Good turn out again today, but why were you all in the top corner of the car park? Took me ages to walk to the pub!

As you may notic I was rather taken by the fantastic T350's on show, can someone explain how the fuel filler works????

















Cheers

Open the boot and there's a lever that swivles the inlet open - neat as long as you've got good control over the nozzle when you go for insertion, otherwise I can see an opportunity for a nice mark on the bodywork.

Stunning perfect dimensions and styling details everywhere you look. Not sure about the holes below the front lights though.

Yeah I noticed those holes under the front lights. They looked unfinished don't you think.
They do look even more impressive on the roads than at the Motorshow or the forecourt.

Does it fustrate any owners to open the boot each time they fill up?

T350's continuing a long TVR tradition for hiding the cap away. Despite a few cack handed people managing to spill fuel (and I don't think they're as many as the urban myths suggest!), it's a neat piece of design on the previous cars!

Not if they've owned TVRs before!

I'm all for removing anything which clutters the lines but I would have made it accessible from the cockpit. It does look amazing ffrom the outside though

God be praised for those hinges too!

Has anybody else noticed a a comparison with Apple? Leagues ahead of the competition when it comes to design.

Edited because I can't spell
