My red rose tuscan mk1 smokes a tad on first start up or when it has been left a while also it also uses a bit of oil. Its due a service next month (last serviced at 19 thousand miles at June of last year, now done 21k.

Do i just service it and hope for the best? All this talk of rebuilds is just playing on my mind. When will i know when the cars ready to croak? Do they just die?

Sorry for all the questions... yes it is my first tvr!

Get a view on it from your indie, if its one you trust I'm sure they could advice you accordingly.
