My T350c (hopefully)

NEED V6!
You see the 240r cup exige behind, that could be my baby in around 3-4month's if all goes to plan.
NEED V6!
quality car how much 20k or something.
Is it a category D? I've been in a Tamora which is basically the same thing, it had a sports exhaust. Very good. The aural sensation is out of this world.
Just be very very careful. And times that by 10 in the wet.
I don't know how much driven experience you have but I would suggest a driving course at an airfield.
Fair play to you for having that at 20. I'm hoping to get something pretty decent once I manage to buy a few houses.

No it's not a Cat D.
To be honest I'm not that worried about the power, because I know my limits & I’m not a dangerous driver. My biggest concern is reliability as I need a car 24/7, but we'll take a gamble and see how it goes.
I'm gonna go to a few of those "know your limits day" and see what the tvr can actually do. I've calmed down a lot since the cup, as the cars I'm driving now are very expensive & very fast, so death is always a certainty if I crash.

To be honest i dont need a P reg Airfix model to pull a girl, but each to their own.
But anway Subway, hope it all goes well dude, Fair play to yo working your arse off to pay for it, how old are you 20?
Cool car Subway, look forward to seeing pics and hearing your comments on it 
I have been thinking of getting one when I finally get bored of the V6, although with me being alot older than you, it takes me a lot longer to make up my mind, lol...plus I still love the Vee after 3
years of ownership.
TVR 350's are awesome cars, 0-100 5s faster than the vee, nice
although I do hear alot about engine problems, rebuilds and breakdown and so on, and huge servicing bills?
Have fun mate, I'm SURE you will.....lol

A new meaning to daddys boy!!! f**k me........
Cheers all for the comments.
Insurance shouldn't be a major problem, due to my Boss putting me on his fleet insurance (20+ cars) so I'd imagine it would be around the 1-2k mark.
SimonV6 - I'm going to miss the v6, but I'm in serious need of some more power and I didn't fancy chucking a few bob on the vee to get to where I wanted it to be.
As for reliability, the new tvr's (05+) were made to be much stronger and had a real good doing over to make sure nothing vital goes wrong with them. The owner of the garage said you may get the odd window refusing to go down but the engine & main parts are very unlikely to falter. In cold weather got to leave it for a good 15-20mins to warm up (no cold start) but apart from that he said once it’s fully warmed up you can do what you want. Can’t wait for the summer, going to be some serious miles to put on it!
Servicing is every 6k miles, cost £450-900 (twice a year for me then)
Comes with warranty, need to find out what exactly that will cover. Didn’t realise though the tvr has only 5 forward gears!
I'll hopefully be taking it on track at FCS, just got to wait for someone to drop out

lol, few pointers for you...
1) take a look at your clio, f**k me i bet that has more plastic in it then my tvr!
2) use it to pull birds, my mrs has never even been out in yet! and never even knew i had it till 2 months down the line
3) a P reg yes it is, but with a tvr you go on the mechanicals rather than the age, i know of 03 cerbs that are fucked - also the "P reg" is worth so much more than you clio (and yes i did read the thread where you spent so much on it... wish it was mine..... if i was stevie wonder....
4) did i forget to mention also that it is running on custom made, race prep'd and corner weighted nitrons? has racing high lift cams, racing exhaust, gas flowed head, new moded tuscan racer diff and tuscan racer drive shafts, Emerald ECU with custom map....
5) oh yeah did i also forget to mention that it will do 0-60 in 3.9, 0-100 in 8.9? and over 170?
6) and finally, just like subway i did not get this car bought for me, i worked my ass of it for it 21. As much as every jealous person thinks it was....
but again i still wish i had your clio at 21 instead, one day one day....
I cover about 30 miles Monday - Friday. I rarely have time to drive during the week to drive as it's an early start & a late end, by the time I get off the train I'm tired and just want to go to bed.
Weekends I'll cover 0-200miles depending on whats going on.
ivegota16v - Well said, I've been wanting to scream that out load for a long time now.

I think the body parts were actually from RCC Racing (Ray Charles Collection)...
No more clio's for me!
When he's older he will look forward to paying off all the debt he's aquired.
to true mate!!
we shall have to take them both out for run!
there are lots of tvr event like thunder in london, track days at silverstone etc etc
we did a lemans trip last year which was tops, me in the cerb, my bro in his tuscan and a mate in an z3 m coupe!
fun fun fun!
also if you need to know where to get parts, servicing at under a 1k for the 12kmiler i can recommend some very very good places, its a bit of trek for you but there very good and half main dealer prices!!! but you cant beat Fernhurst in surrey for the quality work, but you do pay for it!
one other thing is be very carefull of the spiders, mine werent on in my pics due to getting refurbed, then buckle very easily and are super rare at the minute!!
oh, and the exhaust you want to get is a JP racing one, sounds ammmmmmmmmmazzzinngggg
bubbles - i know were your coming from, as i have no idea what to get next !!
but it just has to be done - to own a car sooo fast at such an age is FANNNNTTAASSTTTIICCC nothing feels quite like it!! id much rather have fun in it 24 (as i am now) then wait till you have the kids, and be 40+ with the wife moaning etc etc!!

Pmsl at the level of jealousy that's going on from some people on here. Grow up, just because he's got a bigger toy than some of you. lol.
Subway thats a truly amazing car, must be nice to step up into a proper sports car. As a fellow rwd owner I share your sentiments about not being able to wait for the summer. Makes driving around in the wet like a wimp well worth it. Enjoy!!
