Congratulations... 
I know the feeling, and it does get better. The running in was painless but just make sure you resist temptation for the first 2000 miles - even if there is an M3 or 911 in the rear view mirror!
I agree about anthracite spiders, they should be compulsory. The extra agression suits the car to a T.
Enjoy every minute, as DJC pointed out cars like this with the liberty to enjoy them, at least on public roads is not going to be around forever.

Smirnoff, how'd you swing the original seats? I was told no dice - Tuscan seats only now. I ordered mine way back at the end of April, so was a little bit upset at the change of spec.
Due over here in the next week or two now I expect - went onto final production line on Sept 5th (fingers crossed)
Reflex Charcoal, anthracites, and black & Ocean Green interior, and oh yes, Tuscan seats.

Ahh well, we ordered 2, mine and my business partners back in June from TVR London, so basically from the factory as you can't get one direct anymore.
The threat of pulling 2 orders if we got tuscan seats worked very well!
His is RC, black and ocean green interior, but he has gone for normal alloy spiders, silly man, he'll be changing that when he sees mine!
they are the standard 350 seats but TVR in their wisdom have decided to fit Tuscan seats across the whole range from now on. They give little support and are prone to snapping at the base of the side support which is held in place by a very thin piece of steel.

The original Sagaris seats are slightly different to the T350/Tamora. The colour flashes that you can spec around the top were shorter - just on each shoulder rather than all the way round the top, but more importantly there were more accentuated shoulder height bolsters on the original Sagaris seats. I have a couple of pics showing the difference if someone would like to post it on my belhalf.
I remembered my Tuscan not giving great support so was very keen to have the old Sagaris seats, but when I went back to the dealer I sat in one of the latest Sagaris' with Tuscan seats and it wasn't too bad. I didn't threaten to retract my order - especially since I've been waiting for sooo long.
Now if the exhausts were being changed to rear facing, then that would be one step too far - though Racing Green have already had a go at that. Very demonic, but I think I'll stick to standard.
