I've driven the T350C...

[christof]

Just came back from a 2 day factory visit.

AWESOME.

1. Got a very warm welcome from some guys at the factory.

2. Met up with the lovely Danielle

3. Had a chat with Ben about bringing TVR back to the german market

4. Had a meeting with a very friendly and understandable Peter Wheeler to discuss my special wishes on my T350

All in all they all made me feel I'm welcome and a little bit like I'm at home.

Brilliant customer service as ever...

And as a very special bonus I had the possibility to drive the cham.green T350 prototype just one day before it has to go to the Autosport show.

Some guys at the workshop had to work very hard to make it ready for my test drive. Big thank you guys!!!

All I can say after my test drive: GO FOR IT !!!

Awesome handling and exhaust noise. Very good build quality and very very beautiful when in motion...

So I've ended with speccing my very special car and hopefully will get it around May/June.

Christof*very happy*

PS: No T350T yet guys, you have to wait for at least another 3 months

No, I will get a RHD version, as usual. Don't like to drive a LHD TVR ....

Mr. Wheeler mentioned that TVR will offer the sequential gearbox as an option. Price will be around 4.000-4500 GBP. He mentioned also that the gearbox was developed for the Sp12 engine and therefore massive enough not to cause any problems.

Regarding the german market, Ben mentioned that the next LHD drive cars will be the T350 and Tamora. TVR will try to get more press coverage here in Germany and then create more demand to the cARS. Next step is to install some more dealers.

Not sure about the emission test, but will have a discussion with Terry, who is responsible for the homologation, in the next few days.

Flasher I've taken some pics and send most of them to Ted to post them on pistonheads.

I can send you some more if you like, but unfortunately there was no finished T350 at the end of the production line and obviously "silver" will become a very popular colour...

Sorry Thom, you've missed me.

TVR still do the LHD Tuscan. I've seen the first 2 at the german dealership at some other at the production line. So no worries about that mate...

Thanks, CAN'T WAIT !!!

Sorry no pics, because my beastie isn't in build yet, but spec is described in the beginning of the thread.

Yep, I've send them to Ted, don't know what he'll doing with them.

Anyway, send me your email and I'll mail you the pics
