Smirnoff Tuscan S advert

[GJL]

Tuscany's topic on how many Tuscans and what colours etc got me thinking. Does anyone know the origin of the red Tuscan S used in the Christmas cracker ad from a 3 or 4 years ago. I have recently bought a Red S identical to the one in the ad, also having watched the P/H classifieds and marketplace in sprint and generally looking out for Tuscans it does seem that red ones are quite scarce. I am referring to the non metallic reds, such as Formula red, not the Nightfire ones.

Don't know the origin, but still have the picture:-



There were quiet a few comments about it at the time!

The owner was a PH'er, think his name was Smirnoff!

Including the inevitable....

"...they would contain cheap, plastic things that break easily."

Smirnoff Tuscan was borrowed new off the TVR Centres showroom floor for the photoshoot then sold to a private buyer. Smirnoff on here from memory, although he sold it on.

When I was after a Tuscan earlier this year, TVR Centre showed me this one as it might be coming up for sale soon. I didn't really like the bright red non-metallic colour at the time, though I've since seen one amongst 'normal' cars, and it looked the business!

Hi,it was indeed my car that was used in the ad,Mark at barnet told me when i purchased it.There was also a non S that was used in earlier ads,but that one was written off.I have been desperate to find some decent pictures of the advert.
