A driveshaft from most TVR specialists are around the £200+ mark!

Is there a ford alternative or something?

I know both CV joints that the driveshaft goes through are ford parts, so a ford driveshaft would be the same spline, its just a question whether the length is different?

Its for the rear of my Tuscan, however I'm sure they are all the same part from the chim onwards.

I have been chasing one for my challenge car for some months and it is defiantly not a ford shaft, they came directly from GKN I have been told. But I could really do with been proved wrong as GKN want over 600 quid to make me one

If it is the same as a Cerbera then it is off a Ford Granada.
