What's this then - looking to modify the V8S you are looking for already? Rich...

I was looking for the same thing a year or so ago. There are plenty around, but most are pretty crappy, and they aren't cheap. Expect to pay anything from £17k - £29k, bepending on age, condition and spec. If you're looking at a relatively recent one, you'll need to find an engine. If you find one of the Rover engined cars, you'll probably still have a reasonable amount to do to it, as the engine (if original) will be pretty old. A good place to start is Autosport, CCC, or Motoring News. James

Try ringing Steve Howard - Thames Valley Racing in Hurst. He seems to have loads everytime I'm there. He also conversted one for road use.

can I ask, why Chepstow?

[James]

Good choice. Did you manage to get hold of an original Tuscan race engine, or is it a new one you've had built? What's the history of the car? James

Steve Howard's roadgoing Tuscans have AJP8s as the race cars. There seems to be a few Cerberas being broken for spares. Universal Salvage supplied 2 badly damaged ones. The Tuscan Steve did for a customer was the ex James Crofts car driven by J C-W. This car was featured in EVO, CCC and CAR magazines. The total cost was under £30,000. When last speaking to Steve, he says he could do one for a lot less.
