Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who advised on the post `buying a Tuscan without a rebuild`. Finally found one having looked at 6 from Kent to West Midlands and collected it last night (pics to follow soon) 2000 Mk1 full TVR Power rebuild, 30k miles and in lovely condition, always garaged and only 2 prior owners.
No doubt I`ll be seeking advice from the experts again soon!

Congrats! First piece of advice, get the steering spaces installed. The mk1s tend to be a bit twitchy on the steering.

Ok thanks for that, I`m going to get a front splitter fitted too, but I think I`ve got a very well set up car, it feels so planted and stable at speed, totally unlike all the ones I test drove.

If it drives how you like it, first chance you get, check the Geo, ride height, damper setting, tyre pressure's,as much info as you can get,cuz if you every need to get back to it, and you don't know what it all was, it can take a long time

Good advice there. I had a Cerbera once before and that was eventually set up so well you could drive even down bumpy country roads at silly speed and literally take hands off the steering. This Tuscan feels almost the same and has really surprised me. I will still respect the power and its ability to bite though! Think I`ve found my dream car! Even SWMBO has said that its her favourite!
