Off to pick up my first ever TVR today

[egoold]

Well this day seams to have taken an age to happen but it is finally here. After wanting a TVR from when I first heard and saw them, which must have been 20 years ago I am final on my way to pick up a T350.

I remember dragging my dad to the TVR garage in Harrogate ever year we were there on holiday, and lusting over 390 SE's and V8s. For some reason it's never been quite the right time to get one and have had various lotuses over the last 5 years.

However today I am on my way from Glasgow down to south of England to pick up a spectra flair silver T350. Will try to get photos up when I see it in the flesh at the dealership. Wish me luck

Thanks, any others things I should be checking with dealer or asking him to show me?

Thought I would post a quick update, still not picked up the T350 yet!! Am now holed up in Dorking for the night, and just having the first beer. The plan was to bring my exige down to a specialist here for sale or return, the combination of R888 tires and heavy rain made progress slow. Then got caught it horrendous traffic at Birmingham then again on M25. So plan is to hand over exige in morning then head to head to fernhurst before lunch, and then fingers crossed a leisurely and dry drive back up tomorrow.

Heh, another T350 in Glasgow, I'll keep an eye out for you. Hope it goes well for you and you won't regret it as long it has been looked after. Co-incidentally if you do get it, the West of Scotland TVR meet is tomorrow at the Malletsheugh Inn in Newton Mearns, meeting at 12.45 for a couple of hours. Enjoy!

That's a shame I am going to miss that as I would defiately stopped by to say hello. Where would I find out more about future meets?

Well I am back! A day latter than i first planned but it was worth it, after a very wet
Long drive back the car is safely parked up for the night. The car is amazing and so
Much better than expected, photos and full report tomorrow.

Okay doing all this from my iPhone so apologies about rubbish quality and also weather in Glasgow has been awful all weekend, excuses over here are some photos



My dog Sam admitting it!

I have laid away money for a full retrim hover the interior is not as bad as it looked in the photos and has cleaned up very well
