Picked up my new T350 yesterday morning to replace my Chimaera that I sold nearly 2 years ago.

Just wondering if there are any other T350 owners around the Lowestoft area.

Hi Thainy,

Nice to know there is another T350 owner near by.

Does your T350 have a sports exhaust, as mine has the standard rear box.

I hope to be using this one most days, so dont want it to loud but would like it to pop and bang a bit. My old Chimaera had a straight through exhaust so was very loud.

Where do you take your's for servicing/upgrades etc.

Thanks

Steve

Not sure about Lowestoft, but there are a couple I've seen in Norwich (and I'm yet to see you thainy!)
There's one often parked in the Riverside (UCI) car park, and it looks stunning!

Hi Steve,

Yes i've got a TVR Power sports exhaust on mine, it's pretty loud but you do get alot of pops and bangs and its not too overpowering on long journeys. It seems a pretty popular choice of exhaust, i know alot of people also buy the JP exhaust aswell.

As for servicing i've just had my car serviced at Scole Engineering near Diss. A few people recommended them to me and they deal with alot of TVR's in the area, i'll definately be using them again.

HTH

Hi Darren,

I haven't seen any in Norwich yet, i'm in the city a fair bit but nobodys spotted me either. Nice Aston your old mans got there by the way.

Thainy.

Hi Thainy

Jason did mention that he had a T350 in a week or so ago when I spoke to him on Friday.

Scole service all our cars, they used to work on my Chimaera, have used them for the last 3 or more years. Will pop in there when I am passing so they can give the T350 the once over.

A few people have mentioned the TVR Power exhaust, the JP System and Blue Flame, so think I may wait and hear a few before I decide to change.

May see you (or hear you) out and about sometime.

Thanks again

There's a gun metal grey T350 in Lowestoft. A guy on Colville Road had it, he recently sold it, but to my knowledge, to someone still in the town. Just haven't seen it about of late? Will see if I can find out.

I know there were a couple around, one owned by a guy at Harrod UK but I have also heard that one has been sold. I know a Cerbera and a Tuscan that are local, but thats all.

Did he have a Chimaera before that?

Had this lovely Pearl White T350 up from Essex the other day for Paintshield.

It had the TVR Power exhausts fitted and sounded gorgeous as the owner pulled away......

The TVR Power exhaust is one of the options that I may be adding, as soon as I have sorted the badges out as they both need replacing.

lick Mmmm white looks so good. I love T350s, it was either that, a Tamora or the Cobra I have now. It was a tough choice!
