Have seen that car in that pic. Went round three or four TVR dealers (well 2 main one's and then a couple of others) to look for a car, well one of them acctully. That was one of two new cars within 200 miles and ended up buying the other becouse of the colour of that interier. With the blue exterier it didn't look right.
The Tuscan 2 isn't that insane really, its fast but the insainity is all with the Sagaris.
Also on TVR reliablitly we were talking about for a bit, I wanted to say they don't really seem that bad really, just have a bad reputation. Dad's now had three (two chimera's and this new Tuscan 2 convertible) and the only problem was on one of the cars it had a dodgy fuel gadge so we kept on running out of fuel. Its the Tuscan engine thats bad though as you said, this new car has to be run in for 1000 miles below 3,000 rpm and then slowly eased in and then becouse its a dry sump engine you have to wait 15 mins for the engine to heat up before you can gun it. There compelatly rubbish engines, but still, it goes like stink.
Good cruise though, if a little laggy. And the whole Island thing, got compleatly lost.
