New Owner questions

Does anyone use additional mats for their t350 or do most people just use the carpets from the factory and replace when worn? (I suspect they won’t last long so does anyone know how much they cost to replace?)

Also having only just got the car I am paranoid about warming it up. However as soon as my oil temp starts to rise so do my revs and my speed. The faster I go the lower my oil temperature seems to go (I assume from the cooling affect from the wind). Yesterday I had been out for 50 mins before I even reached 70. Is this right?

Hi there

In my experience the temperature you mention is correct. Enjoy the car!

Yes use additional mats.
To get the Oil Temp up to 70 deg C on open roads at this time of year could well take this long.

OK - temperature thing going to be a pain. Thanks for feedback.

Regarding the mats does anyone one have any details for some nice custom fit jobbies ?

just type tvr mats into your search engine, there is a choice. peter
