Tuscan Mods

[peteh]

Does anyone know who to speak to in TVR about the history of the cars? I recently paid £35 for a report from TVR on the Tuscan that I have just bought and was slightly disappointed by the information (or lack of it) that I received. It didn't mention any mods that may have been carried out, and didn't even have a record of the last service that was performed.It told me what colour it was, what stereo it has, etc... but nothing to do with the important stuff like engine + suspension mods. Maybe it's because it hasn't had any mods carried out, but the previous owner told me that the gearbox had been changed under warrenty at some stage, and that wasn't picked up on the report that I received.

When I bought my Tuscan from a dealer last year I asked for this same info from them, who in turn went to TVR, who apparently wouldn't provide written confirmation of work done but only verbal confirmation.

When I bought my Griffith I rang the service department at TVR and Kelly gave me the complete lowdown over the phone free - build spec, full service details, etc., etc. It was much appreciated.

If the work was waranty then surely the waranty company can cough up the information. Waranty Holdings is the usual culprit so they should have plenty of decent information on it - though they will probably ask for additional information on the car to confirm that you own it....

Some manufacturers keep detailed logs on EVERYTHING (VW/Audi do as do small volume companies like Morgan) but TVR doesnt seem to - had problems figuring what bloody alarm is on mine! Still, a poke over by one of the "famed" specialists should answer most of the modification questions, some might even do it for free - though would email the likes of Joospeed, Racing Green, Peninsula, Offord et al. I am sure they can help....

The new cars are supplied with a warranty from TVR themselves, so any work done in the first 2 years would not be anything to do with Warranty Holdings

I posted details of my car on PH, the owner turned out to be another PHer. Full history, £0

No probs I hope you are still enjoying it, Heath was telling me you had a fault with the stereo did you get it sorted ?

Taking the T350 to Nurgburgring over Easter with my brother in his 750 BHP Skyline and some others. They go every year but it's my first time should be interesting!

Still loving the car, although I am tempted by a Tamora at the moment I got the stereo sorted thanks, it was a faulty earth lead from the CD changer, Gorners replaced the unit with a new one. Never got 'round to buying a grille for the bass speaker though!

I've also had a new clutch/flywheel, replaced the anti roll bar links and had new tyres all round.

Sounds like fun, I'm too much of a wuss to take mine on the track (yet). I think a Ride & Drive course is needed before I attempt a track day. I'm sure you'll have a blast.

You'll have to come along on one of the many runs/events. I still owe you a or two.
