Correct. I have a Chimaera (4.6 V8) but I go to loads of TVR events and almost everyone loves their car, including the Sagaris/Tuscan/tamora/T350 models with the straight 6.
There were several hundred of us at Goodwood last week and the noise was incredible. Only one car broke down - a 1968 model with a faulty wheel!
Racing Green do a superb finger follower free mod which is even better than the original.

Then it's because your mate must be an idiot to destroy two. If you don't let them warm up (minimum 70C on the gauge) before you rev them over 3000rpm, the engine can blow up and have to be rebuilt. Respect the engine and once it's warm it will take (almost) any amount of abuse and go like hell.
Every engine failure I know of was caused by impatient drivers ragging the car when cold. Later ones are better - early ones had some cheap Indian bits which could fail.

theres fast then theres the T350

I remember once a friend of my sisters had a blue T350c, I went for a ride in it, fuck me, it assassinates your spine when it accelerates!!

@gqf22g Surely if you are 40 then
a) Insurance costs will differ from person to person depending on numerous different things
b) You know how to use a phone or the internet to find out the insurance yourself
c) if you have enough money to purchase one and run one then the £1000 plus it may take should not make a real difference to you either way....

Nice. Did you have to get the engine rebuilt after? ;-)

Did you all notice how similar the bases of this TVR and the Sagaris are? That's because the base of this TVR is used on the Sagaris.
Dude this is in leeds, U.K, next to northern snooker bar, i go all the time ha, love the tvr!!

Hey Ben, that's a wicked turn of accelleration! But tell me please, did you drive the car like that much of the time? I'm interested to know, as I've heard the engine in those cars can be fragile and prone to letting go. Also, what's your opinion on the T350? (I've just bought one and am aware of the claimed unreliability etc) Thanks for any info you can give me.

The cars are slightly unreliable but just go easy when the car is cold. The worst thing about TVR's is definately the aftersales service, the cars would be good if it wasn't such a hassle getting them fixed. Enjoy your new car.

I bought a black T350C last month. Love it to bits but already cost me two grand. Found out that all 4 spiders are buckled! Wheels look awesome but they are crap!

I dont think T350's are crap, how did the wheels get buckled? is it not under warranty. What did you spend 2 grand on. They are really sought after now the T350's so you will get a good price in the future. Have you done any vids?
