Well I have finally taken the plunge, and am so excited, have wanted a TVR for as long as I can remember and today put down a deposit on a late 2003 t350 in specraflair silver.

The car itself need some work to get back up to standard butas I bought it relatively cheaply it will allow me to have it done to my own spec.

Now look out for a barage of posts from me to get help to sort the car.

I will be honest I was looking for a pristine car but they all seem to be £20k plus. So when this one came up I though as long as it's a straight car I can buy it and have £4k left over to bring it up to a great standard.car is coming fully serviced and MOT'd Budgeting £2000 for full retrim, £1000 for front end respray and £600 for new suspension once this is done it should be as good as new

The mechanical issues are with the suspension, both front shocks gone. As part of the deal it is getting a full service including tappets and I will supply my choice of suspension and they will fit it and set it up. Also the ball joints ( I think) are being replaced.
