I've just put a deposit on a new Tuscan... went to test drive a Cerbera and T350 and ended up ordering a Tuscan!

I like both the above but when the wife saw the Tuscan up close she loved it and insisted I test drive that as well. Anyuway I came back with a grin from ear to ear .... more fun than the above and much more so thant the Porsche C4S I test drove last week!

Anyway just thought I'd share the good news (I'm soooo f...ing excited I can hardly think of any thing else).

Toke over a TVR-Centre build solt so it should be with me before August!

Later,

How many miles now? Still lapping up the attention it gets?...I do...childish I know, but I just can't help it. No point buying the car if you're a shrinking violet

Well Done Michael & Wife,
I was another one so fortunate, that when my wife saw the Tuscan in the flesh, she also forced me to buy it, the car is an absolute phenomenon. I took it up to the Back Home Meet for the Sunday drive, then had a further week touring GB, no matter where I went the reception was excellent, with all ages wanting to discuss the car with me, and also quite a few photographs taken with all sorts of people sitting in the beast.
Look after it and the pleasure is immense.

Best Wishes,
James & Marie.

What is it about the Tuscan looks over the Cerbera and Tamora/T350C that attracts the ladies - could it be that it's more phallic in it's appearance and details, etc? What do Tuscan owners think?

If we could analyse the Female mind/thoughts we will be on a winner, so keep the theories off the thread and we'll discuss it privately, however joking aside there is nothing else on the British roads,that looks better than the Tuscan, there's also nothing else on the British roads that sounds like the Griffith, which my good lady has pointed out to me often since the purchase.
She reckons that the Tuscan is like a modern day fighter, you don't hear it till it's past, the Griffith is like the Spitfire you hear it before you see it.

Another factor was that the folks at the TVR Centre (customers and staff) were totally into talking and enthussing about the cars unlike the folks at the Porsche dealers.... (explitive edjacitve deleted)

I now know I've made the right decission! Roll on August.

And finaly again any Tuscan owner near the Shoreditch area?

Thanx,
Michael

LB,

I'm up to 2,800 now and its sounding better and better as the miles increase. Yes still lapping up the attention...everywhere I go it just stops people in their tracks and its either a dropped jaw or 'wow'...as your drive past, incredible the attention these Tuscans bring with them.

Alan.

Michael,
No idea where Shoreditch is! Essex?, if you need a run out to discuss Tuscans, the Oak is in Pirbright, Surrey and I am always about at weekends.

I have heard reports that Lamonta on the seats isn't as hard wearing as leather so you might want to look at that. Also, if it's a Tuscan S ask the factory for the 400hp version or just to do what they do with the T350 and put up to 400hp! And get them to run it in on the dyno machine so you can spank it as soon as you get it delivered!

PS. Not sure what your preferences are but you might want to look at this one if you're going for Moonraker black -





Good luck!
