Hi again,

Well I've taken a deposit on my Lotus Esprit ( I'm going to miss her ! ) but now in the market for a Tuscan or possibly a 350T although I'd prefer a targa & they're a bit out of my price range ( £ 22k ish )
I've been reading the buying guides etc so next I need to go & see a few.
If anyone is thinking of selling theirs or knows of a good one for sale, please let me know.

Cheers, Phil.

Cheers,
I may be going to look at an 04 Tuscan, I don't believe it's had an engine work, is this less likely to have the common issues with it being a later car ?

Cheers for the info, excuse my ignorance but where is the half time bearing ? If the engine has had a top end rebuild would this normally be replaced ?

Hi, just an update really. I've now driven a couple of Tuscans & decided they are maybe not the car for me. They look gorgeous but suspect it maybe the digital dash, no offense to you Tuscan owners but I think I prefer the old fashioned analogue dials.
I then went to test drive a Cerbera speed 6 & think maybe these suit me better. Loved the interior & having thought about it I've probably taken the roof panel off my Esprit maybe 3 or 4 times in the 4 years I owned her & when I did my Wife usually moaned it was too cold or her hair was getting tangled ( I know some would say get rid of the Wife ! )
So with that in mind I've put a deposit on the Cerbera, going to see her again on Sunday for another inspection & drive but if all goes I'm going to take the plunge.
I'd like to thank you for all your advice, mush appreciated.
Phil.
