Should I buy another Tuscan

[m3coupe]

I know this sounds obvious but hear me out and also I’m looking for advice.

So circa 17 years ago I bought a lovely Rolex blue Mk1 Tuscan. It was sold to someone in Holland a few years later and I hope it’s still going strong. Only reason I sold it was the usual story of wedding, house, kids etc.

I’m now getting to the position where another weekend car is on the cards and I want it to be something I will keep and make my own. Been running the mill on a few options, mainly a F type jag or a Porsche Cayman but the Tuscan itch is still there. Only thing is, I don’t like standard of any of the options and want to put my take on it. Doing a bit of research though, all the suppliers I used to know have disappeared. Found plenty of suspension components and power are about but can’t seem to find body parts such as S style rear boot spoilers, front typhon style grills or even just winglets/splitters.

Have they all dried up? Know I can “build” the jag or Porsche to my spec with a bit of aftermarket work but I have a feeling neither would be a keeper but a Tiv would.

So basically what I’m asking is, where are companies or suppliers that can give me options for parts?

Cheers in advance

It doesn’t have to be a MK1, there’s actually bits I prefer on the MK2, for example rear light setup but prefer the dash in the MK1, especially if it’s been modified by Dave the Trimmer.

As for a fixer upper, that’s what’s in my head as the idea of messing about with a properly sorted car doesn’t sit right.

So yeah, think of it as a MK1.5 😂😂

Guys, cheers for the posts and I may be wrong but I didn’t ask for folk to have a discussion/argument as to how many classifieds are currently on the site, or the different engines that can be put in as a replacement for a speed 6.

I think we can all agree that we know where to buy them, the actual amount for sale is neither here nor there.

The price is the big issue. Some people think their cars are worth a lot more than they are.

With the greatest of respect, not the issue that is being asked. If you want to discuss this point further, please feel free to do it away from this thread.

Anything is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it ... But if you’re sensible with a niche car you get an agreed writeoff valuation with your insurer.

Same with your good self

What exactly is your problem? Take your insane ramblings somewhere else.
