Hi,
A brief response to hopefully get you started. I'll let the RR owners give you more details....
1. The Red Rose pack was an optional "sports pack" which included a stiffer suspension, 18 inch alloys and racing brakes.
2. The things pointing out the back window are the indicators (and a central brake light on more recent Tuscans). They are pods containing loads of LED's.
Hope that this helps.
Cheers
Tim

Nope, the radio cant change position. The stereo position in my view is not very well planned. It points slightly up so that when you have the roof off during the day you cannot see the radio display. Also, it is just a bit too far away to be able to push the controls without leaning forward.
I guess that the stereo had to be positioned like that in order to fit it underneath the metal strip that runs along the back of the shelf.

The RR Has an 380/390 BPH (depends where you read the figures) are the stated figures, Uprated suspension and better brakes. They also have/should have 18" wheels.
The RR was then styled differently (spoiler / front splitter) bit more work on the suspension and called the Tuscan S. Think that about it?!

From an interest in gyros
See the following amazing website and take the link to Tuscan www.cobb.com/gyro/index.html I still can't work out why the 2-wheeled car doesn't fall over when the gyro runs down!

Luca Brazzi seems to have the definitive collection of TVR pics - both of his own and others' Tuscans www.sleepy-fish.com.
One of them has a pic of the two indicator pods www.sleepy-fish.com/images/MyTuscan/DSCN1545.JPG
I often spend a few minutes during teleconferences flicking through Luca's Tuscan collection - when I'm not drooling over the dealers' virtual showrooms.

Watched a few of the vids and they are very nice.
Just interested to know if the gold tuscan in the tusacan section was a concept as it differs from the pictures of others.
I think its one of the motor show launch models....then a few tweaks were made before starting to build the customer versions. I might be talking complete nonsense though.

Hydratrak is basically a different 'back-end', which does something clever with the power distribution as you lay down the power coming out of a bend.
Oh, and the first reply received with info about what a Red Rose version Tuscan is was almost correct, but original RR cars made 2000-01 also have a different crank (stronger according to factory at the time) and different injectors to provide (handle ?) the extra 35 BHP over the standard 4 litre versions. A good early RR will be only 5 BHP less than a new Tuscan 'S', and doesn't have that ugly rear spoiler. I kind of like the quirky indicators up high too.
