Both looked stunning.
Are you tempted Craig. I love the the Tuscan,but having read your car details those running costs are horrific. Maybe a swap for pretty bomb-proof BMW mechanicals is due? This looks nice - http://www.sgt.co.uk/used_detail.asp?id=630&ty...
I do indeed like the Aero, especially for its character, sound and individuality all of which it has in spades. Unfortunately, the only likely successor to the Tuscan would be an Atom and I am several years from that!! Very nice Aero example you identified though...
Yes, the running costs of the Tuscan have been very significant - unfortunately. The first 6 months were brutal and constant, and depreciation nasty, esp with TVR going under, but to be fair, I am fairly prudent so £4k on (discretionary) warranty costs over the last 3 yrs has not been cheap. I have also been very disciplined in recording all costs in my profile. Makes me worried looking at it though, so best to continue driving it as often as possible to reduce the per mile amount.

Fair enough, I've never had an Atom but one of our members on a different Morgan forum came from an Atom to a new Series III - Aero 8.
I must say that I am on my third Aero 8 and have not spent anything on them other than normal servicing and some cosmetic improvements. The list of known faults is quite small, and really encompasses nothing too serious even though the earlier Series I's are now 6/7 years old.
Anyway, as you are not in the market I will stop extolling their praises. I'm sure that you;ll enjoy putting those miles on your Tuscan.

I was out an about yesterday, but not in either of those locations, so there were three active Aeros in london yesterday - a record!
Excuse met Mr_Tony, I'm sure you are well aware that there must have been 4 Aeros running around and about London (if you count the M3 as such) in that case. Have you forgotten me that quickly

ETA Oops just looked at the day/date :doh: however I was out and about Farnham, Fleet and A3 Guildford area Saturday PM, so maybe the Dyno special has been spotted?
