1999 TVR Tuscan AJP Challenge Car For Sale by Auction
It was raced by Mike Jordan during the 1999 and 2000 seasons in 'JG-John Guest' livery scoring four wins in 1999 and three wins in 2000, finishing runner up in the championship in that final year. The car was generally thought to be one of the very best developed Tuscans on the grid and, in addition to being particularly well-presented, enjoyed an extensive test and development programme which helped produce consistent results. Indeed, over the 1999/ 2000 seasons the car won all four races at Castle Combe with its special Penske dampers giving a major advantage on the notoriously bumpy high-speed circuit.
The car was sold at the end of the 2000 season and competed occasionally in other people's hands but generally remained in storage until it was bought back by Mike Jordan in 2018. Mike, along with his son Andrew (the 2013 BTCC Champion), are now the proud owners of the respected historic race car team, Jordan Racing Team (JRT) and, after Mike acquired his old Tuscan back, he entrusted it to his own team to fully rebuild the car to his exacting standards.
The car was completely stripped back to the bare chassis which was bead blasted, checked on a surface plate and then re-coated. The engine was fully rebuilt by Simon Woo, who had previously worked as the engine builder at the TVR factory race team and the Penske dampers were rebuilt and calibrated to the original settings using information from Penske. The bodywork was refinished and repainted in its original livery by Normandales and all graphics were recreated, using the original 1999 files, by Action Graphics.
The car was fully reassembled using new bearings/ fasteners etc. as required. A new chassis and engine wiring loom were produced and fitted, alongside a new dry-sump oil tank with ATEC oil and fuel hoses and a new radiator and oil cooler were also fitted. The latest GT3 FIA window-net was fitted with a new Schroth harness and a Tillett seat mounted on strengthened mountings.
This car never wanted for anything when it raced in 1999 and 2000 and, similarly, has had the best of everything during its recent complete and comprehensive rebuild.
Simply put, this is the best TVR Tuscan race car you will find and benefits from the provenance of having been totally rebuilt by JRT. It could not be replicated for anywhere near this guide price, considering the amount of high-quality work to get it to this standard and consequently this seems like a remarkable opportunity.
