Dark Knight Begins..
Discussion
Hi Chaps
Well I've crossed over to the dark side and purchased this.... Peer pressure is a bugger when most of your mates are into cars.
The T350T will be hibernating in a secure facility until I've got a better handle on things and decided whether to keep her or not, as this was a bit of an impulse buy :/ I still don't haven't really come to terms with it tbh and those that know me know the time ive spent on my T350 and how I feel about Tango. Initial thoughts are its the same as the T350, but beefier, quicker, more torque and even though my T350 had the Centre of Gravity treatment, the Sag feels more stable at speeds. So not the same although I'm missing the targa panels.
I've had a few niggles since I bought it which is two weeks now, including the usual breaking down on the way home as the alternator wasn't working as the previous owner hardly drove it and kept it on trickle charge. It made 2 hours and then conked out 2 miles from home. We rigged a battery up and connected it to the Anderson through the passenger window, with my mate holding it, and limped home. So I replaced the battery, alternator and decided to fit a 125amp fuse. It also needed a new engine mount, exhaust hangers and although it was supposed to have working heaters and aircon the heater amplifier didnt work and is off for a refurb.
Other than that it needs some lubrication and some driving as Matt Smith put it
It's off for some paint loving in a few weeks as it needs a correction (those that know me, know I'm a bit of a polisher
) New light lenses being fitted, some touch ups here and there for the usual chips or grounding, wheel arches rubberised and wheels will be black. I'm also fitting a tinted spoiler. The spoiler needed replacing anyway as for some reason it was lop sided when fitted resting on the paintwork one side and not the other :/
I've tweaked the interior which was in good condition, with my carbon pedal plate and a Momo Trek R.
She should be back with a vengeance shortly and then ready for a road trip to Germany in June with mates and looking forward to keeping up with the 4.5 Cerb's in our group! The number plates will revert to the standard ones when required

Well done fella. I am very happy for you Steve. Car looks very nice!!!
Only problem you have with the plate is that you need to loose the No: 7.
Don't sell Tango, she is a real beauty, only problem is can you honestly justify keeping both cars, especially when their DNA is so similar ?
What about a French Track Day Toy, that can destroy NOT ALL, but many TVR'S on most circuits in the UK?
