Latest "victim"

[Red rose]

Well, after lurking around on piston heads for a year or so, I finally fell victim to the TVR bug and picked up my Black Tuscan Red Rose yesterday.

It would be a slight understatement to say that I am feeling very very pleased !

Just got to learn to drive the thing now...

Nice one Ian. Brand new or 'previously enjoyed'?

A pic on your profile on the Tuscan is definitely in order Ian!

Sounds wonderful.

My car has been "previously enjoyed" for about 3k miles.

I am told that it was built for the Dec 2000 motor show, where it was displayed in the inner sanctum of the TVR stand. It was then bought by Kings TVR in Warwick and registered in April '01 - I presume they ran it as a demo before it was sold.

The car is black with silver wheels, black leather, aircon etc. I'd be very interested if anyone has any info or pics that confirm the motorshow story ... but please don't feel compeled to tell me if you hammered it as a demo !

I certainly saw (and sat in) a black Tuscan with black interior at the 2000 Motor Show - it was parked in the 'behind closed doors' hospitality area on the TVR stand. Of course there is no way of knowing if it is yours.

Closest I got to exploring its performance envelope were the engine noises I made as I sat at the wheel
