RE: Driven: T350C

Stunning

Why can't I afford one?

[Pierscoe1]

Ouch!!!
That is just painfully beautiful!!!!!
definately top of the list.
the best thing about it is that as well as being the dog's doodaas as far as performance and looks go, it's also really quite small, compared to other supercars, so you could enjoy it every day!!!

Wow that is the best looking car I think I have ever seen.
I predict TVR will sell thses like mad and people will probably pay a premium to get hold of one.
If I had the money my order would be down now!

[sixspeed]

The first car I've seen (apart from a Zonda, but I don't have that kind of money!) that would make me seriously consider trading in the Tuscan early....

Need to drive one me thinks!

From sone angles that looks very much like a 911, sorry TVR. I also has a side profile not dissimilar to my old M (or anyone elses old M for that matter)which was a great looking car
However as others have said it looks a lot better than the motor show pics, I resisted making my mind up if I liked it or not, I have now and I do, I think it looks great, is there a rear seat option....

Please....

Go on...

Looks like I have just found myself a new wallpaper!!

[FatButtFast]

AWESOME!!!

I was impressed at the show but the article has really got me going, well done PH/Ted etc.

Ive only had the Griff since May and am already thinking of the unthinkable (as far as the missus is concerned). Erm, does anyone know when the the targa is going to be ready???

[jedi]

Hmmmmm despite dreading the niggles and the build quality, I really fancy one. Will wait until they clarify what they are doing about more power and then order one for early 2004.

Plotloss said:They've done an absolutely lovely job with that front numberplate.

Yes, who'd have thought of a "stick-on" one Rich...

Bloody lovely, want one R...

[MEMSDesign]

That looks bloody brilliant. I want one!

[granville]

Oh joy!!!

In black, this is quite the most stunning creation thus far from Blackers.

I simply need one.

[markqelise]

Well that has probably made my mine up - and I want it in Black - Sorry Lee Noble - but £14K is a lot of money to save.

I'll check the Targa out at auto sport and then I think a deposit will be going the way of Peter Smith sportscars.

[Alex]

Hated the Tamora, but this looks GREAT. Still not sure about the cheese grater at the back, and surely they could hide the hinge mountings on the rear glass window. If I had the cash, I'd be tempted to return to TVR ownership.

[cirks]

From someone who wasn't that impressed by the motorshow piccies it certainly looks a lot better in these new ones and black seems to suit it. Although any TVR is a better car than a 911 (just a tiny bit of bias coming through) the T350C does look like it may well be a real alternative for that type of look.

I assume they will provide some sort of cover for the storage area otherwise that large boot is a complete waste of time as the rear window will get caved in by the first yob to spot anything at all in the boot.

[johno]

I will own one.

I waited 8 years to own the right Griffith. I will on a T350. Can't wait to have a go and see what the T350T is like in the flesh.

[Exint2]

Fantastic looking car, but ......... The problem is the engine, and its huge potential for problems - is the 3.6 better than the 4.0 for reliability? You still see everyday on PH stories of speed sixs lunching valve guides and cam followers - and constantly going out of tune... My Cerb did this (not to badly but still enough for 4 days off the road) back in early 99 - nearly 4 years on the engine should have been sorted, but appears not - have they made any changes for these new models???????

[bennno]

think sp6 is relatively sorted now, but i guess with any engine tuned to almost 100bhp/ltr it may need attention every now and again.

damn and blast had pretty much decided on black, and saw none on the production line, so thought it would be pretty much exclusive! it looks so good i guess those plans are toast..

What colours of interior go with black as I dont like lt grey as per this one. Is Red bad taste, black too dark or creme / magnolia a bit old hat? Suggestions please...

Bennno

[plotloss]

Benno,

Red leather I feel is a lovely addition to a black car. It looks absolutely fab on the Alfa's but its got to be the right red of course. More burgundy than pillar box would be my advice...



Matt.

[RichB]

Ben

Black with red is excellent IMO but then I'm biased as my wifes Alfa Spider is these colours. The Alfa Momo red is a nice blood red Here's what it looks like on a Tamora.

Rich...

[tekbloke]

I do love black. My Mcoupe is black, the problem being that it looks filthy 95% of the time. I think my T350 is going to be a light colour,...oh the decisions that face me in the new year..
