'Wow' and 'On my god' come to mind 
What a stunning car. Absolutely amazing. Not since Richard Squire's RS200 has a car left me speechless.
This was a brand new Tuscan S with only 700 miles on the clock, so not yet properly run. But you could feel the power. The whole car rumbles and shakes when you start the engine. And the sound - I thought a Scoob sounded good! What a car. This one was stunning with a one-off custom paint job and interior. Very comfy - ride was surprisingly good and amazingly docile when chugging around at 40mph. The owner, Gary was only taking it upto 4.5K revs but this was enough to see 3 figure speeds with no effort.
I want one
The owner, Gary Morrell (owns Central Garage in Leigh On Sea) is a complete car nut - this is his 14th TVR (and 3rd Tuscan)!! You can find him on Pistonheads - they've nicknamed him Gary Glitter because of the custom paint job (and when you've seen the car, you'll know why - it is lovely ). Many thanks Gary - totally amazing car.

Gary specced 'em in silver! He had the whole car done to his spec. So the 'S' spoiler was removed - he didn't like it. Custom leather interior and all the internal components were done in machined aluminium, as opposed to the normal Tuscan that has a number of brass / gold fittings. Have to say it looked stunning. I guess he choose the wheels to match.

Could well be joining him soon with another black S
I'm unsure about anthracite wheels, they would be great in black, but I fear black bodywork would make anthracite wheels look a bit dull.
Pretty much everyone is speccing non-brass interiors now from what I gather. Certainly we will.
