Hi Glenn, congratulations....I was the owner (and originator of the plate) T66 TUS, 3 owners ago , before the receproved oil cooler was fitted .
During my year with it, it was faultless (apart from a window endcoder issue) and I always warmed it up properly and pampered to it's every whim. It was a fanatastic car ...the original 'batmobile' .
It would be nice to see it again in the flesh ...I'm now in another MK1 Tuscan ...M77TUS.
Have alot of fun .

Hi Mattus,

Small world, its so good to hear from other people who have had history with the car.

You calling the car the original 'batmobile' is so funny because that is what I said to macky17 (Niall) when I first saw it in the flesh. Not just me being the sad case. ;0)

I was going to put my daily run around plate G13NNH onto what ever I purchased, but when this car popped up and I saw the plate, the decision was made... I was also born in 66, the only improvement I think could be T666TUS... ;0)

Nice to hear your ownership was faultless and that you always warmed it up correctly, gives me more confidence in regards to rebuild/no rebuild.

Where are you based, do you do any of the events, typical there are two on this Sunday, one PHEA run to Aldeburgh, and someone mentioned a TVR meet in Lincoln area I think, its in this thread, but I have a prior engagement.

I will do a future event so If you also do them (depending where you are based) you can see her again!

It is amazing that so many people put Tuscan number plates on their cars, I think I will be shocked when I see one without one, you seem to have a talent for sourcing them and kudos on the plate that I love! ;0).

had the 400, was an amazing car, loved every day of owning it, but after having to sell it I always knew I would be back. the only option was a Tuscan....I was suppose to be picking my Tuscan up on the 10th May, but my rubbish company have decided to hold of on my redundancy payment until 20th, so hope to collect that evening.

cannot wait, I only worry that I will miss the awesome Sleeved RV8 noise...

im currently based in Newmarket, so close to you all. Saying that im moving back to Cambridge in a few weeks.

missing this weekends festivities, as I have a 96th birthday party. Normally I would put the birthday on hold, but at 96, I believe we should celebrate every year.

enjoy the the weekend, and when my car arrives, I will be out there enjoying it

I didn't know about the Burghley event, only just got the car, will not be able to make this one, prior engagement... is it a TVR club event - members only, how often do they meet? I would definitely attend the next one.

It's the first major TVRCC event of the year, which is usually held at Chatsworth House around this time every year, although Chatsworth wasn't available for us this year so it's at Burghley instead.

Hopefully, there will be around 600 cars all TVR's of all types and models from all over the country. It's run by the Car Club but you don't have to be a member to go, but you get two for one discount on entry to the house if you are a member, for those who want to visit it.

There will be a number of TVR stalls, and there's a food fare there this weekend.

There's more details about it under the TVR Events forum on here.

We'll have to meet up sometime, there's not that many of us around these parts.

Cheers for now.

Yeah I'm doing well for 96 ......

Gutted to be missing it, always wanted to go to chatsworth, but always a little to far to travel a he time, typically now it's local to me I cannot make it. Oh well onwards and upwards

Hi Niall, I bet you cannot wait...

I will have to take a look at some point.

I do not know if you have noticed but it has not rained since I adopted your car! ;0)
