Just browsing the classifieds as you do and surprised at the prices especially for the time of year.

There are just 25 Tuscans for sale and just 2 at 15k the rest are 20k plus.

I suppose there's not many now and they are popular. Wondering what a recently resprayed, retrimmed power rebuilt almost fully refurbed one is worth now hehe

Glad I didn't sell a few months back, I usually buy at the top and sell at the bottom biglaugh

I noticed that too which I was happy to see, but they need to sell at those prices to be worth them I guess!

Is the Halcyon Midas Tuscan 'S' at Racing Green really worth 28k ?

Ooo, liking that colour too! Will be interesting to see if that sells easily as I'm up to similar figures in terms of money spent!

Is a sagaris worth 60k though. As always they are worth what someone will pay, if the dealers are pushing prices up it suggests to me people may be paying it. Either that or none are selling and increased prices are to reflect lack of sales.

Not a big surprise to see value of Tuscans on the rise.
Unbelievable that it needs so long for Britain to appreciate their own greats.
It will have its place in car history as one of the prettiest and most breathtaking cars ever built.
Also supplied with homegrown and now sorted engines.
It also marks the proud peak of TVR.

Some people are spending a lot more money on an ugly painting.
I would prefer the Tuscan even if I would have to hang it on the wall.

Also a lot of cars have gone to Germany and netherlands, some have gone for scrap
and if you have a good one, well sorted as mine for example, so why should you sell when you have space and
a bit money.It takes time to find a enthusiasts for TVRs, but when cars are in their hands they will keep them.

Lets wait and see, the good old TVR times will never come back (To buy a new one).

The good thing about owning a good TVR at the moment is that they are generally not depreciating to the extent of other marques. I sold my 2001 Tuscan in 2007 for £19K and they are not far of that price now, for good ones.

Was advised by TVR specialist the other day that my Tuscan should be insured for around the £21/22k mark. It is absolutely immaculate and very low miles, but even so, that's 4k more than what I bought it for 5 years ago. I don't care really, because I'm never selling it. What is there to replace it, for the same road presence and driving experience? Nothing.

As others have said, the Tuscan is a British great, becoming more and more appreciated. There will probably never be another time, regulations and circumstances which enable another 'Tuscan' to be made in quantity. Hence the value trend.
