It does actually! So, so hard to tell from photo's. I did actually consider red bull for mine, but my cerb of 4 years was gts blue (similar but lighter) so wanted something different.

I think the colour in question is the same as the one I have ordered its Lotus Ice Blue. Mine is with Portland Grey/Blue full leather, with 400 BHP 3.6 engine with uprated brakes and big bore exhaust. The car in question went to the dealers at the begining of this week and as I live near the factory I kept popping in to take photos of it.

Barefoot,
Did those upgrades cost alot of money?
Been thinking about ordering a T350 and was wondering what upgrades you could have done.

Cheers

What a goddamn fvck off colour - its superb - Thats going to be a real problem for me - David at Peter Smith's showed me the books of colours - just to many - going to be like a kid in a sweet shop. Would really like a cascade or cameleon but you just dont get the money back and its £2000 - Thats the cost of my BOSE stereo upgrade.

It's about a grand more than pearlescent, which a lot of colours are classed as by tvr. Chameleon is £1750, Pearlescent is £670 and Rosso and Topaz are £880.

You are right though, you don't get the money back. Only must have option for re-sale is air con.

If you could "suffer" a Pioneer upgrade then these can be arranged at the factory for an upgarde fee, although they won't fit fronts or extra tweeters and the maximum size for speakers is 13cm in the boot. I have asked them to put a multichanger in the rear compartment, although only the 6 disk changer in the pioneer range fits. You also need to exchange the standard Tamora Pioneer head unit for one that works with a multichanger.

I've checked and the colour at the top of the page (the Cerb) is definitley my colour. Not sure about the one in the factory pics but I know aT350 left the factory on Monday night in Red Bull blue. Whatever, it's very similar and the blue paints certainly suit the car well. I had to pay £650 extra for pearl paint for this colour, which seems worth it. Just can't wait for it arrive now.

Well at least the cars will be used to each other then, cos once you 2 are out on the road they will spend most of their lives up each others gear boxs.

Kind of looks a bit Triumph GT6'ish (bigger though obviously), well done TVR. Can't wait to see one in the flesh at Racing Green next weekend (do tell me they have one).


don't know but Hawthorns do and they're only 4 miles down the road (in Farnham town centre)

I have been in the Hawthornes one. Metallic black, I don’t know the exact shade but could be starmist. Great interior as well.

I've been told mine will be finished sometime late Feb. I will have it for the 1st March if not sooner. At the moment if you get your spec in they will complete the car in six weeks....
