Title says it all really. Does anyone know of one?

If not could one of you clever chaps do a photoshop version?

Thanks

Yes, I remember one being for sale a year or so ago, albeit very cheap, probably because of the colour!

Yes, there's one in our club - Kent and SE London. NCS might be able to point you in the right direction.

I saw a photo of one in Sprint a while back. Mentioned it to my dealer who said he would not allow any customer of his to buy one in white. I think he's dead right!

If you own a white one I'm sure you love it and all but I bet you take a hit when you try to sell it.

My Tuscan is Lotus New Aluminium (silver basically) but when I watched it being driven out of the showroom under bright lighting it looked almost white and it did look pretty good.

Not sure a white one would look so good i) when not in pristine showroom condition and ii) on a cold overcast day.

Yep - thats Steves but I dont think he posts on here. Its a pearl white colour - I think it was a one off made to the original owners spec.

Looks lovely

I own the pearl white Tuscan in the pictures but due to pearl white not photographing well and it being a cold salty winters day the images have not done the car justice. I would like to know the name of the dealer who WOULD NOT ALLOW a customer to order white just so that I, and everybody I know in the industry can congratulate him on his lack of customer care. Customer comes first, customers never wrong etc,etc. I thought that part of TVR ownership was the attraction of being different and personalised. Anyway enough bitching. I do own this car, it was a one off colour and it does get an awful lot of attention everywhere that it goes. As far as resale is concerned, who knows, I`ve had red, I`ve had silver and all dealers will knock you for any excuse not just colour, I know, I am one. I must say that this is the best TVR I have owned to date.

Well I thought white would like nice on a Tuscan (as it does on a Cerbera) and how right I was.

Screw the dealer who said that. Nice looking car!

I think that tuscan may have been owned by the same chap who had mine before me.
As for white not being all that?.... madness.
