[QUOTE=AlexC,Jul 15 2004, 03:39 PM] If you want a tin top, then you may as well get the T350 over the Tam, the looks are more striking I won't argue - but I still like the look of the Tam.

I considered M3 convertible as well, but just can't bring myself to become a BMW owner, and the TVR has more power in a much lighter car, so has got to be more of a hoot!

It would be nice if TVR had ABS, the odd airbag or two, and maybe if some large company takes them over, these things will come, and someone like Audi can do what they have done to Lambo.

We'd just have received a hearty slap on the back instead.

[QUOTE=crash,Jul 15 2004, 10:31 AM] Having owned my S2K for almost 2 years now, I feel the time has come for a change. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time deciding what to go on to.

My initial thoughts are a T350C. However, I am being put off by the 'challenges' which come with TVR ownership, namely high depreciation, running costs, reliability and lack of ABS. Also, I don't know if I can be arsed sorting out all the 'niggles' which seem to come about on a regular basis.

Has anyone considered swapping their S2K for a Trevor (Tamora/T350C?) and would care to share their thoughts?

My other options would be tuning the S2K either NA or supercharged but then I would have the same concerns e.g. reliability and running costs. Also, I think that I might as well get something that was designed to run with 350bhp from the outset.

What other cars would people consider upgrading to for ~

How you finding PHs? not enough activity on the foum for my liking!
Wildfire red Tamora from Dream Machines, 2 yr old, 8,000 miles, 18" anodised wheels, a/c, armour fend, black/red leather interior - sweet car

Agree about PH, it is a bit tame.
