Cant quite put my finger on it, but that last picture of the red one from the back looks faintly familiar. The drop of the roof-line, the meeting of the side glass and the size of the rear hatch - GT6 maybe? Looks like it is in all the right proportions too...
Anyone think that it looks familiar?

Looks like a mixture of mostly AM DB4/5/6 with a dash of Triumph TR6 and a hint of Maserati 3200 around the rear window and rear lights.
The front seems more Porsche-like than TVR usually gets.
And can someone tell me who came up with that inward-sweep on the doors? Was TVR the first to do that or was it Dodge with the Viper? Or was it someone else?

Think the Griff, where it was 1st seen pre dates any Viper and I believe the whole point of the 'design feature' is to hide the panel gap at the front edge of the doors
Indeed TVR Griffith was the first to use this - Dodge simply copied it presumably because they admired the Griffith...

I thought it was to allow them to open at a steeper angle.
I just wish they'd done the wing-mirror door buttons and center-console opening knob (a'la Chim) on the Griff as well. I love that.

Matt, do I detect the feeling you're keeping the Chim - have I missed something?

I popped into the TVR Centre over Christmas and they have their first T350 there. I had a chance to have a good look over it from the outside. The nose doesn't look as long as in the photos, making it look more stubby and compact. The hinges on the rear glass look quite good - looks like they were made from drilled alluminium. The rear screen stood proud of the line of the body but I don't think this is necessarily important as I don't know whether they had a chance to adjust it. The petrol cap looks cool!

I had a good look at the TMS T350C a few days ago & was quiet impressed although if you looked hard particularly at the interior trim & rear window fit it showed that particular one had been a bit rushed down the line. I liked it in the Chameleon blue showed off the lines very well. Test drive next week ,but I don’t think I’ll part with the Tuscan for one.
