Can someone near Glasgow lend me a Tuscan for a wedding?
Discussion
Hello, all, this is an appeal from a keen TVR fan to try and see if some kind PHer could lend me their TVR (preferably a Tuscan) for my Brothers wedding this Sunday 8th July. To explain the scenario, I was almost certain to borrow a Tuscan from TVR Ecosse in Dundee, however, a prospective buyer came along and bought the car at the last minute! 
My brother and my parents are being chauffeured to the wedding venue in a Rolls Royce Phantom, but my wife and I are following them. The idea was for us to make added visual and audible appeal (as you do in a Tuscan of course) but as that has fallen through I suddenly thought of this brainwave to ask the lovely folks on this forum, I understand this is a bit of a longshot due to the short notice and the fact its over the forum but its worth a shot, TVR is worth it!
To provide details, I would require the car this Sunday 8th July from about 11am on Sunday til 10pm roughly. We would be driving from my family home in Pollokshields, Glasgow to McDonald Crutherland House Hotel in East Kilbride (about 8 miles each way). As I say, the use of the car is purely for the wow factor that it has. I would then drop it off (or you could pick it up) from my house in Pollokshields again in the evening. I have already contacted Privelige Insurance who I am with, who were willing to Comprehensivly insure me on a Tuscan for 2 nights for a meagre £33, so using the car for only 11 hours would be even cheaper indeed and not a problem for me. I am 27 years old, a Doctor in the NHS, and I have 8 years protected NCB, which is why the insurance quote is so cheap I guess.
As I say, I know this is a long shot, but for the impact the Tuscan has on everyone its definitely worth it! Please contact me if you would be interested to generously offer the use of your car for the day. My mobile is 07912042434.
Thanks for your consideration!

Seriously? You expect someone to hand over their car keys to a total stranger (with 15 posts in nearly 10 years) and just walk away? You've not even offered any recompense.

.....plus, Sunday will be pi££ing with rain. Apart from the fact that many TVR owners do not like their prized possessions going out in the rain, unless you can demonstrate that you have driven high performance RWD drive cars without electronics, in the rain, anyone would be crazy to let you near their car.
Am a scottish Tuscan owner and as above to be honest, you have to remember that these are TVRs not Ford Focus's and all us owners are VERY particular about how they are driven. You will note that the hire on a Tuscan is very expensive, theres a reason for it. I have done wedddings for friends in mine before but i always drive, noone gets to play with my baby! Haha. You could try phoning JK and asking for a shot of his enzo? Joking aside, i hope your day goes well

he lives in the oxfordshire borders.not that close to Glasgow.
Imi - I think you stand no chance. That £33 ins cover must be a mistake. Can you insure a car you dont own? The owner could add you to their insurance but often the policy providers want people with at least a year of high performance car ownership.
Find a cerbera owner - your wife in the back and you in the front - passenger ride TO the wedding.
