Lovely colour, interesting mods. Do they continue under the bonnet?
Dont think so mate, i only have these from the *very* short lived advert...
It belonged to a guy called Jeff (his surname escapes me at present) in Halifax for many years, he sold it when he moved to the West Indies to open a bar. I bought a set of Wolfies from him, it would be about 2005/6. Was a real TVR enthusiast back in the 1980s, he also had PWC600 which is now a racer. I don't think he put the front spoiler or rear lip on it, they have been it on for ages. I last sa it at the Pre 80s meeting at Ruddington Park in 2008.

Interesting stuff Oliver, i thought someone would recognise it !. And ties in somewhat with what David Geralds told me.Oliver.

The car came out of the blue, just had a look on car and classic this afternoon, and David Geralds had quite literally that minute listed the car. Its not perfect by any stretch, and has some minor mods etc, but i liked it instantly and the price i thought from a Dealer was very fair indeed. (read---bought unseen and on pure instinct only....fate even..) 
Hope none of you shoot me down with any horror stories of this car !
almost the same as this one :-) Hope none of you shoot me down with any horror stories of this car !
or is it the same but with other plates?

That has got to be the same car my friend, so what year was this advert from?? Given Olivers input i guess it is a previous owner "Jeff" he refers to ? or is it the same but with other plates?

When I look under details from the 5 or so pictures I have from that car, the oldest date is 15-10-2007 so I guess the advert is from about that time?Sandy

Great find Sandy. I wish you many happy miles and loads of fun.
Is this the first Tuscan for sale this year in the UK?

That would be about right. The last owner has owned the car for 7 years. Can you post up any other pictures please?Sandy
I also had the original page from the ad in my collect for sale TVR's but since then I had 2 PC crash and all mails were gone...
That is the same car, the owner was called Jeff Pole (the name came to me a couple of days ago) which ties in with the registration plate. Those photos are taken outside the lock up garage where he stored it in Sowerby Bridge, and where I collected the Wolfies from. He had a wine bar in Sowerby Bridge called Bar Francisca, which was his second wife's name and she was from the West Indies which was they had decided to emigrate to open a bar in a far better climate than the middle of the Pennines.
Sorry I can't remember which island they were moving to, but I suggest to get the rest of your new car's history you need to take a long holiday, stopping at bars in Barbados, Jamaica, Antigua...

I know a little about DWY, if you've any questions just ask. Jeff claimed the engine was rebuilt with big valves and fast road cam just before he sold it. It certainly sounds good. I have a couple of plcs when it had a vinyl roof, I'll post them when I get time. The carb is a 40 DFI.
