Hi guys,

As promised, I have posted some (er..many) pics of my Tuscan S in build at the Factory. Lisa gave me the tour today and was quite surprised to see it at the end of the line....being tuned for its first run today!

It has caused quite a stir at the factory due to its specification. The colour is Cascade Copper, the interior is all black...with subtle burnt orange stitching and burnt orange piping on carpets.

The factory have changed all the interior brass fittings to aluminium (including the speedo) which looks great..the idea that the black interior shows off the aluminium and contrasts with the black wheels.

As I left the factory, it went past me for its first run...was I jealous!! Anyway gets delivered to Castle TVR next week in time for the 01/03. Castle will be fitting sport exhausts and colour coding the front diffuser.

Will post more pics when its delivered...or until you are all bored with them

Personnel preference Gemini I guess...

For me its either eye catching on the exterior or interior but not both. I wanted a 'mean' looking effect which the guys at the factory and Castle think we have created...

Tks 21TVR,

Yes I am a TVRCC member of the Mid-Essex meet. Previously had a yellow Chim which got into the Sprint mag when I represented TVR at Rockingham last year taking the Indi car drivers around.

Would be 'cool' to see this on the front page of Spint in the future (praise indeed)...therefore I will to do the obligatory tree shot...as have no mountains in Essex as a backdrop

Alan.

Dai Capp - no more 'Tracey' on the window screen!! I thought they were going to put his full name 'Paul Tracey'...was I embarrassed..especially on an Essex boys car! It was a great day at Rockingham though!

Chaos - the speakers are a special order 'installed by the factory though' and look cool. It was Castle TVR's suggestion. The standard ones are installed just behind the seats...each side.

Nick - Sure am! Castle have the carbon can exhaust on one of their Tuscan S (well I think its the same exhaust)...sounds like a GT car....its the dogs b's!! The aluminium fittings, rather than brass, are something Ian at Castle has requested recently. The factory use Ian at Castle to design the interior for their factory show cars each year...so I guess he has some influence, also one of Castle's salesman is the factory race driver! I asked the guys at the factory if they might consider doing as an option for all orders and they basically said that it depends how many requests they get...
