2001 TVR Tuscan Speed 6 Cup-Racer

Posted by Robert.Maddrey On June - 9 - 2012

Even though there have been numerous tweaks to the Tuscan's chassis and suspension, the overall size and appearance of the variants remain virtually identical apart from minor aerodynamic aids to the S model adding a front under-tray and a small boot-lid spoiler on the rear.
