Hello,

A French friend of mine bought some month ago, during a -french also- auction, a TVR tuscan V8 wich some history is missing:
Registred WOO 719S
Win is TUS/1101/68568
Last owners known are :
"coupes of london" (?)25 sheldon RD, London
And before: JW PASQUALE, Tadworth.

No history could be found, even by owner's UK friends, before 1977, so about 10 years history missing.

Race car before?

I must add that the bonnet seems to be longer (about 10 cms) than the Tuscan "usual" one ...

Thanks for him, if you can help!

Best

François

In 2005 I have a J W Pasquale in Lewes, Sussex with who I assume is his wfe. Perhaps he/she is/are still there. PM me if you want the info
Roger Lund

edit. Apologies. Lewes is only about 30/50kms south of Tadworth and is a popular retirement location. RL

And you, John ("sharman" for here): I know your great TVR 's knowledge: nothing about longer bonnet?

Sorry you missed Pau, John: always fantastic !

Too late for me Francois, I stop at the Mk3 Grantura. Didn't go to Pau, too busy trying to find cars for June.
