Reckon a Noble is a bit out of budget really, and whilst they're stunning cars to look at, from the inside they leave a lot to be desired IMO. I would love to have one one day - but not yet!
Test driving my first Tuscan tomorrow afternoon. Hoping for good weather + dry roads...
Good luck Calum. Has mine to Glasgow on Sat and Sun visiting my friends. Test driving my first Tuscan tomorrow afternoon. Hoping for good weather + dry roads...
Had some fun with a Gallardo as well.
john how's the noble going.

Really appreciated the ride G, absolutely stunning car. I put up two short videos. iPhone doesn't really do it justice as you'd expect but still - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhUhNyXi_ms and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx16jjHJ7p4
@Tuscanny - I'm looking at one Barry Martin has for sale. Hexham HC didn't have any Tuscans in stock so I'll wait until they do before making the trip down there. I imagine when ready to buy I'd be looking to buy from them, given that every TVR owner I've met has sung their praises endlessly. Unless I skimped and bought private sale - there seems to be a notable gulf in price difference and more money in the war chest has got to be a wise move with a TVR.
As for coming on drives - count me in - I run an Edinburgh Sports Cars Club (on FB, under that name) and we aim for at least one a month, sometimes more like three. Completely mixed set of cars but always an enjoyable drive. We did Applecross last year and will be doing it again next year, probably over two days with some more looped in too. Maybe even up to the summer isles if we're feeling brave.

Absolute blinder of a day out!
I have summarised that, whilst it's a great car, I just can't follow up the Corvette with a Z4M. On the contrary... I so could have a TVR Tuscan. Wow. What a machine. Booked in for a test drive on Monday. How's that for keenness?
Vette isn't up for sale yet, though. I think I'll hold onto it through winter and register my interest in a Tuscan with people like Hexham Horseless Carriages, and perhaps let them do some digging for a great car. I'll need to look into valuations of the Corvette private sale vs. dealer trade in as well of course. Lots to do before I get my own.
Unless an Exige S2 can really tempt me away, I think it's very likely my next car is going to be a Tuscan.
A few cars are going for a run down to Moffat on Saturday 22nd Callum (including the Tuscan in your street), if you're interested pm me and I'll drop you an email with the details. It'll be a morning jaunt back for lunchtime.I have summarised that, whilst it's a great car, I just can't follow up the Corvette with a Z4M. On the contrary... I so could have a TVR Tuscan. Wow.

Very unfortunate timing. I'm away 21/22/23 to Kilchoan in the north west on a bit of a jaunt myself! That's a shame as it would've been an ideal opportunity.Gassing Station | Tuscan | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
