that is enough funds for a reasonable tusc, try to find one with a 2004+ rebuild if you can, for peace of mind and a huge saving in the slush fund. if older than this then you run the risk of needing rebuild/oilway mods ect ect, not trying to put off at all, i would sell my mother before my tvr, just the way they get you, (its a lurv ting) biggrin

Looks like you just missed out on mine, sold on here just a few days ago to the first person to come and view, I had to tell two people that it was no longer available, who were just about to drive down to see it. I am pleased though that its gone to a fellow long term TVR Club Member. I'll let him post first to let you know who it is.

Now the search for the Sagaris can begin.......

You definately have plenty of money there to buy a decent Tuscan.

I paid 16K for mine a year past January but have spent 3.5k in that time. Nothing too major, new clutch 3 months ago used the majority of that and also had 2 services as well plus some dash repairs. Oh and new tyres and 1 wheel due to a idiot a fortnight ago.

In these financial times, reckon you'd probably get a very well sorted Tuscan, maybe not as good as Jim's though, lol.

Thanks for your info much appreciated. Is the best model the speed 6 400bhp? If so is it a heavy drinker (like myself)

I believe the 4.0 is the best one, purely because you have a little more torque, but other than that ... either one is great.

I have the 4.0 litre but it's not an S so only around 360bhp. Have never been in a S or a RR so can't comment on the difference between them.

All i know is my one has plenty of power to do me.
