Errr, what's that behind it? It looks like the front end of a Tuscan, but it has a Griff or Chim windscreen and has no roof.

mmmm

Blimey

Dont know whether to love it or hate it. I think its like some records, you have to hear them a few times before you appreciate them. Have to say, the only issue I have is the spoiler, But so what! owning a Tusc is all about individualism anyway. Good luck to the owner and perhaps he/she can post to debate the car. Whatever its a head turner!

The front is interesting. Nice alternative to the cheese grater.

The side skirts the jury is out about.

The wing is right out.

Well spotted. Anyone know who's the modded Chim/Griff / roofless Tusc is?

And left the rear as standard? Or has he put an ironing board on his, too?

Never mind the eyes, I haven't mentioned my strategically placed sweet spot

I would be interested to know how he's done that!

As for the "real" Tuscan - Love the colour, but the skirts don't compliment the curves of the car at all and the back? mmmm Wacky Racers anybody?
All IMO of course, but I think because TVRs already look astounding they just don't look right with the XR3i body kit attatched.

TVR's design trend in the last 15 years has been the lovely curves and I think they're timeless designs.

Maybe there's somet wrong with me?

Interesting from end.

With dee low skirts like that, you really need bigger wheels. 20" ideally, 19"s at the very least.

Although the wing has the right curves, IMO it's a massive no no!

Oh, and the exhausts stick out too far...

Each to their own though, just as long as they don't pack it outside my house!

That's a PHers car. I remember the exhuasts being the topic of discussion. Possibly cactous's? I thought that he had stuffed some 19s or 20s under teh wheel arches though.
