T350 & Sagaris factory build pictures..

[PipeNslippers]

I have seen a couple of great pictures recently from the good old days when TVR was in full swing..does anybody have any pictures hidden away of these cars being put together..especially the T350C's and Sagaris?

[BCA]

Can I also add that I'd love to hear from anyone involved heavily in the development of both cars.

IF anyone knows what the fuel tank/ valve in the fuel filler is from for starters...

There are loads of pictures of the factory late in its life at http://rides.webshots.com/album/569227296DCglTE

Quite a few shots of Sags, but not sure about T350s.

MrShifty,

Page Not Found?

Anyway, I have some, but currently no proper space to host them.

Example:















Got some more. The first and last picture shows the car I actually bought from its first owner.

All the best,
Björn.

Those pictures actually make me feel sad that the factory has shut down. What a magnificent place it must have been, all those beautiful cars being made.

Actually worse seen as i've just seen an advert for the new MG!

You'd think there's bound to be a market for new TVR's!

I feel exactly the same way.

Hi,

Does anyone have any early 2003 factory pictures showing a chameleon orange T350C with orange and black internal trim?

What are those rear wheels?

Pleased to see my pictures of my old car

To answer the question on the wheels - cars in build had any old wheel fitted to enabale the car to be pushed around the factory. New wheels were fitted at the end of the build !

Hope the car is going well Bjorn !

Geoff,

T350 is astonishing as ever. It is very hard to keep it in the condition it is used to, though. You set a very high standard...

To calm you down, it has an easy live with me.





Will take it to the COntinental Meeting next month.

I´ll keep in touch. Might be in your area (Service) in August,
all the best,
Björn.

Wow ! That's a fantastic looking car !

They are the same as used on the Speed Six Griffith Prototype and have recently been said to be an option on the original Cerbera 4.2's - a 16 inch option, though most preferred the six spoke OZ saturns. I have often wondered how well a T350 would ride/handle on 16s. Will have to try it sometime.

Quentin - I had suspected you had bought that car, it was one we were about to look into having spoken to Str8six about it briefly. We are thankful that we ended up with ours, but I was told that it really was utterly immaculate - at the time I was a little miffed we were beaten to it! Also, I believe you're another Cerbera to T350C man, although S6's in both? Any thoughts on how they compare?

[geoff]

Hi Bjorn - car still looking good, if you are over to get it serviced I will try and meet up - maybe at Jason's if we are around

I should also say Jason was also a bit miffed - as he also really wanted it

I suggest we start a new thread about that. I might have some aspects to add for that comparison...

Oh, and sorry for snatching up that T350, but if you ever get to know Geoff, you would have bought it straight away, even on the phone as I did...not recommended in every threat here.

All the best,
Björn.

Mr Shifty,
Thanks for posting the link, what a great historical document of TVR at Bristol Ave

Björn, I'll post up a comparison thread sometime this week (I have been saying this for weeks, but I will actually do it this week) in the General TVR section.

I did not have the pleasure of speaking to Geoff, I spoke to Str8six and then went to look for his number/ email on the classifieds and saw it was sold. I am glad you got it, from the look of your old Cerbera, it'll have a good home out in Germany. As it happens, we also managed to buy ours from a PH'er (TVRnewbie) who could not have been more helpful, and we are very very happy with the car we ended up with.

I look forward to parking it up next to yours at an event in the future sometime.
