TVR Price Rises

Extra £2K for convertible Tuscans

---

TVR confirmed to us this morning that as from Monday the price of Tuscan 2 Convertibles will be £41,850 with the hard-tops remaining at £39,850. The Tuscan S Convertible will retail at £51,995 and the normal Tuscan S remains at £49,995.

Consideration is being given to limiting the top speed of the Convertible Tuscan S.

"Consideration is being given to limiting the top speed of the Convertible Tuscan S."

Why? They don't with any other model?

They're concerned about the aerodynamics at high speed because they're not tested the convertible at a simulated 180+mph.

The current S doesn't go much over 180 anyway!

After a lengthy conversation with Jeremy from TMS, the reason for limiting the convertable is because the boot is much larger so the new whale fin spoiler will look silly on it and there could be stability problems over 180. I was very close to getting the cheque book out. I want one!!!


PS isn't Peter Wheeler tall in the flesh!!
