A Tuscan (new to the owner). In the wet. At Oulton.

That sounds like it'll require some strong underpants. smile

Four spare pairs of underpants already packed wink Will be taking it very steadily as its the first time I will have driven the Tuscan and it has just undergone a complete rebuild. Hope it still looks like this at close of play tomorrow!

That looks a right beast.

Is it running the Rover engine or the AJP one?

Thanks Lloyd thumbup Unfortunately there were a couple of issues with the car so I didn't get to drive it as much as I would have liked. There was quite a bad miss fire on cyls 4 and 6 and the brake pads were ste. Even though I was taking it easy it was a productive day. The car hadn't turned a wheel in ten 10 years and it had undergone a major rebuild. So, straight out of the box it worked quite well really smile

Just got to sort out 2 of the 4 carbs, balance 4 wheels, replace the stack speed sensor, and change the brake pads and its ready to race!!!

Oh, its powered by a 5.0L RV8 on quad Dellortos.
