Lots of Cat 3 Tuscans on auction

[shadey]

Is there a reason why so many Tuscan's suddenly seem to be cat 3's on certain auction site's??? Has there been a race series or a demolition derby that I may have missed?? I'm sure some poor sod most have loved these vehicles at some point and must be gutted to see them on there? From an owners point of view, it would be nice to know what caused the accident in the first place and also what parts of the car not to buy or to avoid.

Good skills!!! Anybody else have anything a bit more informative??? Owners views etc.

More power than talent mostly. People see the performance figures and must have one. More spare parts for us, every week a few die eventually will be good for residuals.

Iput it down to them being more affordable to buy these days so the boy racers are starting to get there hands on them, and as we all know there not the best drivers in the world

My thoughts exactly, its easy to keep pushing and pushing the car until one day it bites you back, happened to me after the gaz gold fit and toyo r888's, car goes round corner quicker,but also means when you do loose it, you have little time to get it back. I was lucky enough to just get a warning, i think alot of people recently are not being so lucky.

could you please tell us what sites you found them on please

[shadey]

Theres a few on ebay at the moment, and also If you check out the classifieds and back track through some of the 'car dismantlers' it sometimes lead to links to auction sites.

I've been trying since I got my MK2 (convertible dash), TVR failed to supply. They are hollow pots that are glued on the black Mondeo ends, same used on Sags and T350s. Bell Hill once had a set off a T350 but they were scratched. Not sure how easy it would be to get the covers off a 2nd set , the other option of doing a complete wiring replacement might be tricky.

Leven were meant to have a replacement,but seems to have come to nothing. Like the Leven Chim ones, involved cutting the stalk midway and fitting a sleve. The "active" washer end button was a problem because its wired up the stalk.

Hi Lee, I've not asked Jules of a while, with Dan leaving etc. I thought they were a bit pre-occupied. They asked me to find a "guinea pig" (local to Basildon) to try it , I posted a thread on here and someone volunteered...never heard a word since.

Hi Keith
I went up there when i first got my vert and they said it is the same as the marcos so should be easy to reproduce. As you said, they asked for a ginea pig.As i understand it that was a few month ago so should be ready. I guess we need to call them.
I have often wondered if the MK1 arms would fit and what they would look like
