Upgrade from Tuscan to what???
Discussion
I've been thinking about upgrading from my lovely Tuscan to something else for a while now but have come to a dead end each time!
I do around 7K a year, have no kids, need a car with bootspace for snowboards and luggage etc (which all fit perfectly in the Tusc), love the look, feel and sound of TVRs and that's about it. Tried a Sag which was great but no space for a board, thought about an M3 for a nanosecond, thought about Porsches but don't really want one if I'm honest...
Considered getting a second practical car for general stuff but I don't have kids and to be honest, if I'm going shopping and there's a choice of a Tuscan or a Golf on the drive I know which one I'm taking.
Any ideas from anyone???

Tuscan or Cerbera -> Fezza 355!!!
I personally wouldn't call that an upgrade. Have you ever been in a 355? I was most disappointed......
I know it would not be as quick as my Tuscan & the interior is pants but I still think the 355 is the best looking Ferrari ever made & ever since I first saw one I have wanted one. (I would probably get bored of it quickly but at least I will have fulfilled a long time ambition to own one)

I upgraded from a 2001 Tuscan 4.0 to a 2005 Tamora Red Rose. As beautiful as the Tuscan was driving it was terrifying (the most skitish and unpredictable car I've ever owned, but it looked the business!) The Tamora has more classic styling cues and is by far the most forgiving and driveable of all the TVRs (I've yet to drive a Sagaris....)
There's plenty of choice out there in TVR land so have fun shopping!

The supercharged Tuscan sounds ideal for you. Does it not?
Options for upgrade then include:
A faster Tuscan (by various means)
Cerbera
Sagaris
350
Tamora
355 / 360
M5
To be honest I don't need more power - whatever is coming out of the lump at the moment is more than enough and since I don't track it I rarely use it all anyway. The upgrade would be more for the sheer driving pleasure: For me the Tusc in terms of driving experience, road presence and that wow factor is up there with almost any car. The couple of times I've been next to a 360 at some lights everyone has been looking at the Tusc, and when we both gunned it off the lights (thankfully in the dry) there was nothing in it.
I'd love to get the new Gallardo Spyder but obviously too expensive. Reckon I might have to stick with the Tuscan until I can!

Theo - at the risk of death, what about the new Marcos, shortly to be available. Awesome in the flesh and supposedly on the road with tonnes of character. BossCerbera is testing one currently I think so would be a good person to speak to.
Not much to match a Tuscan - but this has to be one of the few and price wise, is perhaps a real option.
