New(ish) owner and thumbs up for Matt at Sebring
Discussion
Hello all,
Been lurking for a while, so thought I'd say hi
I'm a proud owner of a 2002 Tuscan S in Titanium Silver following a short defection to sample one of Inglostadt's better offerings and it feels great to be back I'm not new to TVR, my dad used to own a V8S and now has a '98 Griff 500 in imperial blue. I used to own a '96 Griff 500 before the Audi and loved it to bits.
I bought the Tuscan back in December and have been making a few little tweaks here and there getting it how I want. It already came with a TVR Power rebuild, Nitrons, alloy rad and one or two other bits, so a pretty good start! However, it was the first Tuscan I went to look at and the first and only one I have ever driven. It was due a 12k service and so I prepared myself for the worst.
Picked it up from Matt at Sebring after he gave it a thorough once over and I'm happy to report all is well Nothing more serious than some slight oil weepage. He did a fantastic job of reattaching the front splitter after I managed to shear three bolts a few weeks ago (now all stainless steel bolts).
The engine is now so smooth. Before the service I was suffering a slight hesitation with light throttle application and thought it might be the throttle spindles, but it appears it just needed a good setup! Handling, gearchange and general feel of the car is so much better!
My dad and I have always taken our TVRs to Matt and I can't recommend him enough, superb service and sensible on the cost front.

Nick,
I did have a nose around the yellow Tuscan. It looked very tidy, i.e. front end free from chips, no noticeable scratches and the leather looked good too. I didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb, but I liked what I saw. Colour looked v good in the flesh
The blue cerbie they have in stock was beautiful and couldn't resist a sit in the driver's seat. It was a 50/50 whether I bought a Tuscan S vs Cerbie 4.5...

cheers

Have to agree with the OP, Matt is the only person I let work on my TVR. The only downside is I end up yapping for ages when I go over to see him cheers

I know he lurks on here so Hi Matt 
I'll be calling soon in order to sort those Nitrons out!He doesn't have anything to do with sales and is extremely open and honest so give him a call and ask him about the car. I've not seen a bad car there on sale yet and they're very picky about those they do sell.
