Isn't the Tuscan a bit pricey (and less bang for the buck) to begin 
with?  Aren't there better deals available here?

If I were going to get a car in that style, I'd probably get an Ariel 
Atom.  It would be cheap to work on with that turbo GM Ecotec in it. 
Getting parts for an engine which isn't sold in quantity in the US is 
too expensive for me.

If you want something even more exotic, you could probably build an 
IndyCycle.  I was thinking about it a few years ago, but decided on 
something more practical.
