Well, saw it on e-bay, bought it, still offshore don't get home for another month, my mate's looking after it (promises he'll behave), never had a TVR before so thought I start with a Tuscan S finished in black.
Any advice, hints or tips welcome, oh yeah I'll be exporting it to France.

I bought mine off Ebay and it's been absolutely fabulous. Everything about the car has been 100% genuine and I saved a load of money as well.

I really hope you enjoy the Tuscan as much as I have.
Good Luck and please post some pics, as soon as you can.

Excellent stuff, looks like it's great condition. thumbup

My tips would be:

1) Use it as often as possible
2) Don't scrimp on the servicing / maintenance
3) That pedal on right goes a long way, and things will be happening very quickly before even get close to the end......be careful!! When Tuscan's bite, they can bite hard!!

Other than that, enjoy every second....not that you'll have a hard job doing so! biggrin

I was interested in this one too...but the seller didn't know much about the car.

I asked him if the engine had been serviced and/or rebuilt recently and he assumed it had been, but wasn't sure - I took that as a no.

It looks incredible though - I love the colour combination!

He's just had a new clutch and cylinders done, there's lots of bills with it. He owned a Cerbra before so I can only take it that it's been looked after. As for the rebuild, I'll find out when I get it. Hopefully get a few miles out of it before needs one, or it might go on for ever. That's the sort of car your buying I suppose.
Pleased with the colour combo though. Just need to get home and play with it now, only four more weeks to go, I've never known time go so slow

It looks incredible...I love the red and black leather interior.

I really want a black Tuscan myself and am hoping to find one with red/black leather, but they are quite rare.

The good think about the interior of the tuscan is that it is so special, that it can look great in any colour. I like the tan leather as well - but I really want a black car. Think it looks best IMO.

Looks great Deep Down, congrats!
Keep it on UK plates; importing it into France is a nightmare (and probably impossible).
