Perhaps the reason why it did not attract any bids was because it has had so many owners. It has had more than one owner per year. It makes you wonder why?
Is the seller a little prone to exaggeration? He quotes the price of the private registration E??TVR. The DVLA themselves are selling E13TVR to E19TVR all at £999.00 each. Rather less than the seller values his plate?

It is most likely the case that there just isnt a market for 2000 Tuscans at the moment. The few people are looking for one can pick and choose and have the option as getting a good deal from people who have to shift theirs quickly.
It took a good few weeks to sell my high spec 2000 on here, ebay and autotrader. Even then it did not get anywhere close to what I thought it would achieve. It must be a hell of a lot more difficult to sell an early Tuscan (especially on ebay with the limitations on getting a test drive/viewing etc).
Compared with other 2000 Tuscans the new owner may want to get the 18" spider alloys, with tyre these would be £1200, the car does not have air-con which is a requirement for many. This fitted is another £2000. When you factor into this that at 20,000 miles the clutch and shocks are almost near their common time to fail, there is another £2000 to spend soon. Ths is without the threat of a £5000 rebuild.
You could realistically have an upgrade and repairs bill of £10,000 in the first year, or even six months.
There are cars out there at the moment with all of the above already sorted at £20-22k. The reserve for this one is probably £17k or there abouts. I know which one I would go for...
I just think with the spec of the car and the fact that they would have to warrany it, not even a dealer would take the risk.
Sorry for the negative response, but I really do think it is a realistic one. It must also be said that if someone was to buy it they just might have a stress free time and love it. But, who wants to take the risk?
