Power par excellence – latter-day TVRs delivered ground-crunching performance and turned heads not only with their mellifluous sound but with their looks. This 2001 Tuscan is reported to have excellent body, very good paint and excellent glass, trim and wheels/ tyres. Our vendor says the car's interior has excellent seats and trim, the carpets, door cards and dashboard being very good. Engine starting, running, components and presentation is all recorded as being excellent, as is the gearbox and clutch and the suspension, while the brakes being said to be very good. Accompanying the car is the original glass cover for the rear window, the original TVR toolkit, TVR-specific battery cables and a second key. This car comes with a very good history file including service book and a quantity of bills and invoices, the vendor says.
A latter-day old-school performance car that is vendor-assessed as having excellent bodywork, interior and service history. Previously registered in the UK, the TVR was exported to the EU but not registered. Benefitting from a new UK MOT, and offered with its expired UK V5C to enable reregistration.
