TVR Tuscan S 4.0 - Top Gear Speed Camera Car!

Yes, it does drive as well as it looks. It is as fast as it looked on the telly and it does make that glorious sound too! This famous machine has only had 3 owners since the factory used it as the press car to show the world that TVR weren't messing around. In the current owners' hands, it has been brought up to the standard it deserves and with the money being spent in the right places, it really drives and handles just as you'd always hoped it would. Having had the engine rebuilt in 2022 by Powers Performance, that was one big tick off the list, but the engine overpowered the car, so HPC Classics set about making it drive right, the following work has been carried out in the past year, so you know that the car you're getting isn't all show and no go: -Differential rebuilt & polybushed -Drive shafts rebuilt -Hand brake cables -Steering rack gaiters -All suspension bushes, washers and bolts -New wheel bearings -Front drag arms -Ball joints -Rear anti roll bar drop links -Powder coated wishbones -Geometry set up -Discs and pads all round -Callipers refurbished -Wheels refurbished -New Michelin PS5 tyres With more aesthetic items taken care of too, like the boot alignment, gas struts, carpet, heat shields, washer jet, clutch stop and a titanium gear knob to finish things off. Now's the time to get in and appreciate what the motoring press experienced 24 years ago, in the words of Stephen Sutcliffe in Autocar about the 996 GT2 & Tuscan S (this exact car) ''Had there been enough runway, the Porsche would no doubt have beaten the TVR on top speed too. But it wouldn't have mattered. Even if the GT2 had done 250mph at Bruntingthorpe it wouldn't have delivered sufficient thrills elsewhere to beat a car as blinding as the Tuscan S. Because what TVR understood better than Porsche on this occasion is that performance isn't the only thing that makes a sports car great.''
