Hi Tony

Did you see it for sale here - http://www.acroney.com/A_C_Roney/Tuscan_Challenge_...
As I think Amos covers loads on his website abouts its history and it can all be traced due to all the previous owners being easily contacted.

Hi
I have owned three Road reg Tuscan challenge cars in the last 18 months and have still got one.In my opinion they do not make very good road cars,although softening the settings and dumping the rose joints does help.Once you have sorted out the steering as well you end up with a car that is not a Challenge car.The rover engined one's are better than the AJP for road use, but i surpose you could put a road AJP in and take the race AJP out confusedThey are the best Race Tuscan ever made in my humble world and Race been the important word in this sentance.These cars do make a very very good trackday weapon,hill climb,drag racer,sprint etc.But crap at going with the girlfriend to tesco's shopping.They excell at circuit racing after all thats what they were built for.There are many questions to ask about this Iconic Race car. smile

I recon judging by the smoke coming out the exhaust during that burn out that this would answer at least one question as to why the engine was taken out.biggrin

Chaps,
The car in the videos (with the AJP) is this one ....

The car pictured in this thread was rebuilt by PHer Phil Bunn , and in the advert pics was running a 5.0 Rover.
Incidently , that Rover engine is now rebuilt and powering my Class B Tuscan
