Hi guy's i'm new here so please be gentle.

I've always loved tvr's and i can't much longer, i've decided to buy myself a t350 for the summer. Thought i'd wait till April time before i start really looking but just watching the classified's on here there doesn't seem to be too many for sale. I've enquired about one or two but they seem to be sold but still being advertised.
Are there usually more come on the market in the spring time or do i have to sit and wait for the right one to appear?

Thanks in advance

There will be more around over the coming months, I'm sure. I would think come April/May you'll see around 20-25 for sale on here, so sit tight. In the meantime, keep doing your homework and reading up on PH so you know what to look for when the time comes. smile

Just looking on Autotrader and there is a nice looking 04 plate dark green T350C for sale. It is a lovely colour called Black/Green - a Mercedes colour so not expensive paint costs. Its not a reflex colour, but still looks lovely.

54,000 miles with a new cluth and history. £16.995. Looks like a bargain to me, esp with a bit of negotiating. Just get it inspected by someone who knows TVRs.

Disclaimer: I don't know the car, the owner, or its history. But I would certainly be investigating further if I were looking for a late model Coupe.

Looks very much like reflex charcoal to me and is described as a chameleon paint so is quite expensive but does look very good.

It does look like reflex, but it is a Mercedes colour and not expensive, which is why I mentioned it - I know someone who had an SLK in this colour.

Looking at the photos it has a colour change of black/green/purple as per reflex charchoal so how do mercedes manage that without the associated hike in cost.

It isn't as funky as TVR's reflex paint, it is more a deep green that looks black in certain light.

Thanks for the replys, the tvr guys really do seem to be a helpful and freindly lotsmile

I have had a look at the one on auto trader but the mileage had me hesitating to tell you the truth think i'll wait for a month or two and see if a bigger selection comes up on here. But saying that i really like the look of the yellow one in the classifieds at driven images, I'm going to do some more reserch before i buy though.

I'd like to ask a question if its not too silly, I went to see a T350 that was advertisied as a red rose but there was no badgeing on the car to say it was and there was no mention of it on any of the paper work, the car was a bit untidy and i walked away, so how do you tell if its a proper red rose?

Having owned a reflex charcoal tuscan for 3 years I cant really see the difference in the pictures so on that basis great colour without the silly nose cone respray costs if you make good use of the car.
Hell of a lot of car for the money and I know photos can be deceiving but it looks to be in good condition.
