ive been having a good look at the tvr models, ive come to a conclusion ,i don`t think the t350 is just the best looking tvr but the nicest car ive ever seen .the problem is i like soft tops so my next option would be the tamora .the rear end looks fine but the front is a little girly ,and seems to smile at you . why did they not just make the tamora with a t350 front end and that would be the most perfect car .!

For sheer TVR-ness, the Sagaris, In terms of actual beauty I'd have to say the Griffith.

Whatever you own is the best looking car - we are all biased wink

You're right there! Griffith is beautiful, but dated now. Cerb a bit ... '90's? Sagaris is a T350 on steroids ... too many (inexplicable) bumps and lumps hehe.

I disagree. I own a Tamora and love the colour (pearl yellow) and I think the car is awesome but looks like a smiley hairdressers car from the front and like a hippos arse from the rear.

I think the best looking TVR is the T350.
If only they made a drop-top T350...

S1mon.

I still love the looks of the Cerbera, but find the T350 easier to live with day to day

The Griffiths is by far, although when I see any TVR on the road it sends my pulses racing. They are all amazing looking cars from past to present...

I really like the overall shape of the T350 but for the front end - with a smoothed over Sagaris front it'd be perfect IMO. As for softtops, the Chimaera and Tuscan Convertible - two variations of the same voluptuous theme really - still rock my boat.

[edited to say I agree with the former poster - especially from the Griff onwards every TVR I've seen is just achingly desirable in its own way]

I firmly beleive that when all TVR`s are "classics" that it will be the Griffith that is considered the most beautiful. The more modern cars are more specatcular but will age less gracefully.

An original 3000S or a 200 series car from the 60s. Both of which look good from all angles. I'm afraid the Modern Griffiths can't say that with odd shaped nose and cut off rear.

Opinion only but then I've never quite "got" the later Griffiths.

Best looking modern TVR would have to be a T350c.

I was a sagaris owner and now have a tuscan 2. I love the way they both look. But I think the Mk1 tuscan pips the Mk2 on looks.... but only just. The Cerb also deserves a mention as possibly the coolest TVR ever and the Tam in real life is way better than any pictures.

The Saggy roadcar never quite matched the appeal of the prototype for me. I could never quite get past the blocked in vents. Had mine looked exactly like the prototype I'd have given it the prize to the Sagaris.

However it didn't so I'm giving it to the T350. Just stunning and completely unique, even among TVRs.

Always been a dream of mine (given enough time working with fiberglass in a few years) to convert it back into the original prototype. Definately looked nicer in its original form and the closed vent's were a real pity.

Front end of a sag, rear end of t350 to same width of sag rear, full cage and a Targa roof aka T350T - now that would be some car! Oh in Formula red or Arancio Atlas.
