Lovely Tuscan for sale

Hi everyone. I am looking at possibly going from a Chimaera to this lovely Tuscan. The advert does not give much away and I have not had chance to speak with the dealer yet. Does anyone know the car and history, is that a fair asking price. And no information on the advert about a rebuild. Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
Kev

Usual TVR conditions apply.
Is the engine a basket case, or some form of rebuild?
Is the chassis clean and tidy?
Smaller issues.
When was the clutch and slave done
Who did and when was the last 12K.

It looks tidy, like. The interior colours are a challenge, personally speaking.

Eyes open and Bon Chance!

My 2p. Looks a lot of money for a 50k 12/13 year old Tuscan.

I have been thinking about a Tuscan and I would be heading down the M4 if I was sure about moving away from the Chim:

Love the colour, looks great.

[KEVTVR]

Thanks for the feedback guys and hoping for lots more, it does seem a very high price for the 51k miles ?

Hi Kev, it's an S so will attract a premium, I know a few people that have gone from Chim to a standard Mk1 Tuscan, no need to buy an S is the general comment, speak to Mike W from the EMTVRCC, he'll confirm this.

By the way, did you know the Tamora was a far better car than the Tuscan

[KEVTVR]

Hi Bob, yes I do like the Tamora and would love one in red, what do you think to this one

Hi Kev, apologies for being flippant, the Tuscan is a great car, I often think about trading in the Tam for a Tuscan, my current favourite is the Nebula blue Mk1, that said I do the same with the Cerbera Speed 6 and the T350 LOL.

The red Tam looks good value, the best one for sale on PH at the moment imho, get it for sub £21k and I think it's a bargain, I'm around all weekend, so if you want to drive a Tam give me a shout.

Have to agree with TVRMs on this one......Sorry

[KEVTVR]

Just had this from the dealer, can anyone tell what they think is a fair cash price, no p/X ......Thanks

"The Engine rebuild was done by TVR Engineering Ltd Blackpool in 2006.
The chassis is in very good order as you will see when you inspect it.
The last service was by TVR Torque RVT local to us in Middlewich, Cheshire at 48,444 miles on the 31/01/2015.
The clutch and Slave seals was done at the same garage on 22 June this year. "

Kev, what about the grey car at Tony Gilbert and havent straight six got a nice one in

[so roll me further bitch]

You have got more chance of buying a car with a good engine from a company like straight six

[swisstoni]

I can't see much wrong with the car if there is paperwork to match the claims of the dealer tbh.
S's were about £10k more than standard cars new, and are rarer.

[KEVTVR]

Thanks guys for the feedback, they are asking £28950. I know this is way too high, so as a cash buyer where do you think I should be aiming for. I was thinking £26000 seems about right ???

[m4tti]

How many have you looked at?

[KEVTVR]

this will be the 3rd, the second was on sale at Chatsworth last week.

[m4tti]

Looking at the S cars for sale Id say the schmoo car is better value.

Tuscans are far departed from a chimaera in many respects. Have a look at the thread in my profile, it'll give you a flavour of what can happen. But there's no doubt any of the speed six range will likely increase in value having one of the last solely British designed and built engines.
