P.S. the only reason I was into the 6sp was because of my lovely Tuscan, now I can't have it - I'm sad

why would anybody in there right minds want a tvr in the first place, russian owned kit car built in blackpool, no abs etc and no air bags etc etc plus it'll take an age to get rid of the smell of glue.

Go for the maserati for sure. or a 355.

driving in hk is no worse than say central london, if you can cope there you'll be fine in hk.

if you really insist on a tvr then there is a bright yellow 280 for sale in hk, for $69000. http://www.car8.com/2cardetails.php?id=18572

yes I know the one, but they're still expensive kit cars that always break down at the end of the day.

The Maserati is a good car if you can stand having an auto with paddle shift.

That is what my Mercedes is. I purchsed for comfort and sporty-ness, not for the pure drive. After all, clients appreciate being taken around in a nice car, but it has to be comfortable for passengers too.

I don't want to really push the point, but the new tuscan TVR is not a kit car by far my friend
