TVR Tuscan spotted - Las Vegas strip

[nonuts]

Didn't think there were many / any over here but one just drove past our hotel earlier, looked silver or one of the reflex silver colours from up here.

That'll be this one then....

It's been doing the rounds and started off in Miami and was spotted driving around FL by some PHers. It then popped up in a dealership in LV for $298k

There's some question marks as to how it got here and it's legality, however I too plan to get mine over here one day as it's evidently possible!

[unrepentant]

It's not legal. The dealership claimed that it was titled in Alaska.............

So if it's been titled and registered in Alaska (which is obviously a US State and the DMV/DOT applies) why is it illegal?

What it's titled and registered as is the key? Is it a special, custom or reconstructed vehicle? Is it titled as something else completely? I could see that you may be able to get away with titling it as a customised Jag E-type as it would fit the decription and construction of one.

Interesting, does look like it could have been that one, however I was sure it didn't have a Tuscan 2 style spoiler on the back!

Hi Dave,
Hows Chicago ? I'm back in Chicago again for a couple of days in August.
Any progress with your Tuscan transfer ?
