| Video Discription | The TVR Tuscan Speed Six is 25 years old, so early cars are now eligible for import in the USA. And that seemed like a very good excuse to take one on a trip around some roads that should feel very familiar to it. TVR didn’t have a test track like Weissach, Nardo or the Nurburgring Nordschleife on its doorstep, so it used the roads near the factory in Blackpool (the UK’s answer to Las Vegas). Luckily there are some great stretches of tarmac in Lancashire. To really celebrate the full scope of the Tuscan, we also brought together the bookends of the Speed Six story at the very impressive Hilton and Moss facility near London. At one end of the scale is an early, red, 2000 Tuscan with its distinctive pierced grille and steampunk, bimetallic interior. At the other chronological end is a Tuscan 2 Convertible with a wavy dash and slightly more aero exterior. The latter also has some of TVR’s distinctive and expensive Reflex flip paint. As the Tuscan Speed Six generally got better to drive throughout its life, we picked the later, 2005, Convertible to take on the journey (the Red car also has less than 10,000miles on the clock!). It has a 3.6-litre version of the Speed Six engine with 360bhp and 318lb ft of torque. The straight-six is not known as the most reliable engine, but Hilton and Moss’s engineers had an interesting perspective on how it should be approached. Nobody is quite sure what the future holds for the TVR badge in 2024. There has obviously been the promise of a Cosworth-powered car with a Gordon Murray chassis, but equally there has been talk of an EV. The new factory in Wales doesn’t seem to be an option any more and they are reportedly now headquartered at Donington, but ways of contacting them are thin on the ground. However, whether there is a new TVR or not, cars from the company’s past - like the Tuscan Speed Six - seem somehow more relevant than ever. The very analogue nature of the cars combined with interiors that seem even more impressive in the current restomod era, means that they have a surprisingly timeless quality to them. We really hope you enjoy this film.
