Personally I love the new front end treatment they have given the Tuscan 2 but not convinced about the rear (love Tuscan 1's bum)

So how long till someone comes up with a conversion?

I don't like the front lights of the new tusc at all, they remind me of the 2000 update of the Imprezza lights, a little too 'bug eye' looking, and has ruined the Tusc's individuality to gain a more 'corporate' look (maybe!)
As a whole, still nice looking though, but I do feel it is a retrograde step

I must admit this was one of my biggest concerns, but couldnt get Blackpool to revert to the Mk1 lights. I am still not convinced, but will run with mine for a while. I guess if I am still unsure, there are plenty of companies out there who can do a conversion. I still am confused as to why TVR, if they wanted a different set up didnt go with a more T350 or Sag style. I totally agree that the current lights are a retro step, which by its very nature the Tusc isn't. I was told that certain legislation came into play. I am not convinced as the mighty Typhon still has open lights, hmmmm at least for now.

Is it not possible to get the headlight surrounds in body colour, to my mind the new lights would blend in much better if this was done.

European Whole Vehicle Type Approval. Planning for the future perhaps?

I quite like the "mouth" treatment on the MK2 (nothing else though - personal photo-based opinion nothing more).

I wonder how a conversion to look like that would work (a lot like big phils typhon conversion I guess...) - those extra lights could become like mini-fogs or something?
