Picked it up today 2001 car, pictures to follow. Private purchase but picked it up from Sussex TVR after a service and engine inspection. After 2 years of a Chimaera 4.0, the Tuscan is very different. Feels more modern and after 50 miles of gentle driving, I did put my foot down chickened out at first shift light and looked at my son (16 knows everything, but did look surprised!) and holy fish it shifts doesn’t it.

Safely tucked up in garage now, fiddling will begin this weekend looking at the weather. Feels great to have a new toy.

Congrats. Just in time for the summer.
Try a bit of rear screen out, roof on driving.
Suprisingly good different dimension than roof down.
Have fun.

Still miss my Chim but hopefully be re-united after the Tuscan sells. TBH I prefer the way the Chim drives but a Tuscan is just brutal. 8 years of Tuscan ownership and its time for a change.

Welcome to mad world of Tuscan ownership, don't do what I did while staitionary in a tunnel thought I would let it rip put it into first foot flat down and wow the back end snaking all over the place narrowly missing the tunnel wall while I was trying to get the thing into second so I had a bit more control it sounded so good but I won't be doing it again so scary !!!! Have fun !
