Hey! Yeah, very early one!

Its had a rebuild (tvr power) which was done 8 years back and 21000 miles ago so fingers crossed!

That's cheap?!

Quite a collection of new(ish) Tuscan owners starting to crop up in this corner of Surrey. Need to nominate a Sunday B road blast together, the local TVRCC don't seem much interested in weekend stuff.

You, travelbug63 & myself would generate a nice set of colour shades in convoy.

Didn't realise they did the RR that early.

I didnt know they did either...it was rebuilt at TVRPOWER to redrose spec but the owner said it was RR out the factory but will need to check.

This seems like an appropriate moment to offer my congratulations, and introduce myself to the forum too as I have recently also agree to buy a 2000 Tuscan in crystal topaz. Think mine was owned previously by pistonheads member 'PaulU'. I am from Scotland, but car is currently at Str8six having extensive work done including an engine rebuild to Red Rose spec, AC fitted and interior reupholstered, plus lots more.

Excited doesn't come close to describing my anticipation of collecting it in about five weeks!! Let us know how she is when you get yours.

I've agreed to buy one too, hopefully collecting later this week. I'm near Gatwick so another new owner in the (near) Surrey area.

Sounds good to me !

I've got mine booked in for a service on Friday to the guys in Ewell, all been well then thought I may head on down to Brighton on Saturday for the Speed Trials.

I'm also thinking of doing the car limits training course. I'd rather than it's limits on a safe track then on the road... Anyone else ??
