Just wondering how many Tuscan'R's have been built.
Any ideas? I remember seeing Peter wheeler driving a red one at a back home event a couple of years back.

I'd also be interested..

Can't be many..? Bet there are more T400Rs or T440Rs than there are TuscanR's..?

Yep have got it!

I've framed them all now Should be worth a few bob..

The bloke sold me the V8 gold badge aswell, I couldn't help myself.. plus one went for nearly £100 squid once on eBay I think, so the price I paid (a bit less) was a bargain!

As far as I am aware there's no Tuscan R's out and about. Before they built any customer cars they rebadged as the T400R/T440R of which only one customer car has been built so far...








Then of course came the Typhon (Supercharged T440R) and there was one customer car 'almost' finished over a year ago and ever since... well your guess is as good as mine




However there have been a fair few prototypes built of the TuscanR/T400/T440R and dare say these might be out on the road as test mules?

Still the DBs though!

Thanks for all the info sofar guys.
The reason for asking was that uncle Dave and I both purchased a Tuscan'R' Boot badge on ebay, and i imagine that they might be a little bit rare, making the badge worth something some day,(not that i'm ever going to sell it, are we Dave?

Yep...



It was a lucky find, I saw it just after the other Dave - He beat me to the gold one so I had to settle for chrome

Then about 12 hours later, bought the V8 one, couldn't resist!

It was Peter Wheelers transport at the time the photo was taken (at HL Gorners open day), he turned up on the Saturday morning in it.

Sounds like there could be a few Racing T400R's on the market shortly...
