I was just reading through the TVR section conjuring up memories of my own T350 ownership and find the exact one i used to own!!
Hope you have been taking care of it
Do you mind me asking how long you have had it?
hi I bought it end of march this year , not been out much due to work and bloody weather but Iam very pleased with it , Ihave been a tvr owner for around 9 years or so having had two griffs , how long did you have the t350 ?Hope you have been taking care of it

It was my first and only (so far) TVR. I bought it in July 07 at around 19k miles and sold it in March 10 at around 24k miles.
As with any TVR though it had its quirks like the speedo odometer didn't always work until it was well warmed up, around 10 mins so has done slightly more.
I sold it to James Agger in March 10 because as a second car i didn't use it as much as it deserved to be.
It was re-mapped by the only previous owner before i had it to around 380bhp and i passed the diagnostics showing this on to James, hopefully they have stayed with the car.
It was serviced at Guglielmi in Daventry who has had very good reviews and i was always very impressed with his work (check out the northants thread for more details). I was very sad to get rid of it but couldm't justify keeping it for the couple of days a month i used it.
When i sold it, it was still on original cluthch engine etc with no major work done to it.
It broke down 2 weeks after i got it on the way back from driving a fellow Pher to his wedding (along with around 15 other TVRs) It was only an altenator though and quickly fixed. Other than that though it has run perfectly

Hi thanks for that info , sorry just answering just got back from a week hols , so as far as you know it should still be at 380 bhp , James didn't mention that one to me I'll check paper work if you say there is info on remap . Thanks again matey
Yes, there was a graph printout which showed it to be about 376bhp i think. I can't remember the name of the place that did it but it was a very reputable TVR firm near cambridge.No problem
Damn! There's another one?! 
I also have a Red Bull Blue T350C. Funnily enough, it's the thing I like least about the car & almost put me off buying it. I'd seen so many tatty examples & total bow-wows while I was looking to buy, but this one was perfect in every other way, I still want to change the colour, but everyone keeps telling me not to.
Don't get me wrong, it looks looovely, but it's just so..... Blue.

Hello mate, apologies, I've only just spotted this. I'm afraid I have no idea what the colour code is, or who makes it. Due to the nature of the reflective metallic flake in the paint, I would imagine that it would be difficult to achieve any kind of satisfactory result with a touch up though... I suppose it depends on how big, or what sort of damage it is, that you're trying to touch up. clearer on what to ask for , is it a ford colour do you know .

Hi,
I put the following search into Google - "Red Bull Blue Paint Code" and came up with several PistonHead threads several of which brought this result

Hope that helps.
