I must have a cloaking device on my Tuscan.
I've driven 5 times to Germanyand twice to Spain and never get spotted.
(after getting back from Germany yesterday I've got a lot of Klingons to wash off today).

Ditto, had mine since October and driven it around London, up and down to Hampshire and Hereford and back last weekend. Still not been seen at all! It's fine though, as I didn't buy it to be seen in...just for the noise!

Hi NCE 61, is that me as in Tony ?
Came through Antwerp on Tuesday at about 6:00pm. Made all the noise possible which was a lot, what with the decatted and newly replaced Cans.
Someone keeps going past my house (South Cheshire) in a Tuscan with your colour. It looks fantastic.
Thinking it would be a good respray with my 2-tone gray interior.

Over the years I've had 4 TVRs and travelled over a quarter of a million miles in them. I've been spotted twice (that I've spotted anyway).
It just goes to show how rare and special our cars are. Where I live and on the journeys I make I can be certain that on any given day I'll see plenty of Porsches, a few Astons, a couple of Ferraris and probably a Lambo. I hardly ever see a TVR.

Never mind guys! It can be good to go unseen.

I've not been in the spotted section either but I was spotted by a traffic warden the other day. He must have been impressed because he even left me a note saying when he spotted me.

On a similar note I always try to wave / flash when I see another TVR but the last three I have seen have just ignored me. Could be that they just did not see me, but in the case of the red Chimaera I follwed for 2 miles this is unlikely.

I've always liked the fact that we wave / flash to each other and hope I have not missed any global memo that the prectice has stopped. I did feel rather stupid withh my arms in the air waving, with no response.

I think most TVR's have that cloaking device.

I have been spotted a couple of times, on my trip to Classic Le Mans last year I only got spotted filling up with fuel back in Blighty!!

Was nice to have some good comments about the car recently when I took it to Goodwood for Supercar Sunday.

Just keep driving the cars and enjoying them, being spotted is definately on a par with driving the car though smile

OP, you and me both sir. Bought the car in Oct `09 and used it all the time until May `10 - not spotted once. Been using the car a good bit lately since the new engine went in and still not spotted ! Where i live there are a good number of PH'ers about too.
