How many "development" cars did TVR bastardise over to 'S' spec, and has anyone got one?

I'd be interested to know if anyone had any further background on this car. If I didn't currently have the Masser I might be tempted...

Cheers,

I saw this car when it appears on Agger's site and had to do a double take as I thought it was my car!!!

I've got that car's twin, although with a different colour interior (grey/black two-tone seats and grey centre console).

Other than that there is little cosmetic different between mine and this one.

Mine was an early Tuscan, upgraded/rebodied by the factory and used in the Looney Tunes movie.

IMHO £24k is not a bad price - less than I paid 12 months ago for basically the same car.

This one is missing the front lip spoiler though.
