I love the look of the T350c, it has to be the best looking TVR ever made! I haven't heard any horror stories about the T350 yet, but there are plenty of jaw dropping tales concerning the Tuscan.
I think when you make the switch to TVR you have to be dedicated and very patient. More importantly, it has to be a second car... If I had that sort of disposable cash to drop on a car, would probably take a look at the M3 coupe. A nice problem to have I guess

Now that I have bought a "beater" for use when I feel like it...the S is a second car so I would now consider a move to a car that is less designed for everyday use.
TVR Tuscan S would do nicely now...so I'm gonna test drive some as there is a shiny new TVR dealer at Gatwick

Initial thought is that it wouldn't satify Crash's second criterion - ie as much fun as the S. My first impression is that it is much more of a GT. Also, even fully specced, it's way under budget.

Rich seemed to be having fun racing me in his, on the way to a toilet stop on the way to Le Mans, but granted for that money you could have more fun..
I'd take the 350z and spend the rest having fun on a tropical island somewhere I reckon.

I sold my S a few months ago on the board (owned for 2 and half years). Now have a T350c on order - bring on September!
Have you driven one?
My choices were T350c vs M3, which in the end was a straight lifestyle choice! I test drove both and to be fair loved both for what they did - albeit in a completely different way. In the end i didn't want to get "bored" with the M3 which seemed could quite easily happen - the interiors never seem too inspired either. I have all the usual worries about the T350c but you either deal with that or you don't.
The power and rawness of the T350 was mind-blowing BTW......i can't wait.
