Red T350c DG53FMC

[Rooty]

Hi all,

Does anybody know this car?

I have just bought the car and am trying to trace the previous owner to see if they have any history on it. Not sure why it has no documentation with it but am hoping who had it will be able to help. Obviously I will recompense the owner if they can provide the history.

It has SP12's, is red, and has a red and cream interior.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks, James

Evening! Have you moved? Haven't heard you come past for ages.

Oh and can't help on the T350 front, only that it's good to hear you've bought another!

Hi Dave,

Yes I've moved, expansion plans for the business have meant that I need to be nearer home, so I've moved back to Liverpool.

Sold the Tuscan back in May and replaced it with a Griff 500 and bought the T350 yesterday- picked it up at BCA auctions but they had no paperwork with it. I can tell it's been looked after and following a few phone calls it turns out the service history is pretty good, just have to trace the file/service book now....

How are you doing? Chim still going strong?

Cheers, James

Hi James,

Ian.

Hi Ian,

Would love to go for a spin/beer, drop me a PM.

Cheers,

Hi,

I have managed to track the history of the car to the Cheshire area, seems as though it has a good past and has been well looked after. Supplied by Christopher Neill and fettled by them since new.

Sorry for the shameless bump, but can anyone help with tracking down the owner? I'd love to have the book/receipts, and to find out fi it still has a valid MOT on it....

Thanks,

James

You can check the mot status on the dvla website

Guys,

Thanks for posting these links- unfortunately i have no V5C or green slip with the car either so can't readily check online.... Have applied for a new one using the V62 form. I'm led to believe that with it being dealt with by a finance company they have just destroyed the V5.

Here is a picture of the car to see if it jogs any memories....



And- took the door card off yesterday to re-fix back into place and saw this on the fibreglass underneath- makers mark?

There's a name I haven't heard in a while. I lived there as a student in the late 80's.

I can even still pronounce it properly.

Did a HPI check throw anything up? You are a braver man than me if you bought without any documents, even from a reputable auction house!
Or you got a bargain.

Hpi check didn't throw anything up- one previous owner, no plate changes, not on the register, etc etc. All clean.

Took a bit of a punt i suppose but the car looked as though it had been looked after, and was a typical PH'ers car, which is why i thought i might find the chap/lady on here. Mods include SP12 wheels, some kind of sports exhaust, carbon airbox, anderson connector modification, interior re-trim- it's had plenty of money spent on it over the years.

[slimtater]

And it looks nice in a fairly rare(?) colour as well!
Have you posted on the TVRCC forum as well? That may be more beneficial.

At last , a pic !

Search over.... Managed to find the owner of the car and all the paperwork- what a thoroughly nice chap, interesting and obliging, was a real pleasure chatting to him about the car and what it's been through.

After 6 years of TVR ownership and 5 TVR's, i have to say that the community surrounding the marque is the most helpful i've ever come across. Long may it continue....
