Bargains I would say, X reg for sub 15 gorillas with warranty??? Wished they had told me when I bought mine. Is a Tuscan a classic as I like to think or not? We should be told! Answers on a postcard or here.

Just be thankful that at last some dealers are being realistic - too many are sitting with a showroom full of ridiculously priced TVR Speed Six stock.
Let's hope this trend catches on with private sellers and the other dealers. Even without the fragile engines issue most private sellers' cars are at least 25% overpriced IMO.

In answer to your question - the Tuscan is not a classic yet BUT it could be in another five to ten years.

No, I disagree with this. There are a handful of overpriced cars perhaps, but I think second hand prices now are an absolute bargain. For the £25-£30k mark there are plenty of recently built cars with low miles, I'm amazed how cheap they are at the moment.

Unfortunately there aren't potential customers out there who agree with you - supply and demand aren't in synch. In a free market ultimately buyers decide the level of prices and at present it's way too high.

There is also a lot of internet rumour surrounding Peninsula. It ranges from them ceasing to have the TVR Franchise to them no longer holding the Lotus one.

It could be a clear out sale.

I reckon its a clear out sale.The Nebula blue "S" has been down there for two years.Was over 40k to start with.Don't think I'd want it after standing around for two years.Popped in a couple of weeks ago and there is 5/6/7 TVRS at the back of the compound.Plenty of Lotus still down there and protons and general cars.

Ultimately TVR dealerships have to sell stock not act as a storage facility so prices must be attractive enough to shift stock within an acceptable time frame - a Tuscan sitting in a dealership for two years is just silly.

Ditto this - passed by last Sunday and seeing virtually any TVR was tough from the road - very different to 12 mths ago.

Seen the interior of that £15k Tusc though?!
Specced by someone with more money than taste imo.
