RE: TVR T350C: Spotted
Discussion
Fantastic cars. A bloke who lives near where I work used to have two, a green and a yellow one with (IIRC) consecutive private plates. However, I think he just has the one now, the yellow one. Fantastic looking cars, although in typical TVR fashion you can see the shoddiness when you're up close (the black lining around the inside of the headlights looks pretty shonky, much like on a Lotus Elise). They make a tremendous noise but I can see why they're a little overlooked; they lack the outright ferocious looks of the Sagaris and the Tuscan was a better looking car in every respect. Strange that there was the market overlap between the T350 and the Tuscan.

I don't get to drive many different cars but on a super car track day thing, one of these was in the line up.
I got to drive it hard around the track. To this day the most memorable drive I've ever experienced.
Absolutely my fave car. Fantastic and unique TVR looks, inside and out and such a visceral soundtrack.
I'd live with any of the apparent TVR issues any day without hesitation if I could afford it.

I do feel very lucky with what I have, even though it's the runt of the 'T' litter.

I'm getting deja vu, didn't you use the same phrase only a few days ago? I do love the Tamora, at least yours has a proper name unlike the photocopier-esque T350C I do feel very lucky with what I have, even though it's the runt of the 'T' litter.
I picked up my T350C on Saturday - it's epic. Goes fast, makes noise. I like that. It's unbelievably tiny as well, it's only barely bigger than my Mk1 MX-5. It looks comical parked next to my S60.

I did - the lease on that phrase is almost up, and I didn't want the balloon payment, so handing it back in. Thought I'd make the most of it. I picked up my T350C on Saturday - it's epic.

I love the fact they are so small, yet plenty of boot space! Fits great in the garage,, with room for a gym, too!

Stop it. The more I look at them the more I'm thinking of not going for an M3 and instead going with the 350. Id say this and the 355 are up there with the best proportioned cars of recent years.I picked up my T350C on Saturday - it's epic. Goes fast, makes noise. I like that.

Oh yes! My favourite TVR!
I've seen quite a few on the roads recently with the sun coming out a bit. I followed a cerb and Tuscan up the A3 the other weekend, well, for about 30 seconds as they were pressing on some what and I was in a 1.6 tdi A1!!!
Fond memories of tunnel runs in a Tuscan. The raw noise of that Six is incredible. I'd choose it over the V8 any day.

Lovely looking Tuscan you have there
Great colour.

Absolutely love these. Beautiful car and must be a riot to drive, give it the noise of the earlier V8 cars and it would be perfect.

Totally agree, perfectly proportioned compact coupe without the OTT styling for styling's sake of the Tuscan. TVRs are such evocative cars. I love the outlandish styling and the noise.
A Sargaris is one of my dreams cars, although this also looks fantastic.
I hope TVR does come back and flourish as a company - they are genuine contendors for the supercar market and I think they will make their mark (again).
