I have just swapped my Tuscan for a T350c I would like to get a rear shelf cover (like a roller blind) to cover anything carried in the back and on display does anybody know if this item exists and if so where could I get one

Cheers

Hi Dave, yes you can retro fit the rear cover, as it was not a standard fitting when we purchased our T350 19 months ago.
But it had to go back to the factory to have it fitted. I have no idea of the cost, as it was done while the car was still under its one year warranty.
The cover sort of does the job, but you can't store much under it, and ours is falling apart!!!(coming unstiched).

Newer models have one of these. I was told by a dealer when looking to buy one without that this could be retrofitted. So I suggest asking the dealer.

Thanks guys
I do recall seeing a 350 with one fitted when I was looking around to buy my 350. I will check it out with my dealer. I assume this would have been a factory option and not a standard fitment. As I cant find any info on the part. I assume the dealer could if it’s available. I assume it could be colour coordinated. I hope there not just the standard Black.
Thanks again

Bugger, just noticed mine is coming unstitched at each end ... another warranty repair before my 12 months are up then.

Another friggin' trim niggle ... come on TVR.

Well that just about settles it I've binned the roller blind option. To cover my wine I will just have to thro a blanket over the red stuff instead.

The other benefit the load cover provides is stopping luggage from braining you when making keen progress. Without one, even something like a lapttop bag could still slide its way into the front of the car under extreme braking (not to mention a collision). You don't necessarily need the cover over the luggage, it acts as a kind of dam at the front of the boot.

Actually that’s a very valid point your making there! It would be very easy for something to slide forward between the seats under breaking.
