Well this room as gone a bit quiet.Has everyone sold up?
I`ve still got mine (T350) Bought from new almost four years ago. Apart from replacing the radiator and the usual speed and oil sensor issues the car has remained a dream. So much so I have decided to hang on to it for the long term. Anyone else in a similar position?

Yes me.
Purchased my T350t new in March 2004 and have never had an issue apart from the norm eg, ops, wts. The engine spun a shell at Rockingham this year so it was decision time, get it repaired and move on to the next model (Sagaris) or completely strip and replace the engine components and see what we can get out of the sp6 engine. I unregrettably chose the latter as the T350 is still a stunning motor, its just a bit overshadowed by the Sagaris but then what car wouldn't be. Hopefully next year the T350 will overpower the Sagaris (Sagaris being a good bench mark).

yes Considered & drove Sagaris, Noble, Exige, GT3 etc... but so difficult to improve on a well-fettled T350 as a responsive drive on road or track, and in comfort too.

So same route as Y18, though keeping original '04 engine that seems in rude health as spare. smile

Hi-Just wanted to echo the OP comments

I bought my 04 Tam Mar 05 privately 9 months old, again usual niggles sensors, electrics etc.... all resolved myself or at scheduled services only real issue is I don't get to use it enough. Otherwise more than happy with TVR experience and planning to keep, what else would I get anyway!!

My comment mirrors Stephens.
Bought mine only 3 months ago but so far, apart from onboard display niggles the car is everything I could have hoped for (and possibly more).

Do you think, with only between 200 and 250 T350s made, and with some written off etc, and coupled with the stopping of TVR production that they will soon become a collectors' car?

I originally only planned to own mine for a year and then revert back to sensible motorting, but I am half tempted to stay in long term if I am sitting on a potential goldmine which happends to bring me joy at the same time..

Any views on my last point?

Had mine for coming up to four years, now. Longest I have ever had a car for and I tend to keep them for a while.

Decided a while back it's a keeper, and got myself a diesel polo to do the dull miles into work.

Only real question now is what to change to polo for...

Same here. No problems with the car, and no thoughts of selling up. And no chance of ever affording a Koenigsegg, so the Tamora stays.

Although, of course it would stay even if I could afford something silly.
