Brand new T350C

[swanny71]

After years of wanting one, months of looking at the classifieds and autotrader thinking "I wonder if?" I've finally gone and done it - put a deposit on my first TVR, a brand new, unregistered T350C.

WOOOOHOOOOO.........

I know I've probably just made the daftest financial decision of my life but fu it, you only live once dont ya!

Tungsten grey with black/grey leather. Pick her up in September.

congats, I doub't you will regret it but you may find sleeping difficult untill you pick it up and all your free time will dissapear into cleaning and fidling with it.

This was just an unregistered car sitting at one of the dealers though right?

Congrats did the same brought one a few months ago after years of should I shouldnt I. Brilliant fun and a big grin!

Is this one from HHC or Ciceley? Ciceley had a tungsten one on PH for a while...

Thanks.
Its the one from Cicely and is now at HHC.
It had been sat around lonely and unwanted for a while - not any more!

Get it picked up now, no point in waiting till then if you dont need to. The new plate will make no differnce to its used value and you will get another 4 weeks summer use!!

[FrancoTam]

Daftlad is right pick the poor lonely car up now!!!!!

[Marki]

I hope you got a really really good price on it ,, and as has been said why wait 4 weeks may as well get it now

[swanny71]

It was a good deal but not a 'fantastic' deal. Certainly not the silly "£30k maximum" figure banded about in another thread.

But I did get a substantial amount off list price.
The car goes through the workshop and anything that is found to have deteriorated due to sitting around for months gets replaced.
3 year warranty, 12 months tax etc.

The dealer is very confident about parts supply and warranty situation so I went for it. Maybe if I was prepared wait a month or two and risk losing the car I could have gotten a bit more off but I'm happy.

I'm offshore until end of August so might aswell wait for a 57 plate. Believe me I'd be driving it home now if I could!

you total nutter!

good for you.

The t350 is and always will be one of the best looking cars on the road. It's also very special to drive. I assume you've driven one? If not you're in for a real treat. Enjoy every minute in your brand new classic.

Tungsten Silver - looks a great colour especially on a T350

[swanny71]

It is going to be a very, very long month waiting to go collect her.

Tungsten silver is my favourite colour for the T350, shows off the wonderful shape perfectly.
Its got black with grey highlights leather and 'carbon' leather inserts. I wanted restrained interior colours, nothing against the blues and greens etc. just not my thing.

32 days to go........

3 year warranty

You won't get that. The 3yr warranty no longer exists so the max you will get is 12 months, which the dealer will be forking for out of their own pocket.

Sorry but the deal was done specifically to include 3 years warranty.
1st year TVR/Dealer, 2nd and 3rd years are Autoprotect.

So does that mean there is an actual TVR car company still operating?

Best move youve ever made I just got mine and its Fkin Gr8. Scares the Sh!t out of me every time I take it out. I live in a mile of a bunch of rich kids with Ferrari's and Fireblades and our local race track is a road where bentley test there cars (their test boys have been tryin but end up with egg on there face)so far NO one has been able to get past me and they kind of just slope of at the nearest roundabout to go home and cry. Great car youv'e just purchased but take care when you first giv it some bol*0Ks cus its a beast and Ive had some fast cars but not like this !
