Away with work and a bit of time to waste I started watching videos/clips of TVR's racing. Which led me on to thinking when I first seen them, can't remember the year but it was at Croft and the 'power tour' which featured British GT, including a Scania speed 12, a Cerb and a host of varying Tuscans (I believe these were badged Tuscan R). That then got me thinking since then I have only seen two of the GT Type race cars ever since in current years, Str8six with the Texaco branded one and at the NEC Classic last yeah I believe was the LNT purple and orange. Where are the Le Mans racers Dewalt/ Synergy cars? And the other GT racers of that time?

Yes it's at Gaydon, but it's registered on their long term loan list, so not theirs, wonder if TVR still own it? And what happened to the other Dewalt Le Mans car? There are still a few I can't find answers for.

A mate of mine owns one of them. The others are scattered around. I know of another one, but not the others.
Which one does he own? Is he racing it, restoring it etc?

Spotted yesterday...

That is stunning! Glad to see it still around and by the looks of it I'm very good condition. I think I have gotten confused between the LNT and the eclipse Harmon Larson car as they were of similar colour, not sure if they are one of the same in a different livery or separate cars. Thanks for posting that picture.

Ok thanks V8 GRF, I seen the one at TVR101 on Facebook today but did not know it wasn't a fully fledged racer. Do you know if they are building it to put on track? I'd love to see the LNT collection. Just spiked my interest as I understand they are going to run a race series next year for 90's/00's GT cars, Goodwood members meeting are doing a demonstration run I believe, wondered if next year we would see them come out of hiding and screaming around tracks.

Thanks for the response.

That link was a good read and very informative, thanks for pointing me in that direction.
