, the plot thickens, don't think they are exactly the same but sure they must be from a Tuscan. Gutu, what door cards have you got in yours? Surely you'd only want these if you didn't already have the speaker mountings? Certainly happy to work something out if you already have these door cards with large speaker mounts and just want to change to Portland - I will be re-trimming them as you say.

I don't see how "build number" 1709 can be from a Mark 2 Tuscan .... I don't think TVR made 709 cars in either 2004,2005 or 2006.

They came off a Tuscan 2 and went onto my 1 so regardless of the number, they fit both.

Flash has taken these, so theyve now been sold folks, thanks for the interest. Funny really as they've been up in PH classifieds twice now and not sold.
