Red Rose T350's
Discussion
ride height adjustment is not specific to red rose so not an obvious indicator.
The oem HB shocks on my T350 had a choice of spring seat positions for the seat circlip as do the replacement factory bilstiens and there is also the adjustable threaded spring collars fitted to the HBs now transfered to the Billies. I understand not all shocks came with the threaded spring seat collars but they can be easily retrofitted once you have the parts.

It's worth it when you need new discs simply because of the vagaries in pricing; it pays for itself in two sets!!Power do an upgrade kit. Been looking at this myself.

At the risk of upsetting someone, I'm yet to be convinced that a RR T350 ever existed as a separate model line. Yes, some have got bigger brakes, a few had 4.0s from the factory and there may or may not have been a lighter vinylester body. My impression is that, unlike the Tuscan RR, the T350 was offered for a while with "RR options" and very few, if any, cars had them all fitted. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

When I was looking for mine I am sure I saw an advert for one that was advertised as RR and the pic showed a more stripped out dash?? Maybe I'm wrong as a while ago now!At the risk of upsetting someone, I'm yet to be convinced that a RR T350 ever existed as a separate model line.

Mine states Red Rose on the official TVR paperwork that came with the car.
It has the 4 liter engine from the Tuscan S MK1, bigger brakes, a wider exhaust but standard billsteins and no CR gearbox. Also I have no idea what diff I have.
although not heavy it is not a lightweight either.
For me as well the 'Red Rose' is more an extra package than a different model.

Being new to TVR, although a fan for many years, most of the info I got was from PH, thank you to all in previous threads.
It was only when I took my car car to Str8six that Jason confirmed my T350 has a vinylester body, 4.0s engine, bigger brakes, larger bore exhaust and a different suspension set up. What the difference in suspension is from standard I don't know, although I will ask.
My car is registered as a 3.6, as vin plate says, and the previous owner thought it was a 3.6, although he was selling it as a RR, i.e. an upgraded 3.6L engine.
Jason said about 30 T350 cars were made as RR editions. He also suggested I hold onto it as prices are rising, but this the subject of other posts, and I ain't selling!

My Tamora has red rose stamped on the side of the engine block on the exhaust side at the front of the engine, together with Tuscan s down pipes and larger brakes, though I'm not sure if the body is light weight or not, guess I'll find out later this year when it goes in for a repaint

The vinylester based body is more flexible than the standard. Matt
