High mileage Tuscans?

Nice thread revival.
I would like to think that by now many speed 6’s have proved they can do a decent mileage.

Agreed. It would be interesting to get this thread updated by higher milers and see where we are:

113k now, I don’t use it nowhere near as much as I used to so it will only be going up by about 5k per year now

[so called]

I've just updated mine to 81k - 2006 Tuscan convertible with no rebuild.
Like others, I'm not using mine as much now at about 5k per year.
But she's had yearly trips to Spain and Germany.
One low-loader recovery to the UK in 2012 when the engine management computer died.

I wrote off my first Tuscan, a 2000 with 89k and two rebuilds (35k and 70k).

[Let off some steam Bennett]

Mines on 67k, rebuilt at powers on 35k

[Dickie Dastardly]

2003 MK1 S, 47k no rebuild.

[Aidan136]

2003 Tuscan 29,000miles No rebuild, uses no oil or water.

[magicTuscan]

2001 Tuscan 1 4.0 ltr
Rebuilt by power 2010 @ about 60k miles.
Currently at 115k miles with no rebuild.

Daily driver since 2010

[LoonyTunes]

51k rebuilt at 29k by Racing Green.

[eye121]

On 70K now and had rebuild by TrackvRoad at 48K. Few miles yearly now but uses no oil or coolant (crosses fingers and touches wood)

Here's a high miler does anyone know the car? https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

Doesn't seem like high mileage to me, especially with a Str8six rebuild 25k ago. No idea about torqueflight tvr but it seems they ought to know the car by now from the servicing so worth a call and see what other work has been done other than servicing.
Other than that it looks a very well presented car, although I can't work out what's going on with the 2 black Tuscans with different wheels? This could be the Retsina and heat but seems a strange way of presenting a car!
If all checks out it looks a good buy.

Its one car with the choice of wheels. I'm waiting for some pics of the chassis before flying out to view it looks very tidy from the pictures I've seen

Looks like a cracking buy at that price, one owner and rebuild. Dealer's got some very interesting other stuff too. There's me thinking I'd get £25k for mine on its original 2004 engine with 58k on it.

[s6boy]

I see the 3rd photo had the rear of the Tamora that they also have for sale and I thought it was some crazy photoshop
It does look good, hope the chassis checks out for you.

[Stu-nph26]

He's sent me a few pics, the chassis looks ok, not fantastic but pretty solid.

Looks decent enough to me and a fair price. Looks like better value than the 2002 MK3 Chimaera 450 I was looking at with 98k miles that the seller wanted £18.5k for private sale.

Is there any duties to pay or issues with buying a car from Ireland?

Northern Ireland is part of the UK......only issue is getting there

Ryanair flight out get the car checked over and 30 minutes to Belfast docks for shake down test on the Isle of Man

That's incredibly cheap. We Buy Any Car value my 2003 4.0l Tuscan with 50k on the clock at £27,000



Why wouldn't the owner pop over to the nearest branch and sell it to them?

[rockits]

Just been having a look at this 2002 Black Tuscan as mentioned above. Looks as though it has been knocking around for a couple of months since at least July. Always make you wonder a little bit. I know it is only 2 months but I am guessing a top example or cheap example would fly pretty quick?

Anyone seen, looked at it or have any info?
