Went for my second test drive in a T350C today and am speccing my order.

Q1 Are Lamonta inserts in doors and seats (plus headlining) standard or a cost option and if so how much?

Q2 Two dealers have told me that there is a delivery charge from TVR of £600. Ithought £38,500 was the on the road price. Who's right?

Q3 Which is best - Red Bull blue or Viper blue?

Q4 Working on a budget, do I need a Tracker or will the usual "Halfords Type" steering wheel cover lock accessory do the job?

Thanks in advance for your help but be quick!!

Thanks for answering but my only concern over lamonta and delivery charges is that you are quoting the same person who is telling me! Have you or has anyone else got a different source that confirms or counters these prices?

I am getting excited though!

Thanks clunkclick (!)

I am waiting for a quote from Sunninghill but could do with a comparison from Manning. What's the contact number etc.? I am not a member of the TVRCC but intend to join asap (in fact I'll do that now).

Thanks for your help.

Incidentally, T350C on order now with aircon and due 5 weeks or so. Eventually went for Red Bull blue.

Thanks for the info. As I have posted on the other "Insurance" thread, I'm struggling to get cover for a new T350C. I'm 54, live in a low risk area, car garaged, garage alarmed and linked to house, only want social and domestic cover, prepared to be limited to circa 8k miles, want track day cover, full NCB. A Manning have quoted £820 but no cover for partner whilst Sunninghill could not get me a quote as I have (only) had Alfa 166, Jag X-type 2.5, BMW 328's, 330's and 325's as company cars and have no 250bhp plus experience. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks dicky. Perhaps I'll try Sunninghill again and quote you and some of the other PHers.

Anyone else got any bright ideas?

I'll let you know the best deal I find "pies" when I complete my search! I've bought a reg from DVLA www.dvla-som.co.uk
so know the Reg. (T3SOX!)

Will try Direct Line tomorrow "dicky" and re-try Sunninghill!

Thanks everyone.

Thanks beemer, I'll try them tomorrow. I'm waiting for Autotorque to come back with a quote but it has taken them 48 hours already!

I'll post the best price when I eventually get it!

Thanks all
