Anyone else read the article on their trip to Moscow (Scotland)?

V. positive considering the author admitted to not liking TVRs.



Loved this little side piece on Jack Galusha's first ever drive of a Tuscan, that's what TVR are all about.

Rushed out and bought it on the strength of your post.

Will read it later but it looks good.

Good article. Not much comment on the car's handling apart from a bumpy road not being the best place and them being worn out when they got to their destination.

Just hope enough journos complain about the dials for TVR to put the Tuscan Mk1 or Tamora/T350 instrument cluster in.

I agree with that, it's the only thing that puts me off getting one. Thinking about upgrading in 2 years, it's going to be either Tuscan S 2 or Sagaris, ain't made me mind up yet.
Another thing, I might be skint then.

Grouch.

Me too. I like the Tuscan 2. A lot. Except for the dash ...

I find the T350s dash really great to live with.

Read the article last night. Very positive.

Well done Autocar.

I actually like the new dash. Admittedly I've only driven 10 miles or so with it but my first reaction was positive. On my current Tuscan you can't see any of the digital readouts when the sun shines but this one seemed clear. Anyway, time will tell.

I would actually quite like to do the drive to Moscow proper, that would be pretty interesting. Even more snow.

Although I've never seen any fuel above 95 RON in Russia.

I had my Chim up in Scotland over Christmas and ended up doing 60 miles on snow on Christmas Eve. It was not fun.

If it makes any difference I like the new dash. It is actually the same digital as you find on the tamora/t350, which in honesty is all I look at. The dials in my tamora work fine but I just seem to look at the digital stuff. The tuscan 2 has a nice feature though that the whole screen goes red becoming a change up light. My tamora only has a little red light instead.
