According to this advert anyway:

https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13762377

That is unless you count the 21 SORNed as actually being in existence and quite a few more still in existence abroad as well.

Caveat Emptor indeed.

They just get their data from here, but it really should be taken as a minimum. There are many hundreds of TVRs recorded at DVLA with no model designation, hence the TVR 'Missing' with valid VED total of 811.

https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?q=tvr&commit=Se...

There are 40 TVR 'missing' models registered between 2002 and 2005 alone.

https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/tvr_missing#...

Note that there are 359 TVR 'missing' models registered in 1992 alone. Hence the early Griffs are not as rare as many think. scratchchin

Lasted 3 days; great to see the top cars are still selling quickly, and at strong money.

And,only 9 or 10 T350Ts produced from 2005/6 .To directly compare with Sags .

These are the very rarest,and in many ways the best " modern", TVRs ever made .

I like that a previous owner part exchanged it for a Tuscan getmecoat

As a T350T owner myself and too much time on my hands over lockdown I kept an eye on the numbers. There are at least 70 "left". Still a rare and very desirable car, so why make them seem rarer than they are, and then make a big play on how rare they are? Total BS.

Hi Paul
I have one too. Factory Red Rose 4.0L with a vinylester body. I know of one other.
The Blackpool Thunder club are in possession of the build sheets. I keep pestering them to collate them and make the findings available.

So that's a possible 3 maybe 4, as I think there is one on main land Europe.
Italy or Belgium springs to mind...

Mine went to France in 2019 and is unfortunately no more as a fuel line let go for the new owner frown

Oh no, that's a tragedy. Was this because of the dreaded ethanol?

The car I know of was featured in the Autocar face off with a Subaru BRZ.

Currently SORNed.

This is the only other one I've read about.
The link is old but may still be relevant...

Bought by me which will be my first foray into the world of TVR's - it wasn't the wording that appealed to me rather the colour, hopefully pick it up soon although probably won't be until mid September as I'm off to Spain shortly

Congratulations, you won't be disappointed. I bought my current T350T from Str8Six and their cars are immaculately prepared.

The beautiful Red 2005 Sagaris at straight six,looks a snip at £85k.
I'd expect a similar mileage 2005/6 T350T to be up for 75/80% of that , assuming it's had simple spring and damper mods to give near identical handling.
They only made 79 T350Ts in total production, and the best 2005/6 cars, 9/11 cars.

Not a definitive source I know but howmanyleft show peak number of T350Ts at 84, in 2009. A number were exported as well so total production is higher still.
When Blackpool Thunder finally collate the build sheets we will have a definitive number.

Looks great!

So, is it a 2006 car? What was the (final) door card layout than?
