Whilst speaking to a "Top Man" from TVR over the weekend at Silverstone I managed to extract the following information that might be of some interest and may put a few disagreements to bed.

1. T350T is on it’s way. The first one came out of the mould late last week. They have not driven one yet and don’t know if there will be a major buffeting problem or even in the panels will work properly. At this point in time there are no customer cars in build.


2. There will be two long removable panels with a central T- bar running down the middle of the car. The roll bars will stay in place above the doors. The two sections will then stow in the rear either in the boot or behind the seats.

3. The Tamora will not be scrapped or changed. Nor will the front or the rear of the 350 be grafted on. The Tamora is the convertible the 350 is the coupe and that’s the way it will stay. They are happy with the way the Tamora is selling. There are no plans to build a convertible 350 and the shape the body would not allow this anyway.

This is only what I was told, as we all know with TVR things can and normally do change from day to day.

Great Weekend at Silverstone with a brilliant result for the GT boys, well done TVR !!

But like I said, "The first one has only just come out of the mould" They have not even road tested a 350T yet. If there is one at the factory it can olny be a 350C that has been chopped about. I'm not saying it does not exist all I was saying is that the "real thing" has yet to be built and tested and there are real concerns about bufferting as has been mentioned on here before. I for one hope that do get the T up and running.............

My gut feeling (and I’ve not had this from the factory) is that it will be the “WOW factor” at this years motor show and will not be out before then.
But like I say that’s just IMHO…………………………
