I am from Austria and i love my T350C. It´s such a spectacular car to drive. The JP exhaust unleashes the whole sound with pops and bangs without being to loud or drone. With Nitron shocks, the right alignment and a semi slick this car drives like a gokart especially with it´s direct steering. Seat position is just perfect. The next thing is, that people have a lot of sympathy for the car. Everytime i go for a wash or i refuel the car, people come to me, asking what kind of car this actually is and they all love it, when i show them all the freaky details. Children wave at you, when you pass by because the car is so small, it almost looks like a toy. That´s a thing that will never ever happen to you in a Porsche, Lamborghini or Ferrari. The car needs a lot of love and maintainance, but part supply is really, really good. You have to know, what you are doing, but it pays back big. It makes you smile every time you go out for a drive. It´s so satisfying and it really can turn a bad into a good day.

no, as all T350Cs that left Blackpool it is RHD. I know there are some conversions out there, but i´m happy with it. I installed a little camera under the left headlight, so at least i can see a bit what´s going on. Not enough to overtake on a mountain road, but fine to pass parking vehicles for example.@@Mattia.1973

Owned one for 3 years. 50k miles. Daily driver. Cracked radiator was it's only issue. My favourite car I have ever owned. I came from Cerbera ownership which was very expensive/unreliable. Thanks for making this video! A few issues I had related to trying to put fuel in....u need to be very slow. Steering rack is very quick. Service intervals were frequent and u need to keep an eye on oil and no ABS so in winter could be a handful. Floor mounted pedals means to engage the clutch u need flexible ankles. Beautiful details but the glove compartment was a joke. Reliability of the Speed six was an issue and I'm not sure how many cars did big miles like mine (bought mine in 2007). It's a timeless classic and I'd always wish I kept it...for me miles 20k per year meant I was always concerned about engine needing a rebuild.

@bernardmclake3898
@bernardmclake3898 9 ай бұрын
​@eric-wb7gj, it's not tied into the chassis the way a safety cage would be. It is more a means of supporting structure to the glassfibre roof section. The rear stays of the main hoop, for instance, have welded-on end plates, that are bonded onto the rear wheel arches, that themselves are glassfibre. The legs down the a-pillar follow the door cut-out in what is effectively a 90° angle to then angle down again to attach to the outrigger. In case of a roll-over much of that will just collapse but will leave you more survival space than without it or than a Tamora (or any tvr roadster for that matter).

I remember seeing a few Granturas (probably with the BMC drivetrain) run in SCCA club-racing events in the States in the later 60's and always thought they were cool (and fast in their class). In the world-before-the-Internet, I followed the successive iterations via the British motoring press and have a stack of mildewing Car and Top Gears mouldering away somewhere in consequence. Always hoped to see one on the road someplace, but as the wilder variants were never seriously imported to the US (as far as I'm aware), never had the pleasure. This was a wonderful way to spend ten minutes on-line! Thank you!

Loved your review, the confusion of 2000s TVRs is a little less confusing when put in order (Sagaris and Typhon are developments of this as Tuscan) Cerebral is elongated Chimaera with new engines. All the chassis can clearly be seen to share the same starting point. This I think is the perfect TVR. Fast and lairy enough, pretty, roll cage giving much needed chassis rigidity. Way cheaper than a Sagaris.

That engine sounds amazing, years ago I had a friend's Griffith 500 stashed in my garage, he did say that if I took it out to be careful. In the many months I had it I did not take it out at all, though I did give the engine a 15 minute run, probably the wisest thing I have ever done. Fierce on track days, though we did scare ourselves with extreme brake fade. We did have a Chimaera in the family... it did amuse me that the Griffith 500 was too noisy to be used on many tracks despite the stock exhaust.. unusual to have to add slip-on silencers to a road car.

Regarding the early-00s lineup, my understanding has always been that the T350C (coupe) and T (targa) were the modern, entry level sports cars, with the Tamora essentially the same thing but in a roadster body (I've never been quite sure why it wasn't part of a T350 trio explicitly). The Sagaris was the hardcore variant of the T350. The Tuscan sat above the T350s/Tamora/Sagaris in size, and the Cerbera was the 2+2 option, and as the biggest car in the lineup was also available with the V8. The Typhon was part of a sort of "super-Tuscan" family also including the less powerful T400 that never went into production. I think only one was ever built, although several went racing. I've never been sure why TVR picked alphanumerics for some models and names for others, even different variants of the same model 🤔
@Insanitypants80
@Insanitypants80 9 ай бұрын
Yes, that's my understanding too. Although it was never really clear exactly where the Tuscan fit in. Also, I believe that at least two Typhons were built, possibly 3. I think there is only one T440R though and it's currently owned by TVR101, who are one of the leading independent TVR mechanics in the country.

Excellent I've ALWAYS wanted a TVR! Mate of mine bought a Chimera i think (the convertible rounded light 4/5litre one on a R plate) about 20years ago and he said it was phenomenal! When he bought it, they were already my dream car, so very envious, although I think it gave him headaches for reliability from day 1! - So I bought a new MX5 MK2.5 fully loaded with hard top instead in 2004 (Still lively despite being 1/4 the power) loveky car, damn sight more reliable and better on petrol lol 😂👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I love the bonkers design philosophy of TVR. It's such a shame they didn't have managers that could direct the crazy engineers and designers in a way to make the company work. If only they could find a low cost MX5 competitor, a mid range Z competitor, and a higher rage M competitor that they continued to develop and improve, I think they may have been still a big name today. Unfortunately, they seemed to go crazy with new cars like every year that just have cost a fortune in development for a low turn over.

I wasn't aware of this model -- it's very striking. The Speed Six engine note is amazing (as is the sound of the Cerbera Red Rose V8). They sound almost as good as the mid-50's BRM V16 Formula One racer!
