Hi

Need your advice! Thinking very carfully about trading the M3 in for either a T350, Cerbera or Tuscan. Go the test drives booked for wednesday but was wondering what your thoughts are on which is best to go for - will be used most days and I am prepared for the odd niggle.

Any advice or comments most welcome.

Thanks for now....

Well, I started with a Chim, then a Griff, and have always lusted after a Cerbera - but the roof doesn't come off, so went the Tuscan route instead.

Bought a 2001 Tuscan, did 30,000 miles in it in 2 years, had an engine rebuild, various niggles - and a permanent on my face! Next I bought a Tuscan S (2003), which is just soooo much better than the 2001 car.

All was well in my 'TVR world' until I had a test drive in a T350 - wow, what a drive! Currently waiting delivery of a T350T.

To sum up, they're ALL fantastic cars - it's a tough personal choice!

Big Al...

exactly the same dilemma as yours I believe, that is, which one to go for?

Although he's been indecisive for months I think Big Al has now reached the same conclusion as me...

Tuscan OH He refuses to have it in black tho'

I can't wait!!

You called!

2003 Nebula Blue!

Driven a couple of Tuscans S's AWESOME!

Not driven a T350 YET! Sat in a few.
I just can't get on with the interior of a T350, TVR IMHO have just missed it on the interior design stakes.

I mean that inverted diving mask speedo and that stupid glove box!

If only it the interior looked like a Tuscan.

Leave the glovebox alone its an experimental airbag deployment module thats meant to spring open everytime you jolt the car

Whats all this glovebox lid stuff about? I always thought that a Tiv ain't a TVR unless that lid popped open when it likes. My 350i, 400se, 450 SEAC and my current TIV 4.3 Griff all did that Sir.

Precisely, but do they have to?

Think Cerb' int' beats them all.

Possibly the most timeless interior ever designed... Except for the one or two bits of black plastic (which should immediately be replaced with chrome).
