Hammond at Tuscan motorshow launch

[B17NNS]

Haven't seen this one before. An old bit of Men and Motors circa 2000. Richard Hammond chatting to Ben Samuelson about the newly launched Tuscan. A compromised, comfy grand tourer

Funnily enough, I stumbled across this today also.

[so called]

Its got the old 17" spiders on it.
I thought they looked terrible on mine. Very tractory.

[B17NNS]

Aren't they 4.5 Cerb wheels?

Don't suppose anyone has pics of the 2004 motorshow, specifically the tvr stand...

That was the 99 earls court motorshow.

Good video, thanks for posting, but unfortunately Hammond has turned into a PORK loving bell e _ D .since then.

Tuscans had 16" raceline alloys when they first came out.

The 18" spiders became options in the early noughties. I believe the surplus 16" wheels were used up on the Tamora when it was introduced.

Yes, I'm sorry, I meant 16".
I cant post pictures due to the office firewall but they didn't look very good on my first Tuscan.

I heard that Mr Samuelson was sent to the TVR stores for a bag of sparks for the grinder

Probably went back empty handed. Sparks supplier hadn't been paid.
