TUS 373 had gone
Discussion
There is now an empty space in the garage where the Tuscan once stood. Waved goodbye to her on Friday night after a fantastic 4 year relationship. Very much like saying goodbye to a relative before they emigrate to Australia!
However, really pleased to have found a very worthy successor to cherish her, and by the sounds of it is already enjoying the Tuscan experience. There really isn't another model like the Tuscan. So, I hope that Alex will introduce himself here on the boards, please make him welcome chaps.
Feeling a little morose as have now not been a TVR owner for 2 days - after 8 years! I am sure the impending arrival of Junior TUS 373 (allegedly a boy) will soon take my mind off that issue and be keeping me very busy. I promise to raise him as a car enthusiast too (as if he will get a choice living in this household!).
Will be keeping the reg mark, so I will still be TUS 373 on here.

Hi there James,
You would be most welcome to drop by when en route. Quite a long journey from your part of the world up to Durham. I think you are suggesting that the Tuscan is a less expensive hobby than kids. I have a strong suspiscion that you are absolutley correct on that score. If the little blighter gets too much for us, there is always Ebay and medical experiments!
All the best,
Bryan

Also, to answer Nicks question, I removed the Sagaris cans before selling the car on 14 years ago. The original carbon cans were a better fit and did not stick out as much. The originals sounded better.
Spot the high level brake light conversion. Its unique and quite a few people wanted pictures to see how it was done.
That 18000 mile service was, I think, when I took it to the factory. It left driving like new but I was £1,000 lighter.

Hi Andy,
Sorry to hear it was in a bit of a state. It won the Back Home concours many years ago. Might have been 2003 or 2004, not sure. Looking at the reg, it was traded in by the person I sold it to. Strange that there was no history since 18,000 miles. Chap who bought it was a car dealer and I know he took it to an Indy somewhere in Cheshire and had the suspension 'set up not that it needed it. Also strange that it has been stored 8 years.
When I sold it, for about £18.5k (!) I handed over every single receipt. I contacted the first owner who traded it in for a Maserati. Think it came from Mole Valley and he got charged another for its early servicing.
They do sound agricultural so would not be overly concerned with that. Never had a rebuild before or during my tenure. Looking at MOT history online it got used alot soon after I sold it, but had two SORN periods.
PMd you last night so happy to have a chat if you give me a call and can tell you more.
Best regards
Bryan
