Why, would you have bought one
Ah, it's the man with the tupperware turd and the crumpleframe, who trolls anyone who dares to draw attention to the shortcomings of his penis extensions.I did actually test drive one, as it happens. Much, better than the Grimaera to drive, but the styling was a bit too 'Halfords bodykit' for me, and I didn't fancy paying for an engine rebuild every third oilchange.
I preferred the styling of the Tuscan S, but same problem with chocolate engines, of course.

The reason the vents were filled was mainly due to water egress.

Stick to advising people on dog houses. Leave the driving to grown ups eh

As the owner of a 2006 Tuscan 2S I do sometimes contemplate “upgrading” but I think I’d miss the ability to go topless. Engines, once properly rebuilt, are tough as old boots - just warm them up properly. There’s nothing like a sorted TVR, especially if you can drive.
Exactly. I’d love a speed 6 in something, perfect road engine configuration for me really. As you said, all the issues once sorted leave a solid lump, but it’s always the same people, who never buy one, or have the ability to drive anyway, who throw the negativity around. Nobody seems to mind two generations of Caysters s

Always loved these and I would if I could (even though I've vowed to never buy a black car again..
TVR subject aside, black IMHO is the very worst colour for a car, probably excepting a car that's covered, garaged and never sees a wet road. An absolute nightmare for showing every little mark and swirl.. A1VDY said:

Having had five TVRs including a Sagaris it still remains one of the biggest disappointments. It never inspired me to just drive it, take the long way home or wring it’s neck through the twisties.
Don’t get me wrong it looked mental but for me it never delivered.
The Griffith. Had three. Beautiful, nice noise and the last one was a V8 Developments one that had most of the foibles ironed out. Don’t get me wrong it looked mental but for me it never delivered.

Mine was a 430, BRG with Biscuit hide.
The Sagaris was Reflex Charcoal with a mixed “carbon weave” black and cream leather interior. Black carpeting, cream piping. “Roll bar” in cream leather and black stitching.
Other than the Tamora, which I never quite got on with, the range would, indeed, probably still feel fresh today.
My all time favourite colour was reflex green, absolutely stunning on a Sagaris. Choice of either Sagaris,Tuscan or T350 as my daily smoker for quite a while and whilst The Sag is phenomenal, Tuscan came close to being a pretty much perfect ‘everyday car’. I kid you not! Picture is black but that’s my daily Tuscan to the right. For perspective, the X5 mk 1 , looks old.

The plan was to have them open, but they discovered that it's a good way of pebble dashing your paintwork and windscreen. Being TVR, they patched the mould 'shut' rather than make a new mould. Not cheap minded at all, right?
Missing the point somewhat, what’s next, no parking sensors?Fabulous cars.
