Visited a dealer earlier this week. He had just had some cars delivered which, apparently, are the first to go through the new QA procedures. Also it appears that for the moment they are only making T350s and Tamoras.

Strange I could have sworn I read on a PH thread today that someone was expecting delivery of a Tuscan 2 in a few weeks?

A number above zero but less than infinity?

Are they selling the jigs and body moulds then like TVR did before?

I was told today that my new Tuscan S could be ready in two weeks. It has definately gone through the paint shop.

Some how they'd even get it outside that range!

Seems they are manufacturing in batches of one model at a time. They did a T350 and a Tamora batch which they delivered and are in the showrooms. Just now a Tuscan 2 batch is running down the line with a Sagaris batch to follow. That's it, just 4 models till each gets to 500 and has a facelift.

I'd imagine they're still working hard at firming up the saggy-arse. No point taking piccies of it before it's sorted surely, otherwise you're just at the same point as 12 months ago, just with a different interim.
