Apologies if this has been asked/done before, but I spotted a photo that someone put on here this morning of a Tuscan being assembled in one of the TVR sheds which I have only ever seen a couple of. So I wondered if anyone has any other pictures of a similar nature from 'the good old days' of cars being built, the buildings as they were during production, general factory tomfoolery or anything really from when it was up & running?!

I find these things interesting, however sad that may sound! nerd I figure there must be a lot of ex-factory workers on here who must have pictures or anything else of interest, I just don't know who they are paperbag

Also whilst I'm at it, is there any form of build number register or such still in existence?? I know my Tuscan is an early one, but I'd quite like to know just how early/what 'number' it is, if that makes sense?!

Thanks

Ryan

Mine is an early 2000 model, I would be interested in the build sheet if you have one. What information do you need to determine the correct build sheet?.

Chassis number. The last four digits are also your car's build number.

Thanks guys, had a look through the 55 page thread & I'm up to page 30! What an amazing insight into the TVR world and the people that made it what it was. Very sad to read but equally brilliant!
