As per title, anyone had a Tuscan...? Views, comments good or bad, anything really. Looking at a couple that have been chassis off restored, damn itch won't go away.... :x :lol:

Maybe worth speaking to stevespg, he rebuilds TVR’s and has owned and driven plenty.

I’ve seen some of his work on TVR’s, outstanding doesn’t cover it :thumbsup:

Great fun, easy to work on

All Tvr electronics can be a tad temptental, but all can be fixed by a few specialists. Check everything works as switchgear can be a pain to sort.

All the mechanicals are readily available and sortable, the most common major concern is the speed 6 engine. Fabulous when in song, very very revvy, but make sure tappers and clearances arc have been checked and not worn or may need work.

Throttles can wear, so a rebuild of throttle bodies improves things markedly . It’s cheap at £400

An awful lot of speed 6 were rebuilt, some better than others… so that’s the area that you should focus, but a full rebuild might run 5/6k, so not a disaster.

Happy to chat more if you pm.
