The lighting on the nose in the first shot almost makes it look like carbon fibre...

It doesnt look like there is an analogue tacho/speedo. Personally I think this is a pity as you dont get the joy of watching the revs climb in the same as you do. I once drove my grandmothers Toyota Yaris and the LCD display on this is utter . This looks better but its still not the same as a good old fashioned analogue one...

editted to say:

Although the arse of the T2 is huge improvement I actually prefer the front of the old one, somepeople will call me fussy but hey, just my opinion.

It does look gorge! I hope that Leven will eventually make a set of alloy air vents, as they will compliment the interior perfectly (I also want them for my Tam!)

Stunning pics LB - as per usual.

They seem to have triggered that gland that instantly reorganizes life's priorities and makes it difficult to think about anything else but finding a way to get one, now.

I know you didn't mean any harm but look at what's happened to my kids university fund - instantly re-prioritized. Thankfully I'm going abroad tomorrow so I can't get down to Racing Green for while. Please don't post any more of these evil images

NS has a full carbon bodied Tuscan with all sorts of additional bodykit bits. It was at TVR Power about a week ago. Looks the bollox - I do have pics but not sure if I'm allowed to post them.

Stuff that! post em


This car looks great in black, it hides the black rims on the headlights and the tail lights blend in to be almost invisible, can you get smoked rear lenses?

Im not sure about it, i prefer the old one... Perhaps it will grow on me. Do you think that once we see more of these 'around' that it will make the old one look dated?

Thanks for the snaps

That Tuscan 2 looks different from the motorshow one - both pairs of headlights appear to be faired in now

So why's it got one red light and one white light on the rear left and right? Any ideas?

Okay, I wondered if it was a boat (or an amphibious vehicle).

Looks like a Tuscan sat on a Wiessmann Roadster to me. Not sure I like it but I can see what they're trying to - blending modern cues (Tuscan) with traditional curvy bits (arches in this case).

I'll stick with my T350 too.

Not sure about the spoiler - these things only have effect over 80-100mph don't they?

That would be green on the right and red on the left.
