I saw a pale blue Tuscan in Central London this week. It was reg RX61 .... I didn't think there were any TVRs registered that late but according to DVLA, there are also 2 x 2012 registered and one in 2013!

Re - imported? Or languishing unregistered somewhere?

Will more than likely have been made up by one of the larger outfits (RG, STR8SIX etc) from parts left over when the factory shut, finished and registered when it was done. There have been a few.

Still a couple being built now too, so it likely won't be the last!

Mine was registered in 2010 by Racing Green. It wasn't put together just not sold previously.

I saw an unregistered delivery miles Chimaera available for sale about a year ago (quite nasty battleship grey). That would be on a 2015 plate if it has sold.

Yep, RX61 is me - was just taking her for her 2 weekly leg stretch last weds. Kontortion is indeed right in that it was finished off by RG in 2011. Not sure what state of completion it was in when the factory closed, but she is a wavy dash mk3 and has some none standard bits like the RG FFF engine and a quaife diff. I know they did another one in 2012, and still have the sagaris they are in the process of doing which is on the classifieds

Weirdly the how many left site is saying the only 2011 one is SORN!!! I just had to go check it was taxed - luckily it is as the data on that chart is from q4 2014

There is another interesting setting you can plot on the graph where it shows licensed and SORN as separate lines and there is a definite uptrend in the number or Tuscans that are getting hidden in garages
