Think I know the one you mean - if so, I've seen it in Huddersfield once. I stopped the driver & asked him if he was on PH, etc. He just looked down his nose & said he "wasn't into that kind of stuff" whilst winding his window up. Oh well!

I live in Littleborough and have seen a blue Cerb travelling over Blacksone Edge Road quite a few times. Was it a blue one you saw?

If you buy one I'd love to have a nosey around it.
Although I don't own a TVR at the moment, I'm sure I will agian; and It might just be a Cerby

Would anybody care to hazard a gues as to why Tuscan prices seem to be falling faster than Cerberas at the moment?

As always, it's supply/demand. Firstly, there are a lot of Tuscans out there, meaning a "bad one" will lose value much quicker than if it was the "only one". The other main thing is the perceived reliability of the S6 engine, though (still a supply/demand thing)... Just take a look at used S6 Cerbera prices - they're thousands below AJP V8 engined ones. I was looking on Autotrader the other day and saw that Tuscan's are starting to drop below £20k!

T350's are going for £32K and you can get a Tamora for £25K so it looks like ALL S6 engined cars are dopping in value very quickly.

There's a chance that's mine... I quite often do evening/weekend drives up through Outlane, Ripponden, and over that way. Not sure I go up there often enough to continually be spotted, though.

You're welcome to have a nosey around mine (once I check to see how many stonechips Burriana500 put on the front of it wheelspinning away through the gravel this afternoon! )

I would say I've seen you continually. In fact the last time was when I still had my Blue 400SE - don't know if you saw me though.

As for having a proper look at one? I'd love to! Just say when.

I changed from TVR to Jag for practicalities sake (well practicality is a relative term after all) and still hold by my desicion.
But boy do I still miss TVR ownership!
I know absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that, I still hanker after one and it's not ever summer.
I guess I must be addicted.

I know tuscan prices are up and down but the ones under 20k are insurance listed damaged. for a y reg car with resonable miles ,good colour and well looked after privately there is none under £25, there are a couple up for sale but no air con. Dealers are still selling y reg cars for over 30k and thats out of season(winter) I think tuscans have held up well. If the inital issues were sorted followers, cam probs' etc then they usually are hassle free (except for bits and bobs here and there) Although on the scale of things the cerbs seem to hold up better. I am very suprised to see the depreciation of 350's as they are such a well put together machine. I believe that the TVR population should not sell out to easily and should ensure that the get top dollar for what should be. I think that many people buy tvrs on a whim and sell in a panic. If we could only encourage each other to give more value to our cars. In the end its better for all envolved in the joy that is being part of the tvr legacy.

I don't suppose it looked anything like this one? This is the only Cerb I've seen in the Greater Manchester area within the past year!


Edited to make sense, and yes I do stalk TVRs with my camera

????? It's 13cm bigger than a Frod Focus. Hardly large. It's just the low profile that makes it appear bigger.
