All T350Ts currently have T350c badges and kick plates - they will be replaced when the new ones are available.

On another note, apparently the 'Red Rose' T350s will now be produced on a separate line because they will be made of lightweight grp.

PS. the T350T with carbon panels is mine, now it's arrived at the dealer September 1st seems so far away!

Fantastic colour combo (what is it?).

Panels look better in carbon, although I still don't like them, especially from the front. Also when the panels are out the car doesn't look good at all.

Tamora with 350 looks please!! Surely TVR must be thinking about it, it will sell like nothing else! Special trade-in for Tamora owners? They will probably wait till next year.


Colour is TVR's own Iced Titanium, with Black Ambla and Perforated Mulberry leather seat inserts, and Anthrcite carpets.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I think it looks hideous, and completely ruins the looks of the T350C. Hard top and air con, please!

Have to agree nubbin. I have now cancelled my T order and have gone back to the C, delivery due end of September.
It is such a shame, I don't think that they needed to do anything else, other than to follow the original roof line. It just seems to be overstyled, and as a result OTT. (All IMHO) of course.

I'm still going to reserve judgement until i see a few in real life, as on some of the pics it looks poor and on others it looks good.This could be affected by the colour of the car

Tvr reckon they willsell as many "T" as "C" variants.

that looks wicked...

I wonder if they will be doing similar treatment to the T440R's...

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.....about what others think


Sorry tivster, this forum is too feisty and stroppy even for tongue in cheek comments like that! so I've changed it to a classical film line-ish to keep you happy Nubbin...

IMO all TVR's painted in solid colours look shite whatever the model.... and I don't like the Tuscan much either...too sci-fi for me.....the Tamora back end is all wrong..... and the tyres do they have to be black AND round.... can't we TVR customers have a say in this? Can I have a crazy paving interior or a York stone clad T350C? Look at my car, the interior is trimmed in real tripe...feel the texture...

Some of the above are serious comments...others might not be....but I'm sure you get my drift

I for one like it, AM buying one - when it eventually falls off the transporter sometime this week - and everyone I know and whose opinion I value thinks, the T is stunning... so there

What is it with us boys and our cars
Criticse either the driving or the car and we get all upetty to the pooint of agro

Was world war two started when someone said "dont much like that bonnet Mr Hitler. Beettle would look much better with a flatter nose"?

Lets face it some like it some dont
Im not sure but know that id love one if I had the money

Good luck to those that want air con
Good luck to those who want two removable slabs in the boot and two holes in the roof

Both go like stink and turn heads!

Oh roll on the day when I can be so lucky as to have the choice.

From Leadfoot :-

Well I'm supposed to be buying one & I don't like the panels, so maybe my opinion counts? 'cos at the moment my 40+K is not heading towards Blackpool.
I shall wait untill I've seen one up close but I'm very dissapointed with what I've seen of the 'T'so far.
Before dismissing my thoughts bear in mind that TVR have had a fair bit of my cash since the motorshow. At the time I would not have believed anyone who'd have said that the targa panels would just sit over the top of the roof!

absolutely nothing offensive - people are getting over sensitive again and it was no more of an insult than those derogatory comments about the T.
Everyone's entitled to an opinion so long as it doesn't disagree with others....

In that case you might want to use some UV protective polish on them now and again. With their position horizontally (obviously) they will always be soaking up the sun and from my experience bare carbon does tend to go a milky grey colour after prolonged exposure to the sun - CF looks great when polished though

cheers,
Mike.
