seen them for sale in classified on Ph and also a few are popping up in e-bay too now see HERE

Woulndt mind adding one of these to my collection but although they say they are a limited addition of 300 cant help feeling that that will be just for that make/company and that there will be others for sale when we get to le Mans next year anyhow.

On e-bay they are going for £85
On here think someone was selling for around £60.

But I know for sure that a company had them for sale for 42 Dollars

What do u reckon, leave it for know??

I bought mine on ebay for between £20-30 from Germany, unmade. Quite easy to build, hardest part was finding the right yellow to spray it in. Can be made as no. 91 or 92 with corresponding changes in decals. Why not buy two and have a brace.
Also just managed to get the Shorty racing Cerbera, which I think was made by the same company but is no longer available. Praise ebay.

Cheers Al.

you could always just get the scalextric models 6 in total with 4 liveries

Shorty
racesport
eclipse *2
Dewalt *2

the first 2 need to be bought in the set from argos the other 2 from somewhere like scalemodels.co.uk

the models them selves are good enough just to use as display if you dont want to use them !!!!

G ( with all 6)

How about one of these? you will also need to find the right yellow spray and some decals if you want the factory Le Mans livery.

Its a little bit more expensive though!..

Provence Moulage do a resin Kit for about £37 and is available from Grand Prix Models. The correct colour is RAL 1004 which can be made up at Halfords

Very detailed model but a bit too heavy for the book shelf I'm afraid.

Yes the Tuscan is Provence Moulage resin and comes with all the decals to do no. 91 or 92. I bought my kit on ebay so have no idea where abouts in Germany it came from. The SMTS Speed 12 is excellent and having the extra weight of a metal kit gives it a more quality feel than resin. Hopefully SMTS will also do the Tuscan and T350/Sagaris racers as they do all the road cars for the factory. Shame they never did the Tuscan Challenge racers. If anyone has a spare Scalextric size Tuscan racer shell, that I believe were available through the club quite a while ago I would be most interested.

Cheers Al.

what's with the rear lights on that car? Have I missed something or does it look like the Tuscan S prototypes from a few years back? It certainly looks different to the Le Mans 2003 cars...

Where abouts are you getting yours from?
I could only find then on Grandprix models - and they seem to be out of stock.
Quite fancy the speed 12 as well - does anyone know the correct colour for that?

That is how the lights were originally, back when it was called a Tuscan R, the Le Mans cars are the newer T400R, although basically it is the same car, some bits changed over time as is TVRs way!
