When the film studio emailed TVR asking for a car to use in the film, TVR ignored it as they thought it was a practical joke! It took about a dozen calls for the factory to take them seriously about "borrowing" the cars for the film!

One of the four cars was riddled with bullets during the filming (deliberately!). When the car arrived back at UK customs, they delayed authorising the vehicle until they checked with the factory that the car was acceptable in that condition!

I think 3 of the cars have gone to "regular" customers and the one with the bullet holes is often displayed by TVR at public events.

The cars did not have EC type approval when the film was made, but it was very close to being released. There are no plans to sell Tuscans in the US, due to emissions, safety, and a host of other reasons. A bit of a shame, as they are great cars. Actually, I'll let you know in a couple of weeks when mine arrives. Should manage some Empeg install pics while I'm at it!

Cheers,

Robin
