Don't hold your breath trying to find many other 1/64(ish) scale TVR diecasts. This MB595 TVR Tuscan S was sporadically in the Matchbox range during their blunder years of 2003 to 2013. The black model I started with was the last entry from 2013 before it disappeared. Matchbox did the quirky British sports car maker proud with this very well recreated scale casting. The curvaceous body and the extremely detailed TVR badge on the nose are simply incredible.

TVRs of the era were associate with some pretty wild colour schemes. When I found out that Tamiya offered their PS-46 Iridescent Purple/Green, I immediately knew which model I wanted to try it out on. Enter the Tuscan. I paired the TVR Reflex shade with some close match wheels from Creative One 64 and ended up with a pretty good replica I think.

TVR have a complicated and financially strained past. While still in existence, they are pretty much dormant despite the promise of a new Gordon Murray designed Griffith in 2017 that production was meant to begin on in 2023. The Tuscan the casting is based on was in production from 1999 and ran until 2006 when the company stopped building cars. The S variant was the top-of-the-line 390-400 bhp offering and is distinguished by its rear lip spoiler.
