TVR Tuscan S is the coolest car ever made !

#TVR #TVRTuscan
The TVR Tuscan S is the coolest car ever made, seeing John Travolta in the film swordfish driving a stunning TVR Tuscan in Chameleon Blue back in 2001 I have always wanted to drive 1, and thanks to HPC classics I got to do that and share the experience.
With a lightweight fiberglass body, a 4 liter straight 6 engine, 395 bhp, and no drive aids this is as raw a driving experience as you can get.
This TVR Tuscan S Mk2 is currently for sale at HPC classics so contact them for more information

5k subscribers?? . Your channel deserves 500k. Hope people get to discover it. Amazing content

[@DamoDrives]

I really appreciate it and glad you enjoy the videos , still another 45 subs to hit 5,000 lol

[@v8will]

I've driven that car (courtesy of its latest owner). It's utterly wonderful. Got me hooked on TVR

[@ChrisVonBron]

Great to see some new Tuscan content on KZbin.

[@DamoDrives]

there are not that many out there and alot of people have no idea what it is. Have a photo of the car on my laptop and people at work say it looks amazing and then, "what is that" lol

[@2702simmo]

Finally! Been waiting for this. Beautiful motor and decent review.

[@DamoDrives]

Really pleased you enjoyed it and hope I did the car justice 😊😊

[@2702simmo]

Yeah it was a decent review and it’s good to see Miles and put a voice to the FB friend I have

[@DamoDrives]

Lots of positives then 😊, looking forward to my next TVR what ever that might be lol

[@chrisslater3174]

One of the best TVR vids I've seen, and with some well placed footage, I was able to feel that acceleration with you. And what a great colour combo...didn't think the Tuscan was one of my faves, but this car looks and sounds absolutely fantastic. I could be tempted away from lusting only for the lovely V8...😎

[@DamoDrives]

Thank you I am so pleased you enjoyed it, it’s an incredible car, maybe it’s not quite as direct as the T350 but looks wise and no roof just adds to the drama. v8 has my torque mind you

[@GadgetyMV]

Majestic sound! Totally addictive.

[@DamoDrives]

Was an amazing car but getting seriously expensive for a good example, glad I got to experience and share it

[@Bitofathickie]

Wow, this is my old car. Had quite a bit done to it since I had it. Need to be a good driver to handle it properly, a real bucking bronco and definitely an event every time you get in it!

[@DamoDrives]

It’s brilliant. The sound , open roof and the loving the car since I saw it on swordfish

[@Zerofightervi]

I saw a Tuscan on the M4 today, I've been watching videos ever since. That thumbnail has earnt you a new subscriber.

[@DamoDrives]

That’s very much appreciated and I love everything about the Tuscan S

[@Zerofightervi]

@@DamoDrives Crazy cars that are sorely missed. When you consider how much TVR achieved with such a limited budget too, bespoke switchgear! Even Ferrari borrowed from the Fiat parts bin.

[@DamoDrives]

Trying to arrange another couple of TVRs for the channel as well. Something also about older cars with very few electronics and it was down to mechanical grip to keep you on the road going in the right direction. Just finished filming in a Ferrari Dino and Jenson 541R and while they are not fast by modern standards put a huge grin on my face and a massive amount of driver engagement

[@GiotheGhreat]

What a beautiful car! Definitely for royalty

[@DamoDrives]

It’s a lovely car and can not believe it’s nearly 20 years old

[@Matapang2]

Going to look at a 2001 model next month and after watching this, really hope to buy it.

[@DamoDrives]

They are stunning cars. If you are not part of the TVR Facebook group I would do and ask questions of what to look out for. You will have to tell me if you buy it

[@divico1575]

Nice presentation! TVRs sales manager couldn‘t do better 😎👍🏻

[@DamoDrives]

Greatly appreciate your kind words 😊 and glad you enjoyed the video as well

[@MilesHardy]

Cheers! :)

[@carharttblade]

Great channel, not sure why it didnt blow up yet.. also id love to see you do this with a sagaris if its possible, my one of dream cars that would probably be too hard to maintain in eastern eu

[@DamoDrives]

Really pleased you enjoyed the video and the content. I have a lot more TVR content planned for next year and the sag is certainly on the list. KZbin is a strange thing so no idea why videos don’t do as well as you think 🤔

[@BombSponge]

Left bottom dial fan speed, right is temp. I'm a proud owner of a 2005 Mk2, it'll be up for sale when I die, not before :) BTW, many TVR specialists provide a main bonnet mod to allow you to lift it on struts. Great content/review.

[@DamoDrives]

Glad you enjoyed it and especially as a mk2 owner as well 👏

[@DamoDrives]

Glad you enjoyed it and especially as a mk2 owner as well 👏

[@06VistaBlueGT1]

Awesome video bud. Loved that you showed some of the oddities of the car. I'm in the States, and we, sadly, can't yet get one imported. We have the 25-year rule. Have to wait till the car is 25 years old (down to the production month) then it can come in with no issues, legally. Canada has a 15-year rule, so they already have a few of them. I'm watching the calendar as I want a Mk 1 Targa in the worst way!! Make mine purple or own of the reflex colors (chameleon). 👍👍 Keep up the excellent work. 👏👏

[@DamoDrives]

Glad you enjoyed it and I loved the experience , a dream but certainly out of my price range at the minute. Wont be long before the 15 years is up but the price will probably increase as well, funny to think my mini is 21 this year

[@m3jappa]

What an impeccable tuscan, the retrim is beautiful! Where are these roads as well? They look lovely!

[@DamoDrives]

It’s a stunning car and had so much done to it as well, wonderful to drive and look at. The roads are in East Sussex on the South coast - place called beach head) .

[@Kentviking]

I'll put it this simply...I had a Mark 1 from new - totally stock - and I really miss it. Think I might just have to revisit ownership again soon.

[@anthonywatkins2783]

Very entertaining video, well done gents 👌👍

[@DamoDrives]

Thanks Anthony glad you enjoyed the video , are you a TVR owner

[@anthonywatkins2783]

@@DamoDrives Yes fortunately I am, I purchased my 2001 TVR Chimaera 4.5 May of this year from str8six, always wanted a TVR, purchased as my retirement present, exciting to drive to say the least. 👌👍

[@DamoDrives]

Just waiting for a dry weekend to review a cerebra 4.5 GT, owner says in the wet it will want to kill you 😂

[@ChrisVonBron]

Right dial will be temperature.

[@DamoDrives]

Thanks Chris for that they are not always that clear lol

[@LawrenceTimme]

Another great tvr 😄

[@DamoDrives]

Was fantastic and wish modern cars had 1/2 the experience of the Tuscan

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@DamoDrives indeed. The problem is everything feels so dead after driving a TVR. I've put my t350 away for winter now and I miss it already. It's dry as well today so I could have gone out in it as well!

[@DamoDrives]

Cold and wet might make me a little nervous , whats the reliability like in the winter ?

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@DamoDrives yeah with no heat in the tyres is very easy to spin them if you aren't careful. As for the reliability, it's fine starting in the cold weather as long as the battery is kept on automatic charger. The main issue is the chassis in the wet and salt, being steel and powder coated if it chips and then get wet and salty it's going to rust pretty fast. I have also found my electronics like headlights, passenger door can sometimes not work so well after it's been washed 😅 I'll get those sorted next year now.

[@stephenharfield781]

I have a 2002 non S Mk1, can get wheel spin at 70 in third gear. Great car, will never sell it.

[@DamoDrives]

They are just wonderful cars with so much character although they spend a lot of time being ummm fixed lol

[@stephenharfield781]

@@DamoDrives I’ve had very little trouble with mine(touch wood as I type) apart from the clutch giving out at about 25k. It’s still on it’s original engine which is on 52k and still runs very smoothly. I will say though that it does take some maintenance, I take it to a TVR specialist every year who keep it running as it should before things go wrong and I have had some big bills, but these cars are getting on a bit now so that’s to be expected. I’ve had the car twelve year this May.

[@DamoDrives]

I suppose they are almost supercars so a few bills is not surprising and the built quality even new was some times questionable lol but that’s part of the charm I suppose

[@revinot]

Wowser these are such good looking cars. Im not too clued up on these but were these the ones with the problematic engines or did they fix the issues on the Tuscan S as compared to the Tuscan Mk1. Also i noticed some Tuscan S's have a different shaped dashboard and instument cluster with a three spoke steering wheel, are those older or newer versions compared to the one in this clip? Thanks

[@DamoDrives]

I don’t know a lot about the engine issues but this is the Mk2 Tuscan S; so the latter generation of cars. All I know is 1 would love to own 1, being 20 years old it still looks bang up to date , Makes a great noise and a joy to drive

[@coolcider1]

I want one

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Trevor , yes we miss you , But Peter Wheeler , I miss you even more

[@airgaborpara3824]

In case of fire the center consol a bit risky. The car itself superb.

[@DamoDrives]

How do you mean with a fire ?

[@ducksauce1290]

Reminds me more of a Viper then a Aston, and maybe a little bit of Cobra . It's allot more curvy then a Aston. I really like the Tuscun not so much the Cerberra the long doors and square tail lights make them look wonky.

[@DamoDrives]

Either way it’s a pretty pretty car 😂

[@ChrisVonBron]

I take it that you preferred the Tuscan 2S over the T350?

[@DamoDrives]

Hi Chris, I did prefer the overall package of the Tuscan although loved the colour of the T350.

[@martinwood8356]

The Tuscan S is a cool car. The Mk1 S is cooler still

[@DamoDrives]

I love the lights on the mk1 but I prefer everything else about the mk2 although the front bumper section with the holes for the air intake did stand out

[@evangeloskanalis6887]

Does the factory exist?

[@DamoDrives]

I don’t think the original factory does as the new TVR is being built somewhere else

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

new factory in Wales is now finished

[@sonicstep]

24:25, 👌😉

[@gentlemandriver1982]

Sagaris is the top!!!!

[@DamoDrives]

Not driven 1 of those yet but if it’s any where near as good as this it will be amazing

[@vicomtedelomagne]

If you want to go very fast and scare yourself, get a motorcycle [if you dare]. If you want to drive a car for pleasure, get an analogue Boxster [a 987]
