Get the suspension and geometry properly checked and set up. It will make the world of difference to your Tuscan experience! Get some pics up as well!

I brought my first a year ago and did exactly that: I took it to Str8six for a once-over. It came back with a list of things, mostly minor, which I had done by them...

I've now had a year of trouble free motoring in it, so I reckon a checkover by a specialist is a pretty good idea. Would thoroughly recommend str8six, depending on where you are....

Have fun!
Bill.

Bought mine a year ago too .....from Str8Six. Great cars.

Would very much recommend Jason and his team. No pressure. Very thorough in my experience.

Harvey - seeing as you are based in Kent I can highly recommend Taylor TVR in Aylesford. The proprietor, Dan Taylor, has been involved with TVR's for a very long time and certainly knows his stuff.

Pick mine up in 20 days..... Start new job and move house before then. But cannot wait, fingers crossed we both have good ones

The car is bloody awesome
Gave it a full valet inside and out, it looks stunning
Have a few niggles as expected ie driver door keeps unlocking and window opening
Also the handbrake isnt very good at the mo
Gonna book it in to Taylor TVR but want to have it a few weeks first
Thanx for all the ti9s and advice, keep it coming

For door unlocking check to see if the emergency door release pull is fully home (pushed in)
I used mine recently on the passenger side due to a sticky door solenoid not releasing and the door kept popping open after this until I re-seated the release cable. I think these get a bit sticky due to lack of use. PS nothing complicated in doing this just push the release handle forward, if it moves it wasn't fully home, or its stuck

and if not that then might be worth checking the micro switch under the chrome cover of the door latch. Mine started getting water into the drivers door one causing the same symptoms.
