I don't understand. Why is it that a Mk1 Tuscan in great condition is worth £25k to £30kish but a car thats 3 to 5 years younger can ask £50k.
Surely the vast majority of these cars are really loved vehicles and over the last 20 years any faults or manufacturing issues that a Mk1 might have had have been well and truly sorted and both cars are likely to be equally reliable by now. Personally I prefer the design of the Mk1 front end but must confess the back end of the later models is an improvement apart from the larger spoilers which appear to collect water when stood in the rain. Will we at some point see the price gap narrow? Perhaps when the Mk1 reaches 25year and becomes available to the Americans!!!

It seems that my original post has created a lot of debate but it appears that those who have commented generally prefer the Mk1.
I wonder when some one will be brave enough to ask £45k for a good one!!!
I do like the comments about originality will eventually be the winner. I have kept mine as original as possible and kept the orange indicator lenses even under pressure to change the ‘because it’s an upgrade everyone does’.
Glad I’m not ‘everyone’
