This venerable TVR Tuscan V6 was first registered in December 1969, and despite looking like an out and out racecar, is a perfectly viable road-registered road car with a wonderful motorsport history

1971 - Races 19 - 1st 4 - 2nd 5 - 3rd 8
1972 - Races 19 - 1st 5 - 2nd 9 - 3rd 4
1973 - Races 12 - 1st 6 - 2nd 2 - 3rd 1
