2005 TVR T350C

My first ever TVR experience was in a friends T350C and what a day out that was! The noise, acceleration, handling and finesse of these cars was far ahead of anything I could have ever expected. A track day at Goodwood was the venue, but by the time I got there I already really got the TVR thing, it just so happened that it inadvertently ended up becoming most of my life, so these spectacular cars have a lot to answer for! They’re so good, a ride in a good one will almost certainly change all of the doubts and misconceptions into pure joy and wonder as to why you hadn’t tried one before.

 

The beautiful Imperial blue paintwork really pops in the sunlight, matched with a very classy interior, given almost every conceivable upgrade, this is one mega T350C which has been given the level of care we’d expect to see on a race car and it does show on the road. The car starts and idles beautifully, with a purposeful crack from the Performance sports exhaust, it sounds wonderful. It is a joy to drive and as ever with the 3.6’s it is so willing to go and rev, no shortage of torque to be found either, but stir the box a bit and you have a seriously fast machine.

 

The fun doesn’t stop there either, they’re excellent long-legged cruisers, with so little weight to move, they eat up the miles with ease and provide a decent MPG figure to boot. Talking of boots, you have a cavernous luggage area, an airy a sizeable cabin and even the door pockets and handles can fit water bottles in them. A truly great all-rounder. When you start to push on though, that’s when the T350 comes alive. With the factory standard items of a roll-cage, AP brakes, full alloy pedal box and Sagaris big brakes, it really does go and stop like a supercar!

 

It's time to get behind the wheel of one, before they all migrate to the USA once the 25-year rule happens. A solid investment for a genuinely rare, special and useable British sports car, there really isn’t anything to dislike. Fully prepped by our workshop to exacting standards, this is one not to be missed!

Some cars get looked after; some are loved and treated like a member of the family & this one is from the latter category. With a gigantic history file for a car with so few miles, it just shows how much care has been lavished on it. There are some upgrades we’ve never seen on any other TVR on this particular T350C, so it really is in the 21st century! Not only has it had plenty of nice upgrades, it has a documented history from new, with even a diary showing all of the details to back up the invoices and stamps in the book. A list of the upgrades is below:

• Factory AC
• Reverse camera
• Upgraded Hydratrack Differential
• Live ECU display under the dash
• ACT carbon fibre airbox
• Momo steering wheel
• Sagaris steering arms
• Re-trimmed interior

 

Supplied with the book pack and the red key code card, every box has already been ticked, you really can’t fault it!

 

The car comes fresh from our workshop having had a rebuilt steering rack, a full 12k service to include valve clearances. It has been machine polished and is ready to be enjoyed by the new owner right away. As the saying goes, try to find a better one!
