Hi all,

I just wondered how many reflex painted Tuscans are out there roughly. Ideally that would be my preferred choice in colour but there doesn't seem to be that many come up on the market.

The only 2 I've seen recently are the 2 listed which are cat d and the other needs body work.

How much are you wanting to spend Kieran ? Here is a pic of my Reflex Purple Tuscan Mk one. She might be for sale soon.

The reflex Tuscan's are pretty rare, I have one and regularly get asked to sell it, but I love it far too much to ever sell, Tuscan's look great in any colour but they are extra special in a Reflex / Chameleon colour's.. Good luck in your search and you won't be disappointed.

If the colour really makes the difference, be prepared to wait... And be prepared to move very quickly when one comes on the market!

I have a reflex burnt olive car now, but previously bought a reflex green example that was plagued with problems... Mainly because I missed three cars on my first search before I'd even had a chance to arrange a viewing.

Glad I had the experience of the first one in hindsight, but don't buy on colour alone and when one comes up that ticks all the boxes (rebuild, aftermarket suspension, not "bent") be prepared to hire a car and drive to see it as soon as it's listed.

It's worth the wait.

Sound advice. There aren't enough about to be too picky over colour.

That's me driving in London, and yes unfortunately it's the same car. If anyone is considering it perhaps worth dropping me a PM...

Thanks all,

If the right car came up in a non reflex I would also buy it, paint isn't everything but I just prefer it.

I looked at the red one on the auto trader but missed it by a day, they don't hang around long.

But yeah I'm looking for rebuild, suspension etc. just a waiting game I guess

Hi,

I replied to your other thread, but would like to point out, that you need to very patient.
I had the same view, it doesn't matter about the colour, so long as it is the right one.
When I picked mine up, there was another in the workshop that I looked at last summer.
It was a similar price to what I paid, but it had a list of work that I would hate to see the final bill for.
So be patient and make sure you get it checked.

Thanks,

Yeah I guess it's a waiting game now and with the good weather were having isn't helping my cause,

One passed me this morning whilst I was out and sounded fantastic. Must be patient.

This is Reflex Burnt Olive: pretty subtle except in direct sunlight.

Copper mostly, but then also lime green/gold/red.











With the last one...
