Description

Introducing the TVR Tuscan Mk1, a true embodiment of the distinctive and wonderfully wacky TVR spirit. This iconic sports car, produced by the esteemed British manufacturer, not only promises a thrilling driving experience but also encapsulates the essence of what makes TVR truly unique.

With its striking GTS Blue exterior, complemented by a classic combination of Portland Grey leather, this Tuscan Mk1 stands out not only for its performance but also for its aesthetic allure. The low-slung body, prominent wheel arches, and sleek profile contribute to its unmistakable design, making it a timeless classic.

What sets this Tuscan apart is not just its powerful 4.0-litre engine or its responsive suspension but its genuine, original state. This fantastic car, boasting just 26,500 miles recorded from new, remains a testament to its previous owner’s commitment to preservation. It's more than a sports car, it's a piece of automotive history that's ready to evoke emotions and stir the soul.

Step inside, and you'll find a minimalist yet functional interior that's focused on the pure joy of driving. Supportive seats, a straightforward dashboard, and a sporty steering wheel create an environment that connects the driver to the road in a way that's quintessentially TVR.

This Tuscan Mk1 has been well maintained, with a detailed supporting history file and service record detailing its history from new, as well as its single-family ownership of the last 25 years, purchasing the car from Kings Sytner TVR when it was just 10 months old in June 2001, having covered 4,400 miles. The cars order form confirms the specification as including air-conditioning as well as the rarely seen 16-inch Spider alloys.

Most notably, the engine was fully rebuilt by Powers Performance in 2016, at a mileage of 21,233, meaning the new build has done just 5,000 miles since.

In a world where automotive experiences are now often diluted, the TVR Tuscan Mk1 is a stand out opportunity. A culmination of driving passion and unbridled individuality, making it a must-have for collectors who appreciate the unique charm that only TVR can deliver. The removable roof adds another layer of enjoyment to the car, transforming the experience of the drive!

With the American market showing keen interest as these cars pass the all-important 25-year old threshold, expectations are that the recently seen price trend of 90s Japanese sportscars carries across to these admired British icons.

Overall, the TVR Tuscan Mk1 is an important model in TVR's heritage, showcasing the brand's commitment to building high-performance sports cars that deliver an exhilarating driving experience.

Having been prepared for sale by the Hilton & Moss team, this Tuscan is now available for viewing and demonstration at our Bishops Stortford showroom. A new set of Michelin tyres has just been fitted, and upon sale the car will be supplied with a fresh service and MOT, ready for the new owner to enjoy the car immediately!

We can also assist with worldwide shipping, including direct to the USA.
