... does anyone know this cars history

[webagent007]

Hi All,
First post here!
Ive been looking at purchasing a T350 for sometime now and have obviously been researching, watching, reading up, etc etc. I've noticed the following car that has now been on the market for moons (literally months and months) and have seen its price just drop and drop and still its for sale) Does anyone know the cars history or reasons as to why its still for sale.

Cheers for any info anyone can provide.

Hello webagent007,

Welcome to Pistonheads

Sorry, don't know the history, but would be wary of any TVR that's 3 years old having done only 2000 miles . Just my opinion you understand.

Have you had a look at the T35OCs in the PH classifieds? There's quite a few in that price bracket that should have been run in nicely.

Hi PinkPanther,

Cheers for the reply, Yes I sure have/do very regularly. Some very tempting ones on there at the moment.

Nice colour combo and nice price, but as has been said find out why its been laid up for so long..

2000 miles in three years! What a criminal waste of a thoroughbred sportscar!

Does it come with any kind of warranty? If not, and you ‘really’ want it, I would certainly get it fully serviced and fully checked over by a very reputable indie or main dealer as soon as poss.(I would insist on ever milliltre of fluid in the car being changed too!) If and when it has a clean bill of health, drive the poor thing! (assuming the HPI check is OK, of course)

(My Tam was low mileage when I bought mine, with less than 1K miles on it for one of the years!)

Hi Chris, It comes with 3 months, but probably covers very little at all. I would obviously want a 12 month tvr warranty on it, or would anyone recommend any other routes with regards to warranty

maybe ask him to top it up! that way if anything does go wrong your coverd.
I bought mine with 6 months warranty and had it toped up with another 12 from the dealer - 18 months :-)

VERY good idea!

I'm pretty sure I drove that one last April at the same dealer - prior to buying a new one instead.
If it had been that price I might have bought it!
Drove very well and looked good.

Hi,
The dealer concerned has been trying to sell that car for ages, think it's in excess of 2 years now. When I first noticed it, I think he was asking £30k. If you are really interested, go and see it / test drive it. I don't really think the low mileage is an issue, although a service would be nice, if just to put your mind at rest.
Good Luck,
G

A certain red one will be up for sale shortly at a rudely low price.
