With all the hype over the T350, Sagaris and Typhon I feel the poor little Tuscan isn't getting any attention.

It is the only model not to have any kind of facelift or modifications in it's lifetime (Not including the Tuscan S)

Maybe TVR can look to spruce it up a bit like aero mods (Rear diffuser etc..)?

I'm assuming it's because TVR have realised that there's nothing they can do to improve the looks of a Tuscan.. If it aint broke, for gods sake don't mess with it!

Totally agree. The Tuscan is a piece of art although there's a few people posting on "General Gassing" who seem to disagree........

I just think there are one or two areas it can be improved aerodynamically and aesthetically.

Although I plan to change my Tuscan S, probably for a Sagaris, as the deposit is down, I still think the Tuscan is a better looking car. I think the styling of the Tuscan makes it one of the greatest looking cars ever. It was a radical design by TVR and the best looking machine they have ever produced. Personally, I find all other TVR's prior to the Tuscan to be pretty boring to look at (no reference to engines or noise) and their designs dated quickly. The more recent models dont even merit being the Tuscans ugly sisters. The T350 is better than the Tuscan at handling, and at having working windows, but its boring. The Tamora is a bit too feminine looking to have the engine it has. I say long live the Tuscan, hopefully technology will keep improving this car along the lines of the Typhon , but not in the looks department. Its a design that will look amazing forever, a masterpiece.

Yes I agree the wheel nuts are awful. I've invested in a set of gorgeous stainless nuts to sort the problem

Now it's almost perfect

Leave it alone!

It looks great as it is. Even the boot spoiler on the S detracts IMHO.

If in doubt look at a S1 E-Type FHC and then look at a series 3. You can't improve upon perfection.
