Mine! ... but seriously, the Tuscan looks stunning from pretty-well any angle, roof on or roof off.

I actually saw one of these the other day ... and then had to explain to my friends why I had gleefully run off to look at a knackered old car made of cardboard.

Unless, of course, you own a British automobile, in which case the most annoying part is trying to keep water out of the passenger compartment.

Who expected the Brits would could create something so undeniably evil sounding yet disturbingly amazing?

Real TVR owner here too and, whilst my Tuscan has broken down, I can live with it for the fun upto that point. Also it’s a fairly nice place to sit while waiting for a mechanic!

Just thought I’d offer my 2 cents on this one:

Hey! TVRs aren’t that bad. My Tuscan is running fine ... since I got it back from it’s service ... which it broke down on the way to ...

Sorry - it's genuinely a green car, but any excuse!

While it's not a UR, my daily driver is a (snapilly named) Audi 100 Avant Quattro Turbo. Granted it's not the fastest thing in the world with the 5-cylinder turbo MC block only giving 165bhp when it was new, and mine is currently in need of a new set of rear shocks, new bushes all round, the dent pulling out of the…

I've always loved this old brute, for pretty-much the reasons you've covered above. It's a mean looking thing (and I'm intentionally ignoring the Le Mans and that hideous grille) with far too much power for it's own (and it's drivers) good; would it be fair to call it an English gentleman's muscle car?

Much as I hate 'txt' speak, next time someone uses "lol" I can now give them the alternative of "ica" - I Chortled Audibly. You have made the world a little bit better sir.

Always go with the 127, (I miss mine), Although who knows what the waiting time for a set of X1/9 alloys would have been!

Is it just me, or is it worse when it's your fault? Sure it's bad if some idiot plows into you but at least you've got someone else to blame, whereas if it's just you the list of suspects if pretty short.

The Tuscan has these under the steering wheel, as well as a "spherical turning tobacco combustion by-product concealment element" in the centre console.

I've got to agree about new vs. used prices, probably because I'd never be able to afford a new sportscar granted, but you can pick up some serious machinery for $35k (or whatever the £££ equivalent would be).

Can I suggest my 1977 Fiat 127? No? Well I'm going to anyway! Absolutely brilliant around town, it was small enough to go through almost any gap (to the great annoyance of BMW & Porsche Cayenne drivers stuck in traffic) and you could even fit it down cycle lanes (I only did it once, ok?!). It was a bit painful on…

I knew *someone* had to have mentioned the Speed Six. Yes it had problems to start with and yes it needs to be treated carefully but believe me, it's worth the hassle. I'm lucky enough to own a Mk1 Tuscan Speed Six and I still haven't got over the noise of the thing; it's such a raw animal sound, like an angry wounded…
