Tony, I spoke to the guy with the Reflex one a few weeks ago. I was considering swapping the Tuscan and going back to a T350. It was originally up for £24,500 as i remember, so he has reduced it quite a bit. Seems a very good price for the year. Didn`t get as far as viewing it though, but the guy did sound genuine, I was going to go and have a look, until i decided that i just couldn`t part with the Tuscan.

Cheers Nigel - Just spoken with the chap and he sounds very genuine.
Going to have a look on Saturday, just got to find a way of getting to Watford now.... Trouble with being carless.

I had a look at the relflex one in Watford a few months ago when price was higher. Found it to be a bit tatty. Had Armorfend on the front but totally covered in stonechips above it and the front badge mangled. Drivers seat bolster was ripped and other trim parts looked old or missing. It also needed a couple of tyres.

As I say at the time it was too expensive for the condition, but now could be a bargin if you are willing to spend a bit on it !

Thanks for the comments - The seller seemed pretty honest and did mention the seat and stone chips, though he did state they weren't that bad. Can you remember what trim seemed to be missing and what you thought of it in terms of chassis and mechanicals? He also mentioned it needs 2 new rear tyres and the seat.

I spoke earlier with TVR Barnet who carried out the last 12k service and they said it was good, had a small valve adjustment and a new spec radiator fitted.
They also mentioned it needs a couple of bits - diff bushes, a couple of wishbone bushes and a new oil pressure sender (v common I believe.) At the price its on at it looks a good buy, though with the work needed to get it up to scratch and the advisories from TVR Barnet I'd be looking at offering at least a grand off - would your gut feeling state that should be acceptable for the condition/work having seen it?

The cascade T350 looks great! If I don't need to work the whole day Saturday, I could help you get to Watford. If you could get the train from Cambridge (if that's where you are!) to Hatfield, then I could take you from there to Watford. Always happy to sniff aound a new TVR, even if I know bugger all about cars! Let me know, and I'll confirm my availability nearer the day.

Thanks ever so much for the offer Toby - I may have found a lift from a friend of ours, though he has yet to confirm.
Getting excited now - just got to ensure I leave my rose tints at home!
If I'm still stuck I'll give you a shout!

Seen the red one in the classifieds, not sure I'd be made to feel too welcome at Offords TBH so would rather buy elsewhere.
Seen a nice T350T in the classifieds as well in Highland grey that looks nice. Trouble is I'm not sure about the targa in terms of looks, wind noise & leaks.

TBH I'd discounted it after hearing of many horror stories relating to the car/dealer.
