First TVR. Tuscan red Rose
Discussion
Picked up this on Thursday, a TVR Tuscan Red Rose.
I finally found myself in a position to buy my dream car after lusting after one since their launch. The owner of this car sent me a pm after reading one of my threads on Tuscans when I was reading up on the cars.
The car was only 20 minutes up the road from me so I went to have a look last Sunday. I tried not to let my heart rule my head so I got an inspection from Rob Ingleby.
Everything checked out so I bit the bullet and negotiated a decent price with the owner.
I had a couple of TVR moments on the first night. First, the drivers window didn't wind down when I tried to open the door. This was fixed by locking and unlocking the car. The second came when the gear stick came off. I got it back on now but that was pretty scary!
I have been driving with the roof off this weekend and I'm smitten! The engine note goes from gruff to a full on howl around 4-5 thousand revs. Fabulous.
I am taking it very easy indeed until I am more used to the car. Their reputation precedes them.
As first rear wheen drive cars go, I think this is a good one!
