The TVR Tuscan nameplate spans two very different eras of the British manufacturer. The original Tuscan arrived in 1967, using a Ford 289 V8 in a short-wheelbase chassis similar to the Griffith. It was a brutish, fast, and rare machine, with just over 70 built in V8 and V6 forms. The name was revived in 1999 for a completely new car featuring a GRP body with radical styling and TVR's own Speed Six inline-6 engine. These later Tuscans are what most people picture, offering a raw, unfiltered driving experience with no electronic aids like traction control or ABS.
Today's market values Tuscans based on generation, condition, and specification. The later cars with the 4.0L 'S' engine command a premium. Well-maintained cars with documented engine health are highly sought after, as Speed Six engine rebuilds can be very expensive. The rarity of the original V8 models puts them in a different price category altogether when they do appear for sale.
Buying Tips
- Inspect the powder-coated steel chassis for corrosion, especially the outriggers hidden by the fiberglass body.
- The Speed Six engine demands meticulous maintenance. Ask for detailed service history and evidence of a valve clearance check or engine rebuild.
- Check for fiberglass body stress cracks, particularly around the door hinges, hood, and targa roof panel mounts.
- Test every switch and gauge. TVR electrics are known for being temperamental, and chasing down faults can be frustrating.
- Drive the car to check for a smooth gearchange and a clutch with a clear biting point; the BorgWarner T5 gearbox is strong but can be abused.
