Be very careful of not looking at the Purple TUS for 26000 notes at Chris Neil. Also 2001 and really excellent from the very best dealers.

Nick I do believe they do, it was there on Sunday. You may wish to check out a Rolex Blue one - mine which I have just part ex'ed. I guarantee you amazed at the condition - assuming you loke Rolex Blue.

I've had the Tuscan for 3 years - time to change, simple as that. Quite normal for me as that was my 7th TVR (350, 400se, 4 x Chims, Tuscan), new car will be a T350C.

Have to say out of all the TVRs this is the one I'm really missing, I hope the T350 is as good.

Geoff, don't want it, I already have mine...

I'm just pretty sure that orange one is the one that persuaded me to buy a tuscan - didn't like the colour of that one though. I guess orange is a hard colour to shift!

Cheers Geoff, I think I will buy that one then. If I can get a sensible trade for my old merc. I'm sure the T350 will be good, it apparently has a fantastic mid range punch and because of the shorter stroke revvs really well.
