TVR T350 - anyone with any experiences or own one?

[Juber]

As a second car is it worth while ploughing £££ into a T350? Never driven a tvr so don't know what to expect.

I believe the T350 and Tamora are supposed to be the best handling of the TVRs. The T350 is a brilliant looking thing and values appear to be rising. I imagine it suffers from the potential for requiring a Speed Six engine rebuild, but in general a car will only require this once (I have heard of engines occasionally requiring a second rebuild). There are lots of option for more power should you end up going down the rebuild route, so you can at least get something other than a fresh engine out of it.

Sagaris is supposed to be better than the T350s according to friends who have had both.

However it's best to ask in the T350/ Tamora/ Sagaris section OP,

I'm strongly recommend you go and drive one first of all.

Some people love them, some hate them - but one thing for sure is that they are not a normal car.

I absolutely adore them, and given the chance would take a T350 anyday!

In my experience, so long as TVRs are used regularly they are nothing like as unreliable as the reputation suggests - when you stop using them regularly I think they become more problematic.

But a Sagaris is also twice the money of a T350........

Yes, that's true, but they're just so rare and so much money I often forget about them, incredible though they are.
