Hello,

I had a test drive in a Tuscan on Thursday. Very impressed with the interior, much better than I thought it would be. I liked everything apart from one thing - the speedometer needle moves up and down like the second hand on a watch, i.e. more digital than analogue.

Since all TVR's are handbuilt to order, is it possible to get the speedo needle that moves "smoothly" like all other cars? Or do people come to love this feature?

Don't worry. It normally ticks so quickly in each direction it looks smooth anyway!

The Speedo uses a stepper motor drive and with such a long needle you can notice the steps if you look.

So don't and get it moving fast.
