I've seen this a couple of times, once during the build and once at the end after the respray. It looks really well put together and is a quality conversion. 26k sounds cheap to me but I guess the TVR buying market will decide.

I think a Tuscan Racer chassis would likely be stiffer than the Griff's thanks to the welded roll cage. They have a chunk more power to flex it with though.

much of the torional rigidity comes from the body shell...tuscans have less torsional rigidety from their flimsy body shells so flex far more than Griff/Chim believe me ive driven them, oh and my Griff is putting down 399bhp ATW's and I dont feel any more flex than when it was std at least not enough to be noticeable in its handling running much harder suspension than normal road setting.

Topcats one felt like a sweet wrapper which i was lead to believe they all felt like?, their Sag bodied one on the other hand felt incredibly stiff in comparison.

Interesting Hamish, which circuits have you had the Tuscan round to get chassis flex ?
