Just logged on checking things out..
It is amazing to see..Must be the best in the world I reckon..
So pleased that one of my outed treasures has ended up like this instead of lost forever..
Keep having flashbacks back from I owned it..Those side louvre vents were always a turn on for me in looks..

[1969tuscan]

Glad you like it David , you being a previous owner and still In touch means a lot , wish I new cars history before you owned it , it will never be a Concorse wnner but I only want a good usable car with at the moment seems to be turning out that way , but still a lot to do , will keep updating .

Would it not be possible to get a history list from DVLA?
Sure I must still have a bundle of receipts from previous owner to me which may be of use..
Think his name was Gareth of Thorndon Park.Brentwood Essex. .
He was the one who has it painted in brown and trimmed in tan..
As you say it would be good to find the first owner who put it together maybe as a component car..

[1969tuscan]

Yes I will try DVLA , and if you could dig out the receipts I would be gratefully and the video footage cheers keith

what type engine is that, looks like 2 pipes left and 2 pipes right? but the side says V6

[1969tuscan]

Hi it's the 2.8 Colone v6 used in the ford Granada and Capri , they only have two exhaust manifolds each side were as the v6 essex as three exhaust manifolds , it also has a five speed gearbox with quick shift and a siera limited slip differential

A chap from India of all places posted footage on you tube regarding club Autocross back in the 1970's..
It is brilliant in that it is reel motion camera work and pathe news type commentry..
Captured the club scene and portrays the simple example of competing back then.
Anyhow to my surprise a TVR of period has action footage about halfway in the video.
I have shared it to my Facebook page ' Llewellyn Imp Motorsport ' in case you cannot find it on you tube

Still looking for the big file of receipts Keith..
The cine film is in hand too but they are all mail order and i am worried it may go missing ..Rather expensive to do also. .

[1969tuscan]

Hi David could you not send it registered or recorded mail I would gladly paye cost of developing and postage if you let me know how much .just got wfd400h free tax and test so only insurance to pay every year now with it being an historic vehicle . So car legal on the road All I have to do now is get my finger out and Finnish it .
