Managed to buy this reg direct from DVLA.



Before you say it, the slogan is chav, but if the cap fits..... It does need to come with a ‘code brown’ warning tho. Took it to the shops in the damp yesterday - Tail happy is an understatement - I’m not doing that again.

I need to stop driving it like I do the McLaren. The Mac has a lot of gizmos keeping it straight at highly illegal speeds. The Tuscan relies on driver self-preservation. It really is sledge hammer versus scalpel - analogue versus digital. I’m going to end up in a ditch if I don’t dial it back.

Hospital is not the place to be right now and pain hurts.
Hope that helps. rofl
Glad your enjoying the car.
You will enjoy it a lot more once the weather warms up a bit like the tyres.
A Tvr will make you pay if your not careful as they are so light and over powered from the rear in slick conditions which means the pendulum goes from forward momentum to swapping ends in the blink of an eye unless you are used to reacting very fast and keep that forward momentum by coming off and on throttle like a tap dancer biggrin
Enjoy thumbup

Great number plate! From the photo the plate does not look legal for road use though, no manufacturer or BS details?

The image above was a mock-up, below is the actual plates which arrived yesterday. Both have BS and manufacturing details.

Saw your post on the scc page on Facebook. You bought Nigels old one?
You'll soon get used to the tvr, just a different way of driving.
I did many a road trip in my chimaera and t350 with supercars, often in torrential rain with no issues. Just teaches you to alter your driving to a more smoother style smile

Enjoy it! What mac do you have? One of those is on my next toy list in a year or so.

Hi Mate, yep it’s Nigel’s old car.

I started to drive it like the 720S, but soon realised that my ass was heading for the bushes if I didn’t dial it back. TBH, it’s more fun than the Mac and if I had to choose between one of them, the Mac would be gone - it may be that I’m still in the honeymoon period and could change my view, but to get the same level of excitement/fun from the Mac, you are in serious go-to-jail territory.

I have also just purchased a TVR plate directly from the DVLA... a 55 plate. I do not own the car yet, but I feel I am now committed to MK3 (so called) purchase!

And the rule is a plate can't be newer than 1st registered date not manufactured date
