I am now officially over-excited: bounce just put my deposit down on

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1874213.htm

Sold my Cerb 18 months ago and have had a worsening itch ever since, and have gradually got more and more interested in the 350, culminating in a visit to Str8 Six this morning. Can't wait to pick up later in the week, going straight on a week through Champagne and Eastern Germany to get the hang of her! biglaugh

I saw that one up at Str8Six when I collected mine, it looks to be in very good condition compared to much of the dross out there. Rear spoiler subject to personal taste of course (I don't like it at all, plus it slows you down driving ).

Sorry about that! tongue out

I was beaten to the punch on the last couple I wanted to see, so when this one popped up I thought I'd best act fast.

It seems (to my eye) that the demand for T350s is increasing, which accentuates the slow but inevitable drop-off in numbers coming up for sale, and I don't believe that well looked-after examples will depreciate much, if at all, from here. Same for Sags, not sure about the relatively more plentiful Cerbs, Chims etc. Jason at Str8 Six shares the view, reckons he could sell each Sag or T350 that comes though the door several times over. I don't think even the rosiest-lensed TVR fan would claim that these cars could be regarded as an investment (with the possible exception of the later exotica: Typhons and T440s and Speed 12s and so on) but I'm fairly confident I'll not be looking at T350s going for ten grand in a few years.

Good luck finding the one you want though, sure it'll come up soon.

Very, Very nice my friend. Jason and the team are in my opinion the UK'S No.1 TVR boys. They should look after the car for you with no problems at all.

Love the car, interior is super special, but please loose the spoiler, Chavvy.

Enjoy the car!

Lovely! biggrin

Still getting the hang of her, and treating the throttle pedal with a lot of respect, but enjoying the experience immensely. Just about to take a run into Oxford, on a very slight pretext! I have been caught out by the fuel filler a couple of times, nearly soaking my shoes once, but otherwise all good. While I'm on, how do you zero the trip odometer?

Gotcha!

Thanks, figured it out now. The computer and the displays take some getting used to, I like the information it gives you but it can take some time to figure out what you're looking at sometimes.

Had a glorious run this afternoon, including an overtake past two lorries, a caravan and a tractor that began at 4000 revs in second and ended at 7000 in 3rd. How is it possible to prevent breaking into a maniacal cackle in those circumstances? I don't have that kind of willpower.

Compared to my old Cerb, this thing is a revelation, feels so much more planted and responsive. I am in love.
