Looking for a Tuscan

[dodgepot]

Hi guys

being a Griff owner I don't think I've posted in this forum before. Trying to talk the missus into letting me buy a Tuscan to keep the Griff company and have been looking around and reading up.

Ideally I would like an S but reckon they may be out of budget having seen the recent one at JAmes Agger and the currrent one on private sale at £30k.

Saw this one at Offord and wondered if anyone knew the car or had any comments re the car or dealer http://www.offordmotorco.co.uk/used-cars/tvr-tusca...

Depending on the car/seller I would probably commission an independent report, but living in the frozen north I'm trying to avoid doing a million miles viewing if I can get a heads up on one

cheers

Looks nice but those cans and that steering wheel need to be binned ASAP.
Never heard of the company before but that's not to say it's rubbish. An inspection is recommended though.

A lot of people have the momo trek wheel....

Good luck with the search. My advice is just look at lots. Owning a tvr already will help as you know the sort of thing to look for.

Good luck!

100% bin the cans but ... love those steering wheels

Fantastic looking car Mark. Don't worry about the exhausts, if you don't like them there are plenty of us with some original ones stored in the back of our garages.

It's a nice spec and is very low mileage having covered only 2,000 miles per year. No mention of any engine rebuild being done which is a negative against it. It may be fine but it's still an early Speed6 so cover your bases with either an extended warranty or get TVR Power to give it a once-over and put one of their warrantys on it.

It would compliment the Griffith nicely

Looks a very nice car, though the cans are horrid.
Offord are/used to be a TVR specialist Indie but lost their way a few years ago and gained a very bad rep. My understanding is they've been trying hard to rebuild this but are struggling a bit to shake off the old reputation. Bear in mind I live 10 minutes from Offord yet choose to do a 3 hour round trip to get my car serviced instead.
That said, it by no means indicates that this car is in any way a bad one and in fact really does look a nice one from the pics. I'm not about tomorrow else I'd happily drive over and take a look for you - if you have had no luck by next Saturday I can do so if you like?

As far as I can remember its sale or return and someone on here has been to see it. I can't for the life of me remember who but I did speak to them over the phone about a car I had seen and they mentioned this car. I'll have a think and try and remember the user ID

Thanks for the comments Guys

Zippee - that would be great, I'll pm you if I haven't got anything sorted by next weekend

Milky400 - try and get those memory cells working - would be great to talk to the owner or anyone with direct experience of the car

[Daggsy]

I think the exhaust cans are just perfect !
Then again I suppose I would. Good luck Mark. A Griff and Tuscan, perfect TVR combo especially in RED.

I think it's a whole lot of money for a 2002 car

[Milky400]

I'm checking previous posts. I'll echo Zippee and happy to have a look for you if he can't make it.

OP, I've sent you a PM. I'm toying with selling my Tuscan 2, or possibly my MK1 S.

[Milky400]

PM sent

Dodgepot, PM sent. Happy to give you my thoughts on that one, I viewed it in the summer.

Cheers

Thanks again for the comments and PMs guys

Decided not take the Offord car any further, but still looking out.

May come back to you for info on other possibilities
