Hi

Having sold my Griff a few months ago I will be making a New Years resolution to acquire a TVR in 2004. Question is which one? Ideally I would like the power of a Cerb 4.5, the handling of a T350, the looks of a Tuscan and the ease of ownership of a Griff! I have been juggling the merits of each one for ages, think I have managed to narrow it down to T350 or Tuscan. What are your views on how these stack up against each other?
Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Tuscan definitely as it gives you open as well as closed options.

Tuscan would get my vote.

Am I alone in feeling the T350 just a touch claustrophobic? - certainly the Tamora seems a bit cramped inside compared to the Griff. The Tuscan felt just right from the off.

No, my thoughts too. Tuscan gets my vote.

T350t would get my vote. The 350 is a better drive than a Tuscan, by quite a significant amount in my opinion. The removable panels really do open up the cabin as well...

350 for balls out racing

Tuscan for a bit of at the same time

I've owned and run both as a daily driver. Both are great I would sum them up as follows;

Tuscan-
Bigger more secure boot
More chin dropping looks
Useful space behind seats
Roof comes off(although I couldn't be bothered that much)

T350c-
Far more chukable handling!
More comfortable suspension
Good looks


I've loved both of them and summing up I would say the 350 is a far better everyday car but with less luggage space and the tuscan is more of a beast
