Hello there, been lurking for a while now as have been thinking about getting a T350 and there is some great info on past threads so thanks for all that.

The question I have is that I really like this car;

Does anyone have any info on it at all, is it a PH known car?

Many thanks in advance

One of the previous owners is still on here I think (maybe he sold it?) Do a search on here.

The below thread was on this car a few months ago, nice looking car, probably best to speak to RG for full info.

Thanks guys, I have spoken to RG who explained the car's history a bit but just wanted an objective point of view from the 'professionals' re previous owners etc.

i test drove this car a couple of years ago, was very nice. The colour has to be seen to be appreciated - especially in the sun.
main reason i didn't go for it was lack of air-con, but many people live without it (and it can be fitted however.).

it should be a very sound car though, as RG have rebuilt beyond TVRs original 03 specs and it should have all the worries of a major service taken care of... (i.e. no leaks/breaks/damage of components).

I went to see/test drive Carl's car on Saturday and feel duty bound to make a couple of comments...

Firstly I'd also like to say that Chris @ Racing Green was extremely up front from the first call i made about the car in terms of it's history, but I took his word for it being a straight car and went to see for myself.

Well the car looks simply stunning in the 'flesh', the best colour combo I’ve seen. Not convinced that it could be that flawless a job I proceeded to pour over the bodywork and spent ages trying to find fault in the cars finish but couldn't find any imperfections what so ever. In my opinion she looks as good as new.

OK so how about the drive, surely I would be able to 'feel' that she'd had a smack....not in the slightest, it was the most solid feeling 'tight' car i have driven in a long time, better than any car I have previously owned for sure and they haven’t been sheds.

I'd also like to add that as far as test drives go it was a belter, Chris certainly knows how to drive and TVR’s and when we swapped seats I was already grinning from ear to ear and had the bug well and truly.

Why didn't I buy her? - price mainly and the fear of re-sell prejudice in the future, I will however be getting my car (when I find one) serviced at racing Green and recommend them to anyone that asks.

If you can afford it and get your head around the re-sell thing go and have a look, she’s a peach!

The trouble is, it will probably take you years to drive it as rapidly across country as that wink (well I'm still learning anyway).

I think there must be something special about 2003 cars, there's now another one up for the same price. Looks lovely, has aircon too.

You most certainly aren't wrong, that was some bl00dy good driving!

Must admit I'm not impressed with RG at all. I'm in the market for a Sagaris just now, and three times they have failed to call me back about one they have for sale.

Its as if they dont want to sell them!!

Definately not. I also gave them my email. Strange, although I know I'm not the first person to think this.

Colour aside - bloody awful IMO - this car is (minor?) accident repaired? No replacement clutch (expect that to go in ca. 10-15k)? Call me a tight norherner, but that looks well over priced!
