March edition is at WH Smiths at London Bridge Station. Nothing TVR in it.

I take it all back, another £15K car feature in March. And now we know how you knew about it so far ahead of time, it was your car! ;-)

Just been to my local shop and it is not in there, looking forward to reading the review, there was one problem I only picked the car up and drove it down a motorway and thought it was a bit stiff, then on the twisty bits on the roads in wales where the test drive was done I noticed it was really hard and thought either the shocks was shot or if it had adjustable shocks on they was set very hard anyway told Jethro the test driver, when I got back to Kent got it up on a lift and it has nitrons on and they might need a refresh which and will probarbly get done as they was set right at the top and not all the settings are there when you turn the adjusters, got nitrons on my cerb, no wonder it was a hard ride

Yes I took a look at that car before I bought mine, the then owner said it was on Nitrons and they were set to their hardest. Way too hard for me it must be said.

I thought they were a bit unfair on it to be honest. Especially in a £15K coupé test, as far as I remember you'd have got a decent chunk of change out of £15K!

Just looked at the write up and agree to some extent what they say , you do need to be a driver to be able to handle a TVR as its easy to drive the other cars as they have gadgets to help you, plus it is and early Tuscan so a bit unfair as it was up against cars 7 years plus newer, but he is right I,am a TVR diehard nut, I still would not buy any of the other cars as they look and sound boring to me but thats my opinion, I really like the Tuscan more than I tought I would so it is not going anywhere unless I fall on hard times and it would be a hard choice if I had to rid of one of my TVR,s as they are all very different, the Tuscan has had the engine rebuilt by TVR power and the gearbox so should be a good for in excess of 150,000 miles, plus it has Nitrons which I get refreshed what more could I ask for a boring car or something with stunning looks and a bit of soul

Even though they didnt seem to rate it as highly as the others in the test, its only the Tuscan that im looking at in the classifieds!

Its deffo the one with the most pull out of the 4. So what if its not the quickest point to point.

Str8Six have a couple of nice examples at £20k to £23k.

If only I had a garage (and a house sorted for that matter).

Only Tuscan your looking at in the classifieds ? its not for sale

if you read it the test driver does say he might not be man enough to drive it, i had no problem keeping up with the Porsche, they loved the look of the car and he "fell for the engine" and pedals was perfect and in a straight he loved it and 4 out of 5 stars as far as I,am concerned is good enough for me

Its only Tuscan's (in general) that I'm looking at in the classifieds. As opposed to Z4M's, 370Z's and Cayman's.

Yep I love all the above, they'll have better build quality, but they won't be the same as owning a Tuscan!
