Firstly hi all,
i'm new to the site, am 21 and currently drive an '92 Audi cabriolet (although this is up for sale!) and once sold will be on the look out for a mk1 Tuscan, have roughly £20/22K to spend so probably about a 2000/2001 model.
I gather that full SH is a must and the general feeling is that they can be abit temperamental but the grin factor far outways the bad points but dont fully understand what to look for in the way of engine rebiulds. Should i dismiss any car that has not been rebiult ? Also should things like leaky roofs and doors filling with water been done under warranty ?

Any advice on other things to look for would be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to owning my first tvr !!
Cheers, Lew

Thanks to all you guys, its all greatly appreciated.
Will keep on reading through both the tuscan and speed six forums, try and gather as much info as possible before going for it ! Must also look into the warranty side of it.
Also must get to afew meets before summer to speak to current owners etc..
Does anynoe know of any big events coming up ?
Cheers, Lew

I'm in Scunthorpe, often head over to Cleethopes in the summer for a quick drive out !
Tuscan looks stunning, are you a maxd car member !?! I have a few mates that joined a while back.

Think joining TVRCC would be a good plan baz, then i could check out dates for myself instead of asking you guys !
