Tuscan IIs arrive at Glenvarigill - pix

[williamball]

Was up at Glenvarigill (TVR dealer in Scotland, for you folks South of the Border ) when their 2 Tuscan IIs arrived. IMHO they look better in the flesh than the 'original' Tuscans - I perfer the new spoiler, the faired in lights and the 'gap' in the bonnet. Still not sure about the console in the inside though - although in fairness I never liked the 'radio in a wrap' sitting on the shelf of the old cars either, so no worse....but not too much better. Still don't think the standard of the Cerbera dashboard has been bettered though.

Anyway, some pix, (and I made them small) ...

Better, but the large bulge under the steering column is still there, and it clouts your kneecaps every time you try to get in or out.

Very nice.

I seem to remember the rear spoiler looking different on the first production model, which I saw having a tracker fitted at dream machines a few weeks back, or maybe I remembered things very differently looks fantastic though!

Any more pictures of the swordfish spec car? I'm not sure it works too well in a light colour.

- Great for knee gripping around corners though!

- Does that say "Tuscan" on the gas pedal?

- Cool rear spoiler, not too big/not to nothing. Big Phil..!

Be thankful that the pedal wasn't big enough for "Orgasmic Living"

I think the rear lights spoil the design of the rear end. The up-pointing detail of the lights seems to make the intersection of the various lines of the boot lid and spoiler look way too clumsy.

You're not riding a motorbike, though.

In the third pic the car seems to have a lot of postive rear camber. Take it that will settle out?

Small Question - Do they work?!

[CiderwithCerbie]

Hi LA - My Opinion same as most - Yum Outside, not so sure inside. Agree with whoever said the steering column does knees in - my first tactile experience in my old Tuscan MkI - Ouch!
Can't beat my Cerbera's dash, just getting all the lovely Leven Aluminium fitted too

Can't beat my Cerbera's dash, just getting all the lovely Leven Aluminium fitted too The original dash is still a great piece of automotive art. The new looks like amateur night at art school. I expect your dash will look terrific in its Leven livery. Is it almost complete? I have to say that together with the Griffith, the Cerbera marks a design high for TVR.

Should be brushed up soon, then it's the RR engine sort out, Nitrons and bigger brakes alround and then....pant, pant...Should be ready sometime 2006.
Seriously, The cosmetics will be sorted next month and I'll post some pics when I've figured out how to do it!
