To look at it?
To show it off?
To clean it?
As an investment ( hopefully)?
But mostly to enjoy what it was built for. To be driven!
I refuse to apologise for the obvious statement but I have just enjoyed, neh, loved a 52 mile round trip to and from work across Exmoor today and it was nothing short of brilliant.
Take it out and lift your spirits!

To drive it while my Cerbera was in bits, then Sold it on for someone else to enjoy smile

They are rather good fun, I am missing a drive in a TVR now, the weather has been so poor for weeks and mine is off the road still, roll on a good summer!

I set out to get a Cerbera but returned home in a Tuscan as it was the nicest of 7 cars I viewed that weekend and I only really went to see it as it was close to where I was viewing a Cerbera.
I bought it because I loved the look of it, it was a hot day and I liked the idea of the roof and rear window could be removed and the styling is superb. It was the dearest of all the cars I looked at but so much better than the Cerberas I looked at on the day. I would probably still have it if I didn't need rear seats after we had twin boys.

I now have a Cerbera though and I don't think I will ever part with it.

Three simple reasons:

- I have the TVR bug.
- Of the various TVRs, I think the Tuscan is the most stunning (in fact I think it's one of the most beautiful car designs ever).
- I was lucky enough to be in a position to afford one.

Our first baby is due on the 8th March so it'll be interesting to see how much it gets used over the next 12 months. I'm sure there's somewhere on the roll hoops which would make a good spot for Isofix anchor points...

Always wanted a Tuscan

Did the research, searched for 9 months and refined the search to the Sprint Mag, BINGO!

Love going to the garage to look at it, Love driving it, and it will be out for a run as soon as the roads dry out, love cleaning it, love the sound, even the neighbours like it when it's switched off.

A combination of all reasons above - I enjoy the customising/looking after it side as well as driving it though.

Oh apart from the investment part - I plan to keep it for life - though when I bought was influenced on a decent deal appearing.

I spend a lot of time reading the TVR threads to inspire my next purchase or inspire my saving. a lot of threads start with..."Help this is broken", "I cant start", "Leaking" "Failed" but this thread trumps them 1 million times over.

And this is the reason, I will own a tuscan

Because I couldn't afford a Sagaris! It had to be one or the other. Now I'm really glad its a Tuscan - I grin from ear to ear whenever I drive it. Had a short run this weekend and after 4 weeks in the garage, it started perfectly, drove like a dream and once more proved it was money well spent!

I love it!

:-)

I had a TVR Power's first Supercharged Chimaera and when I returned to the TVR fold I wanted something with the same or more power/speed but without all of the tweaking, fettling and everything else you have to do to get it to run right on a consistent basis.

The Tuscan does that.
