Does someone know a part of the history of the red T350C, which I am considering to buy?

She was the TMS demo car for the first 6 months, after which she moved to the Leeds area. The period between beginning of 2006 and today is unclear.

There seems to be a factory engine upgrade to 380 hp, but how can I recognise that?

Does a chassis number/ VIN register exist to verify other things?

Lots of questions perhaps, but answers would help me a lot in the process.

Just my opinion but unless it is extremely cheap with a major warranty i would walk away, there are other T350's for sale...if i was looking to buy a T350 i would be looking for a comprehensive history file with services carried out annually based on either mileage or time.It doesn't prove the owner always warmed the car up properly etc i know, but its an indication it was cared for.

Not Hobo's old 350 is it?

He was in the Leeds area and sold it in 2005 (when I was looking to buy).

IIRC that was the car that was auctioned in a raffle about a year ago.

Usual disclaimers apply etc.

(Which means I could be talking out of my zorst).

the nickname comes close to the real name of the owner...... I tried to contact him, but I was unsuccesfull in my attempts.

Today I found out that the car did some 22.000 miles untill end of December 2005, after which is was sold by (probably) hobo. It got MOT untill Sept 2007.

Last 2 years it as done a mere 1500 miles. What do you mean with the last phrase? I am not from your country.

It means that I may be wrong.

Actually I thimk I'm right.

That was Mark *******'s car (may not want his name all over the internet).

Do a search for Hobo - last post would have been around a year or 2 ago.

The car was auctioned by an Audi dealer - I'd be concerned as to where it has been in the last couple of years.
