What the hell is this?

[PetrolTed]

A TVR?

[raceboy]

Duno, but I like it
Looks a bit Tuscan Challange from the rear view?

[beano1197]

Black, definately black!

Nice

[Podie]

Looks like a cross between a Griffith and a Tuscan racer... is it me, or does it's profile have a bit of Boxster about it?

[jellison]

Look like 3000S doors

[craigalsop]

Definately a roadgoing conversion of a Tuscan Racer. Nice job!

[john yates]

So what is it? A photo i have missed or are you discussing the new Tamora Coupe creation. Does that new Tamora Coupe have another name or is it just called a Tamora Coupe? Ohhhh! I see the beast very nice looks like a Tuscan racer but different somehow?

**IJP** said: I don't think this is a TVR but a rather copycat Porsche. The german suggests that it is a bi turbo

Nope, the german says "Porsch-Biturbo- Bremsen" which just means brakes from a Porsche Biturbo.

[**IJP**]

A no - no... a Germanic b*stardisation of a Tuscan race car. Horrible

Nope, the german says "Porsch-Biturbo- Bremsen" which just means brakes from a Porsche Biturbo.

Yep oops - removed the above post cos' I just finished looking at the rest of the site and realised my mistake about the porsche bits

It's a TVR Sonderumbau

Says so in the advert

Looks like it's only got 4 cylinders, can anyone identify the block ?

[davidy]

Ted and all

This a TVR 3000S which has had a Griffith front grafted on to it (you can still see the 3000S cutaway doors and windscreen frame), the car has been at the Zolder event in past years, though the nose looks as if its had further treatment from when I last saw it and now has metamorphorsed into at Tuscan Rcarer lookalike.

Again when I saw it, it was fitted with a Cosworth Turbo engine, which a claimed 500bhp, though I never saw it on the circuit.

So it is definitely a TVR

Shirley thats just a Tuscan racer with very good body finishing and an integrated rollover hoop rather than a full FIA cage.

Matt.

[raceboy]

The engine looks like a red top cosworth unit

[Simon T]

yup, its a cossie engine, still got the turbo on it, you can just make out the oil cooler pipe

Definitely a Tuscan. Could it be a protoype that escaped - after all it was going to replace the S until the Griffith blew it away.

If anyone can read German a translation would be handy.

Feed it to the fish;

Although the output is almost as incomprehensible as the German...

Plotloss - I agree, and don't call me Shirley.

(It didn't look like anyone was going to bother with your deliberate feed and just felt that was rude)
