About the TVR Tuscan
The TVR Tuscan Speed Six is a visceral, hand-built British sports car that prioritises raw sensation over driver aids. Eschewing ABS, traction control, and airbags, it relies on a lightweight tubular steel chassis and a bespoke in-house straight-six engine to deliver a pure, often intimidating driving experience. Its distinctive styling, featuring a curved composite body and a unique targa roof that stows in the boot, remains one of the most daring designs of the era. For collectors, it represents the peak of Peter Wheeler's TVR, offering supercar-slaying performance in a package that demands total driver focus.

TVR Tuscan fun facts
- The Tuscan's curved body panels were made from composite materials because the complex shapes were impossible to stamp in steel.
- The car features a unique 'targa' roof where the solid panel and the rear window can both be removed and stowed in the boot.
- Owner Peter Wheeler famously banned the press from testing the car early in its production run, claiming they wouldn't understand it.
