Flash, you don't go home via Daventry do you? I'd love a look at the new arrival...particularly as I was there when you'd ordered it. I'm sure Emma would love a shuftie at it too.

Nice one mate. Lovely car

My first impression is just from a looking point of view, went up to Racing Green today a had a look at the couple they have in stock. Colour is unimportant, it is bloody gorgeous. Looks smaller than it probably is (not cramped or anything, just looks small). Went straight home and fired up www.jobserve.com ......I need that car!!!!!

Greg

I have emailed you through your profile too, but I have a feeling that Ted's email system is up the creak....

Not sure what to do now!!

Have any of you new T350c owners been remotely worried about the lack of any luggage covers, the rear hatch gives a nice big 'shop window' to any scotes in a carpark or does a nice big TVR rug come as standard to chuck over your laptop in the boot when you pop in the pub?

The factory are working on the luggage cover. It consists of a bulkhead behind the seats(stopping stuff flying forward)and a cover to cover all your goodies.

I guess if you were using it everyday the lack of a cover would be a problem.

I would want to see what it looked like before i made a decision to have it

Up to 380 miles now!

What can I say, that hasn't already been said?

OH MY GOD!!!

This car is awesome. Quite simply, it is the best car TVR has ever built. When Andy took me round the roundabout halfway along our little test drive, he opened the car up halfway round. I thought we might be joining the cows in the adjacent field, but oh no - just straight round. Body roll? Not a bit of it.

Wonderful noise too - and that's at a limited RPM.

Andy, thank you so much. You're a very lucky man to own such a wonderful, fine looking car. One of my neighbours knocked just now to enquire about "that lovely car outside your house earlier". I think that sums it up, really.

Cheers Greg, a pleasure!!

And I must confess I was pretty smitten by your canalside Gaffe mate, very nice!!

Your Wife asking me to swap the T350 for the Boxster made my day!!

Up to 320 miles now.... and the exhaust is starting to burble even louder, it sounds fantastic!! I can't wait until I can really open it up!!!

Still chuffed to bits with it, everyone so far has complimented how beautiful it is....

yup, mines just past 400 and its definately getting louder and its definately burbling, with just the slightest hint of a pop at this point.

a guy asked me yesterday what size V8 it had, and its definately not a weedy six noise that its making.

Will be on 700 by tomorrow night so will report back shortly about further improvements.

Agreed Ben, it certainly does not sound like a straight six. I must confess I stayed outside far too long as Andy left, only to hear that sublime sounding exhaust make its way up our road. I could still hear him about 30 seconds later as he drove away marvellous.

Must say as well that the rear end of the car is superb, despite my initial misgivings at the motorshow. It looks well sorted and the rear light clusters are wonderful. At the risk of flaming from other TVR owners, I also happen to think the interior fixtures and fittings are excellent, best ever on a TVR.

possibly although i think the cerb still has the best interior, the AJP 4.2 is the best engine, the griffith makes the best noise, the t350 or griff has it on looks, the tuscan has an edge in style and the cerb in terms of raw agression

So to sum up Bennno would like a T350 with a Cerb interior that sounded like a Griffith and had the image of a Tuscan..
