Had it fitted by Trimar (TVR Centre) in Barnet. Both the key ignition and start button can be used! You can't however switch the car off from the start button..

How much did that cost you in total?

So you have to have the key turned before you can use the button to start?

And no 'stop' button?

I don't see the point of that. There's no reason why the key fob couldn't enable the ignition and the button then start and subsequently stop the engine. Similar to the Cerbera, although the Cerb has separate buttons.

When I do mine, that's what it'll do. Assuming I can get a nice button like that one!

Andy..you just turn the key to the ignition point and press the start button. I had the start button fitted for more cosmetic reasons, rather than practical. I can't remember but there was a reason why the button couldn't switch off the engine, may have been more hassle to fix this way and for safety issues?

I had a start button, from a Cerbera I think, fitted to my Tuscan Convertible by HHC.

Thanks,

Can seem to find a suitable button that matches the mark 1 interior lights. Does any one know any other sites?

A Google search for 'car start button kit' might help.

Yes. If you were sitting in drivers seat they are bottom right of 'baboons bottom' pod. There is no key barrel what so ever. Everything done from the start/stop button.

Does'nt look like any dealers have the Tuscan 2 Button. May need to see if theres any scrapped Tuscan two's floating around. They are very hard to get. May have to just get the ones from CBS or Deemon Tweeks.
