Tuscan V6 chassis numbers
Discussion
We have now compiled a register of nearly all the 101 Tuscan V6’s originally manufactured, but some chassis numbers are still needed.
If you have a Tuscan V6 please PM me with the original UK registration, colour and chassis number and we will ensure it’s correctly recorded. The full register will be available to owners as soon as it’s completed!
Many thanks

There is already a Vixen and Tuscan register. It would maybe make more sense just to share info with Antonio Steinhauser at his excellent TVR Vixen Register ??
N.
Yes we thought about including his information but in many cases it’s unfortunately out of date as cars have changed hands, countries or continents and owners haven’t let him know - or cars have not been added to the list by their owners to start with (like your own one). N.
The register will be comprehensive, more detailed and also won’t be available on a public website.
Yes GTR that’s a ‘known’ car, I’m still hoping we can find some more of the ‘lost’ ones, and ultimately be able to fill in any history that current or new owners are missing.
I would also like to thank you for your efforts over the many years of prolific posting of photos of the pre 80’s cars that we trawled through for Tuscans! Keep going!

Hi Al,
That's weird as I sent 2 emails to your email ID. (xxxppynorxxx@). No failed message back either.
However after a bit of research & thinking, I don't think I'm the right person to take it on. A bit of a luddite technically I'm afraid and I think it would be well beyond my talents.

Strange that, other have got though ok. But no problem, its a bit of a major task is a Vixen register !That's weird as I sent 2 emails to your email ID. (xxxppynorxxx@). No failed message back either.

So how many have you got now? I seem to remember that about 50-odd survived. However I bet a good 30% of those are V8’s now.
Still a work in progress! It’s not easy to match up foreign plates to former uk ones though, and a leading question is what exactly is ‘survived’? I have decided that survivors are taxed or have established recent use (ie racing) and/or photos.Incidentally yours was electric blue gone dark blue is that correct?

There seem to be lots of folk trading on ebay these days who add no value..... !!
I see a story with this car, Most likely an old boy, not connected to the internet, not too tech savvy and most likely he was quite happy with his 5k or so he sold the car for... One trailer ride and a bucket of soap and water later I suspect the reserve price will be of the order of 13-15k.... Some out there will no doubt start to talk about the market forces of supply and demand.. in my view however someone will have been undersold and someone else will overpay... then in about 5 years time that person who has overpaid and used up 5 years of his life will be told that his car is not worth £50k.... But the soap and bucket man earned a 10k mark up for a day out with his car trailer...
Like I said.. it seems in the world these days it doesn't pay to add value!! just buy any s
tter you can find and add a couple of grand on... someone will always pay!!

But the fact remains, why does it matter what the seller bought it for? Apart from envy I can’t see it’s relevant as it’s now it will realise its value. I’m sure you’re right about how it ended up on eBay but that’s history I see a story with this car, Most likely an old boy, not connected to the internet, not too tech savvy and most likely he was quite happy with his 5k or so he sold the car for...

If that same old chap had sold it to you for £5k I doubt you’d be happy to sell it just for that plus your petrol getting it !
You’ve also just denigrated every jeweller in the country and I must say I agree with you there but it’s a different market.
It’s not a million miles from me but I’ve got no space left.
