TVR TUSCAN Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 1,155 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 44 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 50% 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.
