One thing's for sure - no need to replace the tyres as judging by the photo there's still plenty of grip left in them.

Upside down picture and a back to front title, good work

I've just come back off the Mille Miglia doing race support. There were quite a few modern super cars on it but I have no idea how you'd go about doing it in a modern car ? I can highly recommend it though absoloutley superb event. Very tiring though.

The factory tended to hide the aerial in one of the front wings - mine is in the passenger side wing which can be accessed through the removable panel used to get to the headlights once the bonnet is out of the way. My reception isn't great and I was wondering whether I could upgrade the aerial and still leave it hidden in the wing or whether the fact that it is in the wing is the reason for the iffy reception! Truth is, I don't really listen to the radio enough to bother doing anything about it at the moment.

I've seen a few Tuscans with the bee-sting style aerial mounted on the boot - not sure how good they are. Hopefully, someone who has one of these will comment.

Lovely looking car - I used to have one very similar - is the colour Cascade Indigo?

PJC - the bee-sting aerials were provided for the DAB radio units in the Tuscan S.

The conventional aerial is, as you say, located in the NS wing void behind the front light cluster. As with any aerial, make sure it is extended (a bit) AND, that the ground wire is secure on the earth point on the front OS earth stud (OS side of chassis on lower cross tube...load of black wires to stud). My reception on FM is OK with this configuration. Usual common sense stuff - make sure co-ax connections are good as well as a sound earth and reception should be acceptable.

That must have been an option then (or the luck of the draw!) as mine is an "S" and it has the DAB kit installed.
