I do think you are being a pratt!!
Yes, these drivers had these numbers, but!!
What about No 2, David Mason. This was also my number before I took Steve Coles No 3.
No reference to Steve Guglielmi. Steve was No 6. I think even Andy Holden would bow to Steve's record in Tuscans.
Where is Gerry Marshall or is he not good enough?
Don't forget that Colin MaCrae drove one, so did Tiff Needell. What numbers were they? I think Mansell even had a try.
Ian Ashley, who was a genuine F1 driver, did a season. What was his number?
Andy Britnell was pretty good and Michael Caine dosen't seem to have done enough to get on the list. Mike Jordan did a few races as well.
Suggest you do some proper homework.

I didn't know Guggles was No6 - you learn something new everyday.
Whilst I am busily creating a niche as a legend in my own lunchtime, I certainly have no place on any list of Tuscan legends. Not by a long chalk!
27 Quite right No:6, you're far too young
I, on the other hand do
mainly because nobody ever used the no:29 until I did hui said:

Hi Hui!
Yes Gugs was No 6 in the "H R Owen - King of the Jungle" car.
Steve Hyde was No 7. before he was no 10.
I have no idea what Gerry's number was because he drove for quite a few teams!
No 28 was driven by Jay Shepherd, Mark Johnston and Nathan Freke.

Dad's car was number 27 because Giles Cooper of the TVR Centre (car owner and entrant) was a big fan of Gilles Villeneuve.
The number 28 car was originally on my dad's own Tuscan. When he started driving for Giles int he first season, he also bought himself a brand new Tuscan that wasn't actually raced. This was liveried the same as number 27. Eventually it was raced a few seasons in by lost of guest drivers including Frank Sytner, Colin McRae, Jimmy McRae (who also shared the 1992(?) season #27 car with my dad) Tiff Needell, John Cleland and a few others I can't remember. I remember seeing Colin McRae hold and recover from the biggest tailey I have ever seen in a Tuscan. He must have been 60° out of shape at some speed and just reined it in. Very impressive.
Gerry Marshall was invariably number 55.
Nick Faure was 44 before it was run by Andy Purvis.
Mansell drove red 5 (what else).
Colin blower ran number 5 for what seemed like forever.
Yes, Coley was 3.
Number 1 Was the guest car for one or more seasons. Had a few nutters in that. I remember Slim Borgudd driving it. He was a cracking fella and a pretty good hand.
These are all in days gone past though. Means nothing to anyone that's been Tuscan racing in the past few years.
