Mr Blue was formerly for sale back around 2010 ish at Sebring motors near Wisbech (used to be a TVR specialist at the time) for around 30k. I looked at trading my T350 at the time but it was a bit of a tatty example at the time so never did.

She's coming along nicely. All stock parts used, Stuart can & I'm sure will tell you all more! Tonnes of positive comments from everyone that visits the workshop. Exciting things coming too, which I'll let Stuart update you all on...
The engine is looking super clean, has it been rebuilt and if so to what spec and by whom ? smile

Indeed it has been. Dom at Powers did a full rebuild, standard 4.0L spec, it had everything it could have possibly wanted. Everything is new / refurbished throughout, all coming along nicely. First installment of the trilogy in Sprint magazine this month, the next two to follow shortly after!

Looking good all round! One of mine had an engine rebuild by Dom years ago and was pretty much bulletproof afterwards and even the various new owners many years later said how well the engine was still running and this in turn helped to boost the resale value thumbup

Thanks Stuart,

Miles from HPC here.

Super pleased to be chosen to be involved with ressurrecting this iconic machine!

We also have the aforementioned PN05 OUK in with us to sell for the second time, a great car too.
I used to own PN05 OUK, probably 2004 -> 2011 (ish)

Very tempted to take her again, but a house build to do first.. and my T350 may get converted into a Sagaris (with some improvements) as a project..

Great thread tbh!

I'm sure once Stuart drives it, he'll be completely smitten and his T350T will have to make space instead I'm sure. The lightweight body is a marvel too, super cool!
