Other than PH classifieds, Autotrader, eBay, where should I look to find a T350C for sale either trade or private?

Are the days of a sub £20k T350C really gone? Most T350Cs I see on the PH classifieds are £24k and upwards which is not compatible with the depth of my pockets frown

It would seem so. You can pick up a Tamora for less than 20k though.

If you could check the back of the sofa to find an extra few thousand at least the T-cars are at the very least holding their value and in some cases appreciating.

No chance smile Your looking low to mid £20k at least for a good C and a T mid to high 30's low 30's.

There's a T350 Facebook Group, but as mentioned you will need to find some more pennies. Prices are rising or holding their own and I can only see it staying same or improving, particularly if TVR make cars again.

As the others have said, the 20k 350 is way in the past. A decent one will be mid 20s, though you may be lucky and find a desperate seller smile

I'd wouldn't totally rule them out but I've always preferred the style of the T350.

Other than the usual Autotrader/PH/eBay no-one has suggested any other places where I might see a T350 advertised so I suppose that means that I'm not missing out on any, unless maybe there are some T350 owners out there thinking of making a private sale?

That T350 owner will get more selling it to the trade than you though.
The odd car shows up on TVRWebmart and CarandClassic before it shows up on PH, so it's worth looking there too. But perhaps test drive Tuscan or Tamora as well?

Not every TVR owner is on PH so may also be worth checking the TVRCC website classifieds as well as those you've already mentioned.
If your budget is only 20k though I really think you should look at the Tam which is the same but a different body pretty much. For 20k unless you are really lucky you’d likely only get bottom of the barrel and they aren’t cheap to run anyway.
Not trying to put you off, just being realistic.

I bought mine from Str8six, but it is also worth joining some of the different TVR facebook groups covering the models you are after! Private sales are often put on those.

I've never ventured near Facebook, but I have a son who does. I'll get him to join.

I'm gutted, missed the bright yellow T350 on ebay earlier this week by about half an hour! Been stood for 6 years, was MOT'd 2 years ago and then had engine problems, the guy sold it for £14K, 26k miles.
Even with a major engine rebulid it was one not to be missed..............

Currently running a 450 Chim that I'm more than happy with but...........

Bought my first 450 Chim in 2006, sold it sept 2010 and started looking at T350's, about £18K in those days........ then found out a week before Christmas the ex was seeing the man down the road...... end of TVR's!

Meet a wonderful lady about 3 1/2 years ago and was looking at S's, "is that what you really want" she asked? well no I'd like another Chim, BUT it would have to be a 450 or 500!! A year last Feb she found one and basically bought it for me........ only problem is we fight as too who drives it, she loves it as much as as I do. So when in Rome last year I got down on one Knee and she said yes.

Saw the bright Yellow T350, asked her about it and got a big YES YES, but in that 30 mins someone else had jumped in.

So if any one hears about a T350 with a blown engine, or an acident damaged one, don't mind a Cat D but I'd want to do the repair my self so I know its repaired properly. I'm only just up the road from Willow (now straight 6 as well)
just starting to look, not in a rush......... looking to buy and keep so the "right" cat D isn't an issue.
Guess I'm one of many looking for that sub or even low £20K T350
