What's owning a Tuscan like?

[e46m3c]

let me add. My milage would be very low. Probably 2k per year on weekend blasts. and 2k over 10 days in the summer in the alps.

Anyone taking a tuscan to sunday service?

Im like 600'th on the list of 200 so my chances are very low of getting in! But perhaps i can park nearby and walk in.

[e46m3c]

What milage are people getting out of rebuilt engines? Im in contact with a guy, lovely mk1 s, 4.0 tvr power rebuild in 06, now has 30k on engine.

Ticking time bomb? Im worried rebuilds in 06 were not as fine tuned as rebuilds today. i.e. all the weaknesses might not have been addressed.

minefield eh.

Anyone got tuscan and t350? There is a t350 in netherlands in budget. Worth the extra?

Im in two minds to just buy the lowest priced one i can find, and buget an engine rebuild. the 15k cat c in NL leaves me 10k to get it up to scratch with a fresh warrented engine?

[e46m3c]

can i summarise like this?

<2002 24k+ = will need an engine rebuild very soon
2002-2005 40k+ = will need an engine rebuild very soon
non TVR Rebuilt engine = Depends on the build but upt 100k miles before rebuild.

Thanks for the info.

I will arrange to test a few and see how i get on.

Company for the blue one never got back to me.

hoping to view this on the weekend. Looks spot on to me. Clearly an enthusiastic owner, had the power rebuild. Perfect colour combo.

Anyone know this car?

The one i liked has sold before i could secure.

Also my M3 is now for sale if anyone fancies a swap with cash your way. here are the details http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=147...

My preference is tuscan S in two tone. Must have engine rebuild. But open minded.

This is ideal. No mention of engine rebuild tho. Sent them a message. Wihout rebuild im thinking 20k tops.

Just doing some research on the 2004 engines but it sounds good.

Yeah happy to take for a spin. i think you will find it surprising even if your used to a tuscan!

[e46m3c]

Whens the next Bracknell meet?

[e46m3c]

my m3 has sold now. So who wants to sell me their mk1 tuscan s?

[e46m3c]

Let me give it a good detail on the weekend and ill get some pics up

Going for a full respray. I had my heart set on reflex purple until I heard the price!

Really looking forward to clearning this car up cosmetically, increase some volume/theatre and into the alps for 10 days in august. Probably a shakedown trackday and wales trip in there somewhere too.

If anyone wants to see my previous road trips let me know and ill post a couple of links.

Suggestions on colour anyone?
