Hmmm, I like it, in a better colour with the spiders on

But who put that BIG Exhaust on it. Looks like two trumpets sticking out of it's arse!

I have to re-consider my opinion on the rear end now I saw the just added photo straight from behind, I think it suits the whole concept very well. What particularly impresses me is the blend of the ordinary with the classy detailing and styling, but TVR has a patent on that. I love it, but don''t even dare to ask whether we wille ever see LHD''s

The wheels are stunning... in fact, the whole car is stunning !!! I want one... ohhhh yeeessss... money might be the only trouble. Oh shite, nearly got the check book out and forgot that but still . The guys at TVR have done a good job if you ask me, well done boys, that's impressive.

I'll say - all their new cars are stunning.. who cares about the wheels or colour inside or outside? You can choose your own.. stunning cars..

The chrome rims are 19s. And they look pretty good in the flesh. Well, okay. Well, when I say okay, I mean a bit like a Corvette...

Has anyone got a deposit down on a Tuscan R ? Just wondered as you can't buy it now. Will your cars turn up as T400R (suspiciously close to 390 = Tuscan S spec engine) ? I just remember some of the comments people were making when the Tuscan eventually turned up (was the Griffith speed 6 originally).

I guess I'm just hoping you really can now buy a T440R with 440 (or more ) horses as opposed to it being a one off, built specially for races.

Nice looking car in all, but what's with the colour (I expect it looks better in the flesh). Those wheels look like really cheap aftermarket jobs you'd get from Motorworld or something. Come on TVR, what's wrong with a classy set of BBS's or something...? I hate those weak looking spindley spokey things. Even some good old multispokes would have looked better.

Just re-dribbling over this vehicle I realised that TVR triggers something of the 'completist' in me.

I can honestly say that I thoroughly adore each and every model.

Frankly, I want at least one of each. Mmmm...

The T440R is stunning! However, the brownish paint
scheme can go. The interior is very dynamic and gives
an appearance of all business with a touch of luxury.
The T350C is also quite striking particularly from the
front 3/4 view. I'm still warming up to the rear
view, however as I don't believe the Maserati 3200-
style taillights fit the overall contours of the
styling. Overall, however, good job, TVR!!!

Car looks awesome!!! My initial thoughs on the colour are - 'different - Depends on what it looked like in the flesh '.
I think I'm definitely doing the lottery tonight ... you never know!!!

Can anyone who know answer the following:

on the website it quotes 70k for the 440, anyone
know what the price is for a T400.

Are there any back seats in the car at the show,
or are these an optional extra (at what price?)

what options are included ie. air-con, xenon lights,
leather, cd, dab etc in the price ?

what are the quoted delivery dates now?

The Rear view is fantastic, some drivers will keep their distance in the fear of being scorched !! not sure about interior, The speaker in the door looks nice

I reckon it's Browne for a good reason.

G & C - Well done - it is phenomenal.

Will you be doing a Tamiya version? If so, how much will it be and how should I best set my camber?

What an ARSE reminds me of JO LO's which is also a top looking arse.
Not to sure on the colour though,like the wheels think they go well with it but hay if u dont like them and spent £70k on the car im sure u can afford what ever wheels u want.
Also like the interior, looks smooth/uncluttered to the point and as usual the console around the steering wheel looks like 'the muts ...'

All together a top looking package and cant wait to see some on the road so come onTVR can your Arse in gear and get them rolling,rolling rolling....
