Hi All,

I'm very tempted by this (1000 miles on a rebuilt STR8 Six engine!).

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2001-TVR-TUSCAN-RED-ROSE-/25...

Only thing is, I was wondering why the pictures have the pistonhead signiture but its not here?

What do you guys reckon?

Thanks,

Brad.

Hi Brad

ebay link here

I think the car was listed in the PH classifieds a few months ago, which would explain the PH logo on the photos. I don't think the rebuild had been done at that stage.

No other details from me I'm afraid.

Thanks
Paul

Thanks Paul, strange, the guy said the rebuild was done 18 months ago?
Maybe I can give SR8 Six a call and see if they would mind commenting on the car.

It may well have been, always worth a quick check though.

Was looking at this myself the other day, if i had the money i would definately be checking it out. Looks very cheap, perhaps too cheap though so the light cat d thing would need to be investigated with answers.

I've had the car HPI'd and the current owner has had the car since it was crashed 6 years ago! Which is quite promising.

Hi Brad,

I am selling mine on Ebay at the moment the Reflex Purple one, the one you are refering to has been on and off there for around 8 months it was up for around £14k at one point so why the price drop?. So I would be wary if its been sat for 18 months or has done 1000 miles in that time it will be due for a running in service or a service so you would need to budget for that also. I am open to sensible offers on mine, and has just had a 12k service even if your not interested I am happy to offer any advise as is anyone on here in purchasing a Tuscan.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Ben
