Convertible Tuscan Vote

Love it!

I think it is a big improvement over the series 1 especially around the nose.

The proper roadster treatment cleans it up nicely...

...OMHO...

...as long as the drop-top is as good, if not better, at keeping out both the weather and unwanted visitors.

Not so sure about the tail lights or the spoiler in the 'S', but I will see the thing in the flesh the day after tomorrow, so I will reserve judgement until I see it in 3D.

Compare with the other new Brit cars

I saw that after I wrote the below, but decided to leave it until after Friday when I will see the all in the flesh.

Very interesting.

I dont think TVR should be restyling exisitng bodies. Its better when they come up with something completly different each time.

If I was in the market Id definitly be looking for a Marcos test drive. Looks so much better than Tuscan IMO.
Also would be after the Noble test drive if I was in the Typhon market.

I'd still keep the Griff though

agreed makes me worry about the "series 1" residuals..

still i think it looks great, and the old car looks great too

just give us a targa Tuscan with a v8 damn it!

[DustyC]

Or anything new with a V8!

I would be pretty depressed if I just bought a mark 1 variant! A completly new model name would perhaps have helped save the residuals!

Not had a chance to wade through the pages and pages of replies...yet.

Will the current Tuscan still be produced as I personally prefer the look
of the original lights and am not a fan of drop tops, so reserve judgement on the vote for now!

Just got back from the Motor Show and have to say the the new drop top Tuscan and the revamped lights and spoilers imho look great(including the S spoiler). The interior to looks good and functional although it does seem to have lost some of the 'specialness' of the original. But that huge radio pod which dominates the dash - it just looks plain silly. I trust they will see sense and redesign

[Nick P]

not sure about the new style of rear lights on the T2

[tony m]

just got back from the motor show,went with the intention of ordering the new tuscan,but was not impressed one bit, i told them as well they have ruined the car, so i have ordered the sagaris, looks the b*****ks

[racketman]

i'm also confused that the "s" seems to have covers over both lights while the "normal one?!" only has one.or am i seeing it wrong?

i love them but i think the grill was the only thing that needed changing on the tuscan front-end#

Just been to the Motorshow and the new revamped Tuscsan range is OK, the front end re-design is certainly an improvement but the convertible just doesn't seem to be as impressive as the Griff was at it's Motorshow debut, a little 'flowery' for my liking. A decent colour, decent wheels and the non 4x4 wheel arch gaps would help !!
The Sagaris on the other hand, is the ultimate in dogs bollox though, glad Tony m's bought one as it'll be the only chance I'll get to go in one !!
