Seeking Used TVR Dealer

[Locki]

Does anyone know of a dealer near Beckenham (South-East London) that sells used Tuscan Straight 6's? Ideally one that's friendly/not too arrogant.

I'm hoping to finally buy my first TVR during July! I'd always thought it would be a cerbera, but having seen a few Tuscans around beckenham (there's an amazing looking metalic/mustard kind of one, and another black one I've seen passing through) I just love the way they look/sound.

Thanks a lot to anyone that can help point me in the right direction!

Walldonway are at maidstoneare officaly TVR franchise.If i were you i would be prepared to travel,i find most TVR dealers are SW london.By being prepared to travel a bit further you greatly increase your chances of findind the spec of car,at the price you are prepared to pay.

Example today i went to Fernhurst and i live in Canterbury (they have a few Tuscans in by the way)

I certainly don't mind travelling. I'm planning on spending some time tomorrow visiting dealers. Do you know the names of the ones in SW London please?

Not living round that way myself i cant give you all the places,but if you click on the ad list Top right hand corner of this screen it will give you quite a few.Fernhurst had 4 or 5 in today

Seen you live in Beckenham, which is only a few miles from me in Sidcup, I would also recommend you try Walldonway.in Kent, only 20mins to Larkfield..... In the Tusc anyway

dream machines in heathfield are very helpful and will try really hard to find a car the right colour / price for you

Whata great afternoon! I drove down to Fernhurst on Saturday - sat in traffic for a while, but well worth the journey.

The general manager there must have spent a good hour giving me background information on the two different series of Tuscans, the differences and relative differences. With my budget of around £30k, it seems like going either side by about 2-3k could make a big difference to quality of the car I'd get. He was very honest about poor reliability too - I was pleased that he didn't try to BS me like another dealer I could mention.

I took one out for a test drive too! It was a series 2, graphite grey with a really beautiful interior - an amazing experience, and I definitely have the bug now. My god that sound!

Thanks everyone here for recomending a dealer. I'm off to france for a week (motoring in the Range Rover) but I'll be spending the whole week looking forward to when I can get back and buy a Tuscan!

If anyone has a link to a good buyers guide it would really help. Unlike buying my Ragne Rover, I doubt an AA inspection would really be much use!

Paul,
Enjoy your holiday, when you get back check out the "New" Tuscan at Racing Green, all black, in and out with brushed alloy (no brass bits). BHP over 400, but no official figures from the factory, apparently, this is the first one of a limited edition.
