Well after looking at a few cars and talking to Dom at TVR Power lots, not to mention lots of phone calls to my mate who has a Tuscan, I have taken the plunge!!!! Picking her up on Saturday, so this week is going to be a long wait!!! Shes a 2000 Tuscan 4.0, just had full engine rebuild at TVR Power, had recent clutch, gearbox and nitrons and has 26k miles. Has a full service history and all receipts etc from new. Cant wait!!! Now I need to save up for some CCC's and get the wheels sprayed in smoked chrome!!!

here she is www.pistonheads.com/sales/86479.htm

welcome to the club, very nice car.

get it decatted, and keep the cats for MOT time, they tend to decintegrate otherwise.

i'd keep the wheels silver tho.

Nice! Personally I would not change the wheels! Take it easy on the loud pedal in this weather and I agree re de-catting it!

Very nice car Mike, welcome to the club!!

If you don't go down the de-cat route just yet, definitely recommend some CCC's - just fitted some to mine and they are superb!

Welcome to the world of the slightly mad! thumbup

Very good choice on colour Mikey boy! That's the same interior and body colour as mine! I think we'll be confusing people on the way down to Le Mans next year!

I agree with keeping the wheels silver though - looks better on a darker car, although personal preference and all that!

Looking forward to a blast soon fella!

I know mate I love the colour of yours, they both have the same merits, ie new engines and both have massive service history. Hope that you sell yours soon(or not as from the sounds of it you want to keep it!!!) as it is a really good example, see you on a tunnel run soon!
