New Purchase, 2S in Copper Cascade

[robsco]

Just when I thought I was happy with two TVRs, one AJP, one Speed Six.

I innocently log on to the PH Classifieds and find this. I call Bespoke, and within 72 hours the deposit is paid. I have always, always wanted a Tuscan 2S and here she is.

What a beauty, it’ll be great to get your feedback on the cars performance etc.
Awesome.

F'kin lovely . I so nearly called about this car.

I saw that one at Bespoke last Saturday, made an enquiry as thought I might get it and then saw it was sold.

Oh well.

Have fun with it!

We'll have to meet up and start a Cascade Copper club

I have 2 cars that colour now - the Sag and the Macros Mantis.

Any photos of the Mantis Alex? Always loved them!

Nice new toy! Stunning colour!

Looks like it is sitting quite high in those pics?

[robsco]

Cheers Jhonno! Those are archive photos, it is sat a little lower now. It's also sitting on anthracite wheels currently, with the option of changing back to silver. I haven't decided on what to do on that front yet.

Still needs some work as not fully up to my spec yet, but useable and really nice to drive.

Love the wheels, similar to RL7s. Interesting to see the handbrake is inboard of the gear lever too. I had a run out in a friend's father's Atlantis Halcyon one a while back and loved it. It was much softer set up than I'd imagined, more of a cruiser than a TVR.

They are much easier & nicer to drive, but not as "preppy".

So, I'm going to supercharge the engine. That'll give it more... umpt.

Congratulations Rob and that is absolutely stunning!

I love that colour big time, and I recall I chap I knew from the south Yorkshire TVR club who had a Tuscan in that colour.

Enjoy it.

Stunning colour. I am having my Tuscan 2S reprayed from blue to Samoa Orange ( Seat colour ) which is not that disimilar.
