TVR TUSCAN Uncommon
As of 2025 Q4, 1,157 TVR TUSCANs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,199 in 2019 Q4 — only 96% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 42 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 52% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.
