this doesn't claim to be the swordfish car though - just swordfish spec - and I love it!

I get your point - there is only one swordfish tuscan! (actually there are about 4 but most of them are full of bullet holes - there's only one on the road!)

Imagine that. What a coincidence.

The member named Swordfish ending up buying the car from the film Swordfish.

What are the chances eh?

True true.

And being that we know Swordfish wasnt called Swordfish prior to purchasing his Swordfish Tuscan, then it follows, to any resonable individual, that the chances of the coincidence occuring are therefore near zero.

As is the chance that I, swilly, have a small willy, being that it is actually this long.

I've got one of each - a small willy and a Swordfish spec Tusc.
I was torn between a silver one or the chameleon blue, but watching the film made me decide on the chameleon. The car's a similar colour too!

I wouldn't admit this as jigs is going to pester you remorselessly, what with his new found prediliction for small willy's and his well known love of the Tuscan.

Did the swordfish tuscan come with all those big guns still in the back? Would have been a nice feature to deal with all the numpties.

Sadly not. My son was particularly disappointed when he saw there were no automatic weapons in that black bag in the boot.

Ok, I have to ask the dumb question, being a Cerbera person through and through,
but what is different about the 'Swordfish spec' Tuscan?


I was tempted by Mr Agger's 'Swordfish spec' but decided I can't justify it at this moment.

Did look

There is a genuine 'as used on the film' Swordfish Tuscan (one of four but only one to escape) - when dealers talk of Swordfish spec they've just referring to the colour - that's all.

Basically, it's chameleon blue. Not sure if there's any other important part of the "spec" like the interior colours, etc.

there is a chameleon blue one in autotrader at the moment.

it's at maplewoods of keston for 27K.

www.maplewoodscarsales.co.uk

have to say though, saw it last saturday...

it's in excellent nick, 5K on it only.

But... they struck me as a bunch of wide boys to be honest. forecourt full of crappy escorts, etc.

No test drive as in showroom with loads of crap cars in front of it...

'you can trust me it drives well'

down in tvr owners manual as topaz blue.. no reason could be given for this.

no details of any work done/receipts/etc.

Trying to flog it with a warranty that they give for the other tat they sell as if that would be useful for anything.

I walked away.
