They are awesome Welcome to the forum, by the way. Got any pics of your tici?

We have another member on here who I believe has one. (I'm not trying to be funny, I genuinely don't know.)

You'll never guess his username.

Anyway, here's his profile.

As Zil says, I have a complete TiCi and a new shell fo a TiCi.

Some history on the TiCi Here

The chap who built my TiCi (back in 1973) has acquired another three examples (as posted above)
GAY400L is one of the original publicity cars driven by Sir Stirling Moss

Oh - and as for the fuel tank I think it was a Reliant Regal tank.
I have a copy of the original build manual (.pdf manual link)

Does your TiCi have all the panels and the roll over bar and the front suspension mounting brackets or was it one of the bare shells sold off by the liquidator in 1973?
There should be a Bourne Plastics bodyshell Serial number label laminated into the body under the dashboard area on the main shell.

Ian Mitcheson got some of the panels re-manufactured (dash, rear valence, hardtop and QD doors) if yours are missing

It does not help when the DVLA can't even get the car's make correct on the V5

Mine is listed as a T1Ci rather than a TiCi
