Tuscan advertised in the Autotrader near to Frodsham area.

Is it anyone's on here or does anyone know this car please?

Sounds worth a look but, before I make contact, I just wonder if the car's known on here......

Not much help but I spotted that one and had it been a different colour I would've been tempted to go for a closer look with it being so close by. That colour just doesn't seem to show off the awesome lines of the Tuscan for me.
Everyone's tastes are different so it may be worth a visit if you like the spec! smile

To be honest, I'm not very up on TVRs and wouldn't know if it was a good spec or not.

If I was to take it further, I think I'd get Christopher Neil to inspect it first.

Went to view the car today and it is stunning, although not possbly my ideal colour.

It's had the TVR upgrade and so looks quite promising.

Just one question, I know that they are a hoot to drive etc but can you just tootle around in them in traffic etc without problem?

There will be times when I ferry one of the kids about and just want to be sure that it can be quite docile when required too.

I use mine all year round and it's happy to sit poodling along in rush hour traffic in London, the light clutch and long travel accelerator pedal makes it a doddle. It only gets interesting when you push the loud pedal to the floor quickly.

Sounds promising then! thumbup
I'm sure others can give you some advice on this too, but for me having had 2 RV8's and a couple of Speed6 TVR's the S6's are much much easier to be stuck in traffic in.

The clutch on them is much lighter than the V8's that I had (which sometimes in traffic end up making your leg hurt!) and provided the fans are coming in correctly then there are no overheating issues.

To be honest they're so easy to drive/live with you'll end up going everywhere in it!
Even the boot's are huge so the shopping run is no issue either.

I have a Tuscan (Sp6) and a Chimaera (V8).
The Chim is decidedly better than the Tuscan in traffic, but i am spoilt. I'm sure i would "manage" with a Tuscan if it were the only car i had. Macey is the man to listen to though smile
