tuscan s

[Andy_350z]

do all the tuscan s's have power steering? are all the s's the same and is air con an optional extra?

All Tuscans have PAS

I doubt any 2 TVRs were ever the same.......

'S' spec engine, larger bore exhaust, bigger front brakes, aircon, HID main beams, front splitter & rear spoiler, DAB radio was the standard MK1 S fit. Can't remember if Hydratrac diff was standard or an option. No idea about MK2s

I think Hydratrac diff. was standard as well.
Engine is idem to Red Rose, but was given some extra bhp post 2003 (mapping?)

The later MK2/MK3/Convertable had an optional sports pack (i.e. making them S's) consisting of:

Air Conditioning
18” Wheels
Gas Discharge Head Lamps
Close Ratio Gear Box
Up-Rated 4.0 Engine 380 BHP v's 365 BHP
Up-Rated Suspension
Larger Brakes Front & Rear
Large Bore Exhaust
Front Splitters

The rear spoiler was standard and could be specified as large or small.

Hi NCE, when you say later, do you know from what point on? And does later apply to all 3 models you mention, or only to the MK2 targas (in which cas your list would apply to the LATER MK2 targas + ALL the MK3's + ALL the convertibles)?

Hope you understand the question. I'm asking because I've bought a Sept 2005 Convertible, which was said to be delivered standard with 380 BHP (so fitting your description), but I don't have the front splitters, and I've now planned to pay myself a set.

If you have any official document, would you please PM me? Fetching the beast on Monday...

I love yours. It's beautiful. Were your profile pics made with 1 Mile on the clock?

As far as I know the sports pack applied to all the Convertables and Targas ordered after October 2005, the MK3 Targa was an un-offical name for the last ones with the Convertable dash which came out about January 2006.

Thanks for the complement on the car, profile pics are a mixture of one day and one year plus old, although it is possibly cleaner now then when it left the factory

Not al S's have a CR box; it seems there was a lower cost version of the S without a CR box.

[Noisy]

I think the CR boxes were out of stock so some cars that had been all ready been ordered were offered to the buyers with a discount, so not really marketed as a lower cost option. My S didn't have the CR box but when the gearbox blew up I fitted the correct CR box in it's place.
