I wonder how many tuscan owners are thinking of selling/changing cars but are holding off for whatever reason. I was thinking about trying a cerbera 4.5 for a change (i'll never go back to subaru/bmw/porsche) nothing drastic just a change. I wonder .....

Not me! When I bought mine I intended to keep it for 2 years. I’ve had it a year now and I like it so much I think I’m going to keep it longer. I can’t think of anything else I’d want without paying double the price.

Well I don't have mine anymore but if I was to think about getting another TVR then I reckon a Tamora or T350 would be next although I would think very hard about getting another Tuscan.

For who could not feel overwhelming empathy with Sir Tom over this sentiment?

Have you seen the Tuscata on this man's profile?

The automotive equivalent of Cameron Diaz's entree in the flick, 'The Mask.'

Stirrings not felt since one's first pubescent inkling...

Sublime!

Nope - I'm sticking with mine for a good while longer as well, and wouldn't dream of changing it at the moment. Even when I bought the car I didn't consider anything else (well - thoughts of a mean, Cerbera 4.5 LW in black did cross my mind for a nano-second, but it just had to be a convertible!).

As Sinead O'Connor sings - "Nothing compares 2 U!"

I have been thinking about changing the Tuscan for a Tuscan S. I think I need the extra power

You can never have too much power.

I'm going to keep mine and spend some of the money it would cost to swap on sorting the car completely. I've got the Nitrons already, but need to get it fully set up. Will then have some bits of trim redone and speak to Joospeed about the engine options next year when I get back to the UK.

The only cars that would tempt me away involve a lottery win.

As some of you may know I lost my Tuscan S quite recently. I am looking forward to seeing what the Sagaris looks like. I assume road versions will be available.

Nebula Black - black seats red harness+ carpets and heavily tinted windows.. should look like the bat mobile!

Certainly not me, thought about a Cerb as 2 were available over here, prior to the Tuscan appearing on the showroom floor, soooooo soooooo glad I chose the Tusc as in my opinion TVR's have got to be open tops. When I change it will be an upgrade to an S unless there is something even more special around then. I like the T models from the front and along the side views but the rear turns me off "bet my missus never thought I could say that", nothing on todays market comes anywhere close.

Three years of ownership, sticking with my Tuscan unless the over fifties SAGAris has anything special to offer. 51 on Monday and F-----g loving TVR ownership, I piss myself laughing when I see the amount of Porkers about, so bloody boring and I live in Guildford more Porkers then anywhere else in the country apparently!, which is not far from Woking where you have more Ferrari owners than anywhere in the country!! Bring em on!!. Looking forward to visiting home(Huddersfield) in the new year and taking on the Mondeos!!!!

You really like a challenge, don't you pubman? Once you've dispatched Mondeo Man you could move on to the blue-rinse brigade in their Micras!

We hope loads are thinking of selling as Mr Big recons he is only 12 months away from owing a Tuscan without selling the Griff. If lots come onto the market it could be down to 10 months

Would only change the Tuscan for a T440R, but then maybe not as the roof does not come off and also would have to wait 2 years + for one, so it's possibly a 400BHP upgrade & aeropack for the Tuscan

I'm always thinking about changing my cars. Isn't that why everyone else gasses here and reads car magazines ? The worth of the current vehicle is how long I keep it. At the moment the only car that might tempt me away from a Tuscan is a Sagariris axe thing. But I haven't even seen it yet so who knows. I have no regrets chosing a Tuscan over a Cerbera or Tamora. Big boot and the roof comes off. When it comes down to it it's a too practical day to day car to get rid of.

Cheers,

Andy.
