Speaking of cars we can't have here, I will own a TVR Tuscan one day.
I have a theory, which I need to fully establish that there are two poles to automotive culture. Tool and Art. Both are intentionally vague so as to apply to a wide variety of uses, such that both a Toyota Corolla, Jeep, and Porsche 911 can all be thought of as [mostly] strictly Tools for their respective purposes. Cars that are tools are the ones most often seen modified due to the universal and therefore slightly generic usefulness. But the TVR Tuscan is not a Tool. It is art, and it fills me with pure lust for it. For instance, the gauge cluster.
It might be enough that it's such an unusual and beautiful thing, in it's static form with it's water-jet brass face and otherworldly coloring. But when it moves, the speedometer does not sweep continually, it steps in 2mph increments like a watch. It's absurd and wonderful. Even if it didn't have a booming normally aspirated 360hp+ inline 6 and gorgeous body with eerie color shift paint, I would want one just for the cluster. And to think that they can be had in fine running condition for something like 30,000 USD in England. The desire is burning.

While I'd rather have a Sagaris or a Typhon (like THAT would ever happen), I do love the Tuscan. Not a fan of the dot lights, though, so I'd take the Tuscan II.

Your opinion makes me very happy, because I believe it is relatively widely held, meaning the values of the Tuscan Mk1s will continue to remain reasonable. I have to wait quite a few more years until they are legal to import.

I like S15s, but I don't love them. Rauh-Welt Begriff (RWB) has changed my opinion with this S15.
If we could have these wheels in GT6, I would recreate this. I know GTA V has wheels that look just like those, I believe they are called "Rough Weld". Similar to "Rauh-Welt" which means "Rough World".

, and we have this kind of wheels on gt6 but to get this style we need the options of enlarge wheels and wheels spacers ! And for sure we will never get these options on GT6 unfortunately.

Nope.

Why?
In the US, laws on reg changes state to state. But some states(I know New York does) do have the reg in the windshield that shows the year and make of the car.But seeing that those are manufacturer plates they are not register to certain model.
