Hello all, i'm looking to take the plunge and get my boyhood dream of a TVR wink, i'm popping down to Dream machines in East Sussex to look at the T350T they have in formula chameleon green, GX54 RUR (was on a private plate X6 CYL), it looks good on paper ( slightly overpriced in the current market IMHO ) but i'm slightly worried about it having such low miles ( 3400 )grumpy , does anyone know the car or have any oppinions on what to be on the lookout for ? I'm mainly concerned about the clutch slave cylinder having got so little use over the last 4 years, I hear these are a tad expensive to replace !!! biggrin Cheers peeps. Sticky.

It is a great looking car and IMHO as long as you get a good warranty I'd not worry too much about the slave - any problems like this due to low use will likely surface in the first couple of months decent use (assuming you will be using it).
I do agree it's a couple of grand overpriced. To give you idea I paid 21k for my 8500mile 54 plate 350t from Castle in October. Mine had full hide & air-con and was in great condition. For the one you're looking at I'd be going in with an offer starting at 22 and seeing what they say. After all the worst is No and they may even surprise you.

I would always be a little concerned about a car that has not being used. Is it a Friday afternoon car? Look at the log book and speak to the previous owner and get a full story on why its being left unused.
