Swear there was a well known 4.3 MK1 at £55K the other day eek

Or was that a dream....

Yep Tuscan's are going one way. Looking at whats been done and the condition its it is comparable to a new car and £40K seems reasonable.

That will be sold in no time, along with the £45k Cerbera Lightweight which was only advertised for 24 hours.

It does seem that really top condition cars are fetching good money which has to be good for those in the restoration business!

It must be a good one.

I know the new owner and he always has very, very nice cars.

So, The Price Must Be Right !

Str8Six are probably doing more than anyone at dragging prices north. Theirs are always immaculate examples but their pricing does have an effect lower down the food chain which is good for all current owners (if not aspirational acquirers). Other than production numbers, there's never been much logic to the premiums Mk2/3 & T350/Sagaris pull over a well fettled Mk 1. It was the one that introduced a real wow in bespoke bonkers styling (Cerbera interior aside).

I totally agree. I hope, now that the TVR marque might be getting taken seriously at last (thanks to folks like Str8Six) that buyers educate themselves in the relative merits and rarities of all models.

I agree. They prep cars like no one else and set the bar. This car looks absolutely perfect. If I was in the market for a Tuscan, this would be the one. A Beauty.

Ditto - I looked at 11 Tuscan's all over the country drove 4-5 separate ones. Looked at one from str8t six and purchased it without driving.
