Can only echo what's said above, don't let mileage put you off. A used car tends to be a reliable car.

Tees Valley Region meet at The Parkmore Hotel, Eaglescliffe TS16 0DH
North East Region Premier Lodge (Wheatsheaf) - 1 mile south of Newcastle Airport main entrance.

thanks Daggsy that's exactly what I'm looking for ill be there for sure. Will you be going?

PS those TVRS look stunning the red Tuscan looks awesome.

As said before I'd personally steer clear of cars with such low miles but it's probably worth a look. Clutch/seals indicate that low usage effect. It says it's had a rebuild but you need to see an invoice to see who and what. It's a very early car so will have definitely needed or will still need a rebuild. Suspension will be the early design which was later improved but as said before, it all comes down to setup and this one has been treated to a set of adjustable dampers. £20k is top money for a year 1 build car.

I wouldn't for a private but this is just a window for a dealer who's personal car it is.

Low mileage wouldn't bother me one little bit. Looks well worth a look. Overall the condition looks to back up the blurb.
These cars look tatty quickly if not treated carefully and ones in original condition are hard to find. Just make sure that the rebuild is properly documented - ideally you want to see TVR Power or Str8Six on the paperwork.

[Milky400]

Agree, looks a good car.

Thanks Byker I'll drop him a line. Does it seem cheap to you?

I found out a lot about my first Tuscan by trolling through pistonheads, unfortunately after I bought it, although it wasn't to late and added some background information on the issues I had when speaking with the dealer regarding a full refund.

This is exactly what I want to avoid, what was wrong?
