Introducing my latest Tiv, the lovely T350T. It's finished in Red Glow pearlescent with cream and red interior, leather lower doors and ruby carpets with ruby binding. As a later model car, it has the improved targa clips, sun visors and load cover.
I've had the car for circa three months now, and although initial impressions were that it lacked the lunacy of my old Cerbera, having spent more time with it I am really beginning to appreciate its depth of talent. Although it is still a little "quaint" in places, the general fit and finish, build quality and ease of use is leagues ahead of any of my previous TVRs. What's more, it really handles... It's had some choice upgrades including Nitrons, Sagaris front brakes, Str8six's bumpsteer mod, and shortened diff to help keep the car in the power band (the 3.6 isn't as torquey as the 4.0 and needs working harder).
Immediate plans are just to keep driving and enjoying... The car has never wanted for anything and this will continue in my ownership - there are less than 70 of these precious cars left taxed so it really feels special to have this one sat in the garage.
Most photographs are courtesy of the previous owner, I didn't want the private plate as they are not my cup of tea.

Sounds like you're getting to know and trust the car a bit more now, nice one!
Hi Tref, good to hear from you. I still haven't mastered the art of fitting the targa panels well enough to stop them whistling, although you managed it so I haven't lost faith!Sounds like you're getting to know and trust the car a bit more now, nice one!
I've just realised I've covered 2000 miles since October in the T350, through the winter as well! The overall usability of the thing is just incredible compared to the likes of the Cerbera. What's more, it has been unfailingly reliable up to press (touchwood!!). Check the oil and water, check the tyre pressures, happy days!
