yeah it was used short distances most of the time,,, sitting in traffic or just driven slow to pose in,, as said once on a run it was mint,,, but a but twitchy at the rear and steering was very very very sharp at the front,, fuck knows how people track them as they take ALOT of skill to drive compared to a normal car

the problem with mine was fouled plugs,,,, thats all it had, they needed taking out and cleaning and it would drive mint again,, you may not know this but they dont have a cold start injector,, they have 2 tps sensors and are tuned with a vacum gauge,,,, they are basically race cars,,they have solid lifters, dry sump and a fooking heavy clutch

i still love them,, just not sure if i would bother actually buying one outright with my own cash, just take a look at a TVR garage, take a look at the work they have in,,, oh and also due to part availabilty your car could be off the road for a long time till you source a part,,,, the airbox we got by luck,,, some bird ( whos hobby was track use only her sagaris used a tuscan as a weekend car and also owned a helicopter too) fitted a carbon airbox and so we bought the airbox off her,,,,, she said " just give 50 to the mechanic and its yours" otherwise we would have had to also spend 900 on a carbon one, infact what a dream girl for most blokes,,, she was single too !
