OK so here is what my Wanted ad in the classifieds managed to coax out of the woodwork.

She is a t350C, Imperial Blue Pearl with just over 5000 on the clock, September 2005.









Just picked it up yesterday from Notts and enjoyed clearing the outside lane of M1 on the way back to Cambridge biggrin

Car was orginally bought by member MaxxWaxx here on PH from new, and I picked it up from its second owner.

driving Already given it a good 'exercising' although it was a little moist on the roads today.

Big smiles all round from my side, and hope to see some of you at various gatherings.
woohoo

Mike - that looks fantastic. When I saw the first pic and read the mileage I thought you'd bought the blue sagaris engined 4.0 from Hexham (wanted that myself but couldn't afford it).
Saw your reply on the other thread - if you're about next Saturday it'd be great to have a comparison....

Congtrats Mike,

Nice to know shes back on PH, always good to see an ex! wink

My favourite car of the 5 tvrs i had, Sagaris thing had to be done but never really lived up to my expectations. I should have kept the T350 but that would have been your loss i suppose. Still cant believe he only did 800 miles in 18 months, thats a crime!

She was definitely well looked after for 1st 2 years and run in a treat.

A little story about the day i picked her up from TMS, 5 minutes into the drive home with my brand new car i noticed flames eminating from the bonnet vent, in a blind panic i quickly pulled over visions of the car ending up as a molten mess of fibre glass. popped the bonnet to see 1ft flames coming from the near side manifold, luckily i had a bottle of water which manage to douse it. The scrote who was valeting her before i picked her up left a wrag against the manifold, no damage thank god. Suffice to say he got his P45.

Happy tivving and watch those polishing cloths driving

PS - hows your lot andy ?

The state the paint work was in after the dealers attempt to valet her was shocking but several hours later the car was looking pristine .

The gtr arrives next June, had to be done with a baby on the way, wife said we needed a sensible car, all ive told her is it has rear seats and a big boot smile

She was happy with that.

If we ever move house and get a big double garage ( and if i had an extra 25k spare IF! ) i think id get another well sorted T350C to go along side my sensible family car.

Nick,

Did you ever get any trouble from the Rossers with the undersize front plate ? I am just deceiding whether to get a fullsize stick on.

I'm the lucky guy who managed to snaffle that one biggrin

By the way triac, I've got the same size of front plate - ok so far but let me know how you get on.

That is a beauty.... I have a Boxster and I can really see no upgrade other than a TVR.... a 911 just doesnt tick the right boxes! I just love your colour, definitely one of my faves!
