Hello.. been three long years and early days (just in case the wife reads this) but might be coming back !!!

Thinking its going to be a Tuscan Mk1

Previously had a Tamora and Sagaris

Looking at PH Classified, TVRCC and Autotrader.. any other suggestions?

Never driven a MK1 Tuscan but assume it will be closer to the Tamora... anyone driven all three?

You guys grin ear-to-ear every morning you get in them... I was doing that on the M4 this morning just thinking about the remote possibility of owning a S6 TVR again... biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Welcome mate.

I reckon id have a bigger grin if i had a sagaris, but the mk1 tuscan turns heads like no other TVR, IMO of course.

i think the Tuscan looks the most mental of the bunch.

mk1's can be had for £12k now it seems! Theres a lovely blakc one at James auger in leicestershire, thats the one id have bought if i hadnt got hold of my reflex purple.

From what I have read, I would think that the MK1 Tuscan feels more brutal than both the Tam and Saggy. I think this is mainly due to the poor standard suspension set up on the MK1's, making them more of a handfull when making progress.

I have never driven either a Tam or Sag so have no personal experiance otherwise.

This one looks really good. It has 30,000 miles and an engine rebuild at 25,000.

Always loved the look of the MK1.. more so than the Sagaris. Unfortunately the James Agger car has been sold.... going to try and not buy the first one I see.. which will be a real challenge for me biggrin
