Just been down to my dealers to finalise the spec for my T350t. Have changed the colour to Rosso Pearl, the same as Fish has.
They had one in the showroom, and it just looked fantastic. I have kept with Anthracite wheels, and will have the side and rear windows tinted. Anthracite/Nimbus full hide interior, slate lamonta for roof etc.
They had three T350c's in the showroom, and I must say the quality of the finish was superb on all of them.
The excitement is now starting to build

Hi Nigel
I Was down Castle yesterday, what did you think of the Nimbulus colour (black with fleck) on the T350 in the showroom. Knocked my socks off, loved the way Ian has had the insides of the lights painted as well. What is the expected delivery date of your T now?

Glenn, to be honest, I didn't like it. I just felt that it didn't show the lines of the car off to best effect, specially when it was next to the Rosso and Iced Titanium coloured ones.
With regards to the Targa, having looked at the pics that Pinkney has posted on the General thread, I am a bit disappointed to say the least. I appreciate that this may not be the final version, but to me it looks very much like an after thought. It ruins the line of the roof totally IMO. We are literally deciding today whether to abort the T order and go back to the Coupe, which is what I originally ordered at the motorshow.
I really do feel that they only needed to cut the panels out, and sorted it so that they were flush with the roof line when inserted.
I always go with my first impressions, and with the C it was WOW! but when I saw the T pics, it was Oh my god

Its done at the dealers. They get a local company in to do it.
To be honest, I forgot to ask the price. I am ringing the dealer on Monday morning to find out.
It certainly transforms the car though. On a brighter colour with Anthracite wheels, it looks the business

Couple of developments.
TVR have officially dropped Rosso Pearl now, Dealer rang me with the news. They showed me the letter from the factory, so it is definate. What a shame, as I had decided to go for Rosso for the new car. Anyway, have decided to go back to Wildfire Pearl, same as my Tamora was, it should look good, and have gone with the Anthracite wheels again.
On another note, after seeing those Targa pics,although they may not be the final design, I just couldn't go forward with the order, so I have amended my order back to the Coupe, which is what I originally ordered at the motorshow. So, looking at early September for delivery.
edited to say, that I have also brought a plate.
S6 ROR, found it on this site.
