Picked up the Tuscan at lunchtime today and spent all afternoon blatting around the Surrey/Hampshire countryside. What an awesome car! The Chimaera was great but the Tuscan is something else. Everyone just stops in their tracks and gawps at it. Unbelieveable! Saw numerous Tivs out - Chimaera's, Griffs, a Tamora and a Tuscan. What about the weather eh?! Summer is here!! Roll on tomorrow!! :

BTW BIG thanks to Andrew G for selling me the car and taking the time to explain everything about it. Looking forward to seeing the pictures!

Congrats stubbini,

Picked up my Tusc on the 1st March after having a Chim and agree with you the reaction between the 2 cars on the road is something else. The Chim always got noticed (hey its a TVR) but not like the Tusc. I've had people waving, shouting, taking pics while driving, stopping on the road to look at me...usually at junctions & roundabouts which is a pain sometimes.

Wouldn't change it

Alan.

Edited to say...if u look at page 33 of this months (April's) Sprint under the Mid-Essex meet article...thats my car in the bottom left of the page

Stubbini congrats on the new car got mine 31 months ago and it's still the best TVR I have ever had.The S3 and Chimaera were great cars, but as Alan says nothing draws a crowd like a Tuscan and nothing this side of 100K goes like it.

I had arranged to meet the (then) owner of it at VW after seeing a thread saying he was going and selling his Tuscan. It was pretty much a done deal as soon as I clapped eyes on it!

Cheers for all the well wishes BTW. Maybe see you round Beds or a PH meet sometime. I go up to Bedford quite a lot still as my parents still live there and a few mates as well.

Just spotted your Tuscan in Sprint, Alan. Unreal! No wonder you're getting a bit of attention! Are you going on SR4?
