What’s special about this listing
***DEPOSIT TAKEN***
A unique opportunity to own an exquisitely restored, sub-6,000 mile TVR Tuscan (MK1), offered in stunning Le Mans blue exterior paint with contrasting creme light interior. Powered by the TVR Speed6 , producing 360bhp and 290 lbs/ft torque, the motor propels the Tuscan from 0-60 in only 4.4 seconds (not too shabby for an early 2000's machine)
This example has enjoyed an extensive and sympathetic restoration of chassis, body, and engine, to include the following:
2x Chilled cast camshafts.
24x Later type finger followers.
24x Nitrided valves.
24x Cast valve guides.
24x Uprated valve seats.
24x Valve stem seals.
Composite head-gasket with revised coolant gallery layout.
