Honestly - I haven't had mine round a track yet first time will be Zolder in a few weeks. I have been round in Flashers so my comment somes from 4000miles of road driving in mine and a few track laps as a passenger in Flashers.

I have owned and track driven both a Chimaera 4.0l and a 4.0l Tuscan. The T350 is sooo much more sorted. The balance is excellant the brake bias has been moved forward a little the back end isn't anywhere near as soft and prone to climb over itself. I haven't seen the T350 up against a Lotus Elise but considering I could easily keep up with one at anglesey in a Chimaera the T350 should be quicker.

Wait for the magizine reports Autoexpress starts them off this week on Wed with Evo following suit. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I is a good road car more than a track car, therefore if it were being used solely for track the suspension could do with being harder.

Anyway bit of a ramble but overall a fantastic car.

Agreed, taken mine round bedford autodrome and then spent a day getting some coaching from Rob Barff up at Donnington and on both occassions the car was great fun and very fast.

Overall I am happy with the build quality of mine, think thats really down to Mole Valley whom have been great in sorting out the niggles. I expected a few problems and factored that expectation in when buying a brand new a low volume, hand built car.

If you dont want the niggles then no TVR would be for you. They always need a bit of TLC and normally get gradually better over time with a bit of fettling.

I had an Elise before and its not as sharp but has three times the power!!!!! No choice.

Good choice hughesie...moonraker black a1 choice

I dont know whats more encouraging bennno, the fact that you are happy with its build or the amount of time you have owned it! Been over a month or two now hasnt it??

Scary stuff.

Incedentally my dad test drove one recently and is quite seriously considering it as a replacement to the Cerbera in a few years. That is, if we dont replace it with a Cerb Red Rose Nothing else he has tried recently has come close, including a rather expensive top of the range Jag XKR Silverstone (the press car - Draw your own conclusions, but it was still slower than the Cerb)
