Hello all

I'm in the process of buying my first TVR and have a bit of a dilemma.

For the last couple of weeks I was happy to be looking at 350's and thought it was just a case of finding one that suited me. Then I got offered an E reg 390se, it's at the top of my budget and needs a few things sorting on it nothing drastic though and I love it.
So here's the question: Would I be better off with a really good 350 or is the 390 a far better car and worth the stretch??

Thanks for the reply. I can't wait to get my hands on either.

This 390 has the OZ's and under spoiler at the rear and looks fantastic.

Was there an age of 350 that had similar specs or is it just a case of whatever an individual owner has fitted?

Thanks.

No this 390 is blue with grey leather.

Unfortunately the 390se in question was sold yesterday!

I'm convinced that a 390 is what I'm after now. I was originally looking for a 350 as I've only got £5k spare ( 4th car!) and was happy with that, but now that I've missed a 390se for £5.5k and there's another on Autotrader for £4k, although the coluor may be the reason for that. My mind is made up, urr I think.

If you know of any up for grabs, let me know. It's not urgent as I'm out of the country for a few weeks. Anybody giving away their pristine, low mileage, fully loaded, never raced or rallied 390se is more than welcome to unload it on me

Thanks for the replies.

Looks like I'm in for a gentle and well thought out search. Which will never happen as I've always bought the first car I've looked at EEEkk.
