Classic Car Hire have a selection of vehicles available in the Midlands. They have a couple of Tuscan's, I don't think they have a T350 yet though.

Not a plug but, Penninsula (TVR dealers & Service) in Devon...do a service package over the weekend..

You drop your car off for a service, they loan you a car for the weekend.. If you called them beforehand they might also give Woody T350 test drives etc....

They also recommend accomodation in the package...

This lot will hire a T350 from £388 a day. Click on the " Driving Experiences" bit and then look at "Hiring a Car"
Hope this helps. There are loads of car related experience on here too!.

Back in 2001, Mrs Lazy bought me probably the best prezzy I've ever had.

It was a day at Snetterton driving at full pelt in a) Ferrari 355, b) Dodge Viper, c) Lotus Esprit Turbo and d) Porsche 911.

It was called the 'Supercar Experience'.

If you try www.motorsportvision.co.uk/brands-hatch/ you may get some idea of whats available. It was the same company so I'm sure they'll do similar things nowadays. There's loads of different options.

It cost about £500 for what I did then but may be cheaper now, I don't know. Have a look at the website for some ideas of similar driving experiences they offer.

These are obviously not the only company that do these events, so have a good look round.

Might be a touch more than you wanna pay but, if you want him to be your slave for a month or two, get it bought!

If it were me on the receiving end, a weekend in Devon smokin' a T350 around would be

Hell, I'd even pay towards it!

Peninsula have a great reputation on here and used to do offers during quiet periods and provide subsidised B&B for the weekend while your pet was being serviced.

thanx but during my reaserch i have found that you have to leave big deposits which is really poo but if you know anywhere which will have a reasonable deposit then plesae can you let me know im looking to hire anything up from an S3 (as this is his current car)i know he likes the Griff, T350, Cerbera and tuscan (Tuscan to hire is £300 without the deposit)

and as for the free prezzie that comes as standard

YOu can of course place the deposit on a credit card, which they will refund when the car goes back. No interest to pay, and no outlay.
