Hi,
Having owed my Lotus Esprit S4s for 4 years I'm getting the itch to replace it & the TVR Tuscan is on my list. The question is what are the prices of Tuscans doing ? Are they still going down, bottomed out or on the way up ? I know it shouldn't be a major factor in buying a car but this for me would be a sunny weekend car so it's easier to justify having £20k + tied up if I'm not going to loose a fortune in depreciation like a more modern car.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Cheers.

I would be surpised it the prices come down now , i reckon you could get a nice well sorted mk 1 tuscan for 18 - 20k. Mine has risen in value in the 3 years i have owned it, but i did buy when they seemed to be far cheaperHaving owed my Lotus Esprit S4s for 4 years I'm getting the itch to replace it & the TVR Tuscan is on my list.

I agree, I think something can be had under £20k right now, but not for long I wouldn't say.
I think TVR coming back will help values as the spare parts scene seems re-invorgated and the new models if they are as good as I hope with GMD and Cosworth on board will pull values of the Wheeler Era cars up.

I bought a mk1 about 18 months ago. I'd been considering one for a couple of years before that and wish I'd taken the plunge earlier, prices went up a few k in the time I spent thinking about buying one - depreciation is definitely not an issue.
That said, I probably saved an equivalent amount in running costs over the intervening time...
Overall A+++ WOULD BUY AGAIN
