I'm Back...............

[Milky400]

After all the woes with my previous Tuscan, I have bitten the bullet a put a deposit down on one today.

Not a common colour, but looked really good in the flesh.

Has had a rebuild at power in 2005 and only done 11k since, so hopefully will last a while longer than my previous one.


Does has its faults, clutch seems high, needs a good service, and LCD display fades, the of door rattle. But chassis looked spotless, feels good to be back. Collect Friday.

Hi Mark

Sorry to hear about the previous Tuscan, this one looks good and it seems you didn't have to go far to get it.

I'll look forward to seeing you around the Cambridge area sometime, or pop in to one of the meets; we're on a roving location around Cambs at the moment.

Cheers

Its good to have you back. The Wife and I took a break from TVR ownership. We bought a 57ft Narrow boat and lived full time for three years on it. After having "Done Canals" We came home and bought a Mk one Tuscan. It brought back that TVR grin straight away.

Looks lovely,

Beat me to it, I called but said someone was on there way down,

Enjoy it, I'm currently searching for one that's a little different and loved the red

Hi Mark,

Glad to see you back after the troubles with the last one! Fingers crossed for you, she certainly looks good in the pics

Despite all of their (many) faults, it is very hard not to come back to them...

[Milky400]

Thanks Guys, i too hope it proves to be as good as it looks.

Has a massive file of history which took an age to look through, even has some photos of when it was in a photo shoot with some half naked girlies....

Getting it booked into Mat Smith hopefully next week to get LCD sorted and 12k service..

wish me luck boys......

A true Tivver! You know the car will need attention and a lot of love, but you buy it anyway. I did the same...

I find that there are people who totally 'get' these cars, or don't, with no in-between..

Pervert.....................


Ill see what i can do once i have them....

P.S Cliff, hope to be out and about a little more in it than the previous one

Well collected this morning and no signs of smoke from this one (touch wood) and I thought "they all do that"

Although car is only 18months newer than the previous short lived car, this seems so much more refined, quieter and smoother. Reading through docs, it's actually had two rebuilds, one in 2003 and another in 2005.

Looking forward to getting some tax so I can start enjoying TVR ownership again.

Looks great, not sure I've ever seen a red one on the road.

[Milky400]

Not seen one before either, wasn't to sure but it was stunning in the flesh, with the dark wheels finishing it off

If only I had some tax.... Plenty of interior wipes goin to be used over the next few waiting days
