Anyone know of the 03 plate silver t350 from Norwich classic cars. Seems to have been up for sale/ sold at various prices throughout this year? Any clues?

I don't know the car but it looks nice from the pics. Lovely colour as personally I think the silvers and greys really suit the lines of the T350. Not too keen on the wheels though.
Reasonably high mileage for a T-car though in the grand scheme of things it works out about 6k a year on average which is what a lot of owners do anyway, could well be the mileage scaring people away??
No engine rebuild though it is cheap, especially considering you could potentially knock another grand off with negotiation, just keep a few grand as an engine rebuild fund as back up just in case.
New clutch is a good thing as that's a grand in itself. Good history, only missed one service but looks to have caught up there.
Check whos serviced it and also look at invoices not just a fully stamped service book - see what other work has been done at the same time to keep the car in top condition.
All in all it looks a good car for a very good price, just bear in mind these things can be expensive to fix so get it checked out - Mat Smith in Downham Market would be a good person to ask on that front.

Don't know the car but would not be put off by the mileage, they were built to be used, all mine have done 6K plus a year and i have found them to be fine so long as they are looked after.
As tony says see if they will let Matt do a check of the car, wont cost much but will let you know if there are any issues. TVR Power will do an engine inspection and warranty for around £900 if you are worried on that front.

I bought a T350 with same miles on it and I,am not at all worried they are there to drive and enjoy and as it is from a dealer you will get some sort of warranty and it is a very good price. If it was me and I had my heart set on a T350 I would buy that one, I bought my one knowing what it needed doing and so far spent £3000, I changed the Gaz Golds to Gaz Monotubes so much better, refurbed the spiders, new discs at the front and its booked in of new carpets and seats and centre consul re-trim, but that did reflect in the price I paid

I did have a little mishap as well and it has had a complete re-spray, new ally rad and air con rad as a result, but when its all finished she will look lovely, then maybe next year a new engine from Dom any thoughts on which to go for



Only thing is it is the wrong colour they are better in Black smile

Was going to see this one on the weekend before its auction (yep, ended up back on eBay!) finished on Monday. Dealer let me know a few hours ago that the car sold today for £18,750. It did finally have OEM wheels though

Item no 331078846704
Originally was 331078846704 ... Wonder if the winning bid was above reserve. If so now looks like was a good price

This car didn't sell on Ebay, I know as I was the highest bidder when it was pulled from sale.

I seen that T350 when I looked at (and bought) my Tamora from Norwich Sports cars. It looked great, very tidy with nothing externally wrong with it at least.

You can always haggle a little, too...

Ah, OK, I had no part ex, just cash - that may have helped...

You may be right. I managed to knock a grand off the asking price, which was comforting when I realised that the 6 month warranty didn't seem to cover any car over 10 years old, and seemingly, you're not covered for anything electrical or mechanical (except turbos)! jester

David put together a deal for me (with a px) which equated to about 17,750. This was before he managed to source the correct wheels and to be fair if I hadn't had so much on lately I probably would have made the trip and taken him up... only found out it had sold as I'd arranged to finally see it on Sun and he let me know.

Was it a good buy at 18,750? I only ask as I'm looking at a similar car but on 50k rather than 59k and trying to gauge it

IMHO that is a cheap T350 as I have heard from a couple of guys on here that it is bright and clean. The company selling it seems to have a good rep too.

Good luck with your search!
