Well delivery day finally came yesterday and all i can say is WOW. The noise is breathtaking and I have a cheesy grin that will not go away!

I am still in the process of running her in, so it's a bit difficult to tell what the power will be like, but if the power up to 3500rpm is anything to go by, its going to be awesome!

The colour in the pics makes it look a lot 'blacker' than it actual is in the flesh. It is so much more blue, especially when the light hits it.

All in all im well chuffed, i've just got to get the miles on her now! Here she is all washed and waxed, sitting outside Castle Coombe House. Oh and one pic of the front wheel taken after cleaning.

I must add one thing though:- If anybody is looking for a TVR or Lotus then i cannot recommend Peninsula TVR high enough. Alan Williams was not only 100% professional, but there was no bullsh*t, no flannel, just 100% straight talking honesty! It was a pleasure to do business with such a professional company.

What a beauty!!!

t350 - one of the best looking cars ever made imo. Even though I'm the very proud owner of a Sagaris I have been caught staring longingly at t350s on more than one occasion!

Nothing else, looks, goes, drives or sounds like them.

Enjoy!

Great pics, but be warned kerbs are your worst enemy
Find the best local wheel refurbisher and ask them if they give a discount on multiple bookings.

550 miles now! Grin getting wider and the engine most certainly getting louder!!

why is it though you can go out for hours on end driving about and only end up with 20 or so miles on the clock!? Damn this running in process.....
