I just read on the Pistonheads site about the European Whole Vehicle Type
Approval for the Morgan Aero 8.
Is TVR working on this for the Tuscan ?
I have been promised delivery of my LHD
Tuscan 3.6 in February 2002 , but to get it
legally registered in Belgium, the car needs this
approval.
Any news on this mr. Petrolted ?

Thanks.

Koen.

Thom,

My car is ordered from Alvan Motors (the belgian TVR importer). They have orders now for 8 or 9 LHD Tuscans in total. The factory will start delivering these LHD cars in january 2002. The only problem is the european type approval which might not be achieved in time. So probably all the first delivered cars will be registered on English numberplates. If you want more information, please give a call to Alain Vandriessche (+32 9282 2453)from Alvan Motors.
As far as I know, there are only a couple of LHD Cerberas in existance.
These cars have been rebuild from a RHD
Cerbera by the Swiss TVR importer.
This is an expensive operation (I heard +4000 GBP). On the Cerbera section of the Pistonheads site, there is a picture of one of these, and maybe some
more information.

Dominiek,

what insurance company did you use ?
Not every company is prepared to insure a car just on the chassis nr.
By the way, how are reactions on the
Tuscan in Belgium ?
