T350C Better looking than the Griffith?
Discussion
The point is that contrary to Nubbin's comment (...dated), Griffith is the last of the classically styled TVRs which simply don't date. The simplicity of design makes it ageless. The S for example, designed in '88 as an update to a 70's theme, is still a beautiful car today. I suspect the Tuscan and Tamora, which both possess fairly radical features, will quickly date.

So often I read comments from people who have bought later models and try to argue that the Griffith's looks have dated, to me this always looks like an attempt to convince themselves rather than everyone else....Bollocks, it really is timeless, don't care if later cars handle better yakka yakka yakka etc etc etc the Griff is just stunning - ALL THE TIME EVERY TIME.
IMHO
(all TVR's look great and each to their own)
The new T350C is in my opinion a superb looking machine and I am sure it will sell VERY well.
Better looking than a Griff?......I would have to see one in the "fibreglass" first. One thing is for sure though it will NEVER compete with the Griff as far as the sound is concerned!!!!!!
Andy ( needing a TVR more desperate than ever!!!!! ).

Better looking? No.
As good looking? Yes but in a different way. The Griff is, as mentioned, a timeless classic. The T350 is much more "wow, fark me wots that?", it really is a stunner. Wait 'till you've seen one to make your mind up - I thought it looked naff in the pics but when I saw it on the NEC stand I just had to have it, my order was placed on Saturday!
I have got concerns that the design won't date as well as the Griff but what the heck.
As for the driving experience the Tamora does make the Griff feel a bit dated. Even my fettled one. The speed 6 engine sounds great in its own way as well, more 'race car' than the Griff's 'muscle car'.
So, they're both fantastic cars in their own way!
Oh, the T350 looked MUCH better in the green of the car on the main stand, the (pearlescent white/silver?) of the other one didn't do the shape justice.
