Wow - after what seemed like ages waiting, but was in fact only about 7 weeks from the day I placed my order, I collected my Tuscan S from Castle.
What can I say - it sounds fantastic, looks fantastic, and is an amazing car in every respect!
A friend of my mum who I took out for a spin summed it up really when he turned round to me and said "this is the sexiest car I've ever seen - you are a very lucky man"
Initial thoughts on it compared to my '99 Griffith 500 are that it feels so much more planted to the road - less roll in the corners, and much less squat/diving under power and braking. It feels much more chuckable, and seems to stick to the road like shit to a blanket.
It also feels more solidly built, and you don't seem to get the same crashing noises when you drive over bad road surfaces.
It also feels very light - the merest touch of the throttle will send you into warp factor 9, and the steering, gear change, hand brake and clutch all feel fantastic - none of this hauling on the handbrake with all your strength just to engage it!
Noise wise, it sounds brilliant too - I still miss the deep burble of the Griffith, but the Tuscan just sounds evil, and the exhaust note tells you to go faster and faster!
All I can say is what a car! I am indeed a lucky man!

scottb said: Well done Ed - love the colour scheme - man after my own taste - are you heading to Le Mans - we have a convoy with 2 black Tuscans and a black T350 (not to mention a cerbie+ Fez 360 & yellow Tuscan)- but an all black TVR photo shot may be in order ;-)
I am indeed - part of the reason I got the car when I did was because I couldn't bear the thought of going to Le Mans to support TVR's first visit there for 30 years in my Dad's diesel Freelander!
I'm heading down on Thursday morning, and back on Monday.
All black photo shoot sounds good!
