Thanks for posting pictures of your unique Cerbera and the Tuscan Racer. In 2003 I bought my first Tuscan S. It was the first car in left hand drive for Germany. I was very happy with this tremendously quick car. The El Melling straight six was one of the best engines I have ever driven and I think the AJP is also a Al Melling construction. But the Tuscan was tricky to drive at high speeds because of the very sharp steering. One year later I bought my second Tuscan S. I also ordered the new Typhon during a factory visit with the German dealer. But unfortunately it never was delivered and They didn`t pay back the deposit. I think Peter wheeler sold the company just in time to Nicolai Smolenski before he run into substancial financial problems. And for Nicolai the Company was more or less only a toy. I regret very much that this company disappeared now. Do you still race your cerbera? I think the cerbera was the best looking car TVR ever built.
Best wishes
