I recently had a high speed blow out on my Tuscan Red Rose on the way down to Le Mans.

I must say thet the car behaved well and came to a controlled stop with no real dramas.
WELL DONE TVR !

The problem starts when you get the 2 cans of foam out of the boot and realise that they are completly useless for anything other than a tiny slow puncture.

They will not fill a split in the side wall or any other defect which may occur.

Trying to get a rear tyre for a Tuscan in France is almost impossible.

They don't tell you that in the showroom when you hand over your money do they !

I had to get a spare wheel and tyre sent out from the UK before I could continue the journey which took 3 days. (Many thanks to Westovers @ Blandford for the loan and the delivery driver Dave)

All other Tuscan owners or any other car with no spare should think about what happens if !!!!!!!

What ever happened to the space saver spare or any other get you home device ?
