Nope just a white stud ...
I still think the car looks better than the 430 ... is that wrong

I'm liking these indicators,,
Far better than the dull finish on the one's supplied with the Tusc/Cerb.
Care to tell us where there from?

PS cracking car. I've seen it a few times over the years always looks top notch.

The front ? yes not to bad to do and makes the front look fresh . The led's on front lip are running lights .. i like some don't .






Not a fan of the MK2 front end and MK1 always looked meaner

Not original owner but I've had my July '00 car since early 2003.

Is it my eye sight, or are you running a lot of negative camber on the front?

[NCE 61]

I have had two Tuscan, both from new, a September 2000 MK1 and now a July 2006 Tuscan S Targa (MK3), with just a 4 month gap in between breaking one and getting the other.

[mcspreader]

I have not quite had it from new. I bought it 2 yr old with 1800 miles and have thrashed it ever since. First registered Apr 2000. Recently spent long time at Dulfords being prepared for another decade. Never blown up. Still on original engine. Its having a pre-emptive rebuild. Big oil pump, lots of tweeks but sticking with standard power. Looking forward to getting back from Richard in the next few weeks. I expect it will need running in again.
Pootle pootle pootle GRAAAARGHWGHAAAGH!

Love your back end! (oooh errr) Where did you get the rear splitters and cover in the centre of the exhausts?

You post has made me realise I have seen your car at KH right back to a TVR tracknight in 2001, I had my Griff 500 back then.

I have been through a few different cars since then.......but now on a Mk1 Tuscan, loving it but cant imagine still having it in 2019.

How many miles have you done with it?

[YAHOO]

Wow 2001 thats a while . The car has only done 20k although 10k is probably on Track and the rest is done in the UK and Round Europe
I still think it's one of my favorite cars of all time .. even more so than the 430 ..

I just make them looks great , the center diffuser makes the car very stable at high speed and has been on the car since 2002 ..
I think i have changed nearly every thing on the car now .. from diff engine gerabox pumps alternator throttle bodies and interior bits not cos the broke but just to make super reliable and different
