Hi there
Does anybody know, if the T350T will have the same roofline like the T350C? Or will it be more like the Tuscans roofline or something else?

As far as I am aware, it will have the same roof line.
I hope so, as I have aleady specced the car.
I cannot see them having a seperate mould made for the Targa top.

Yep, I agree with Nigel.

As it has been explained to me their will probably be two roof panels though they didnt know if their would bt a T section or if if would be like the S with an overlap.

I'm in to do mine tommorow and I cant decide whether to get posh paint or the targa roof, the latter will probably be better for resale but I do love those reflex colours.

I would go for the Targa in preference to the expensive paint. The attraction of that fresh air option, is just to tempting.
I nearly waited to see a targa version before putting my spec in, but what the hell, not knowing exactly what the final version will be like, is part of the excitment of buying a TVR
One thing is for sure though, it will be fantastic whatever.

Do you guys really think a T roof looks nice on the T350??

I don't think another solution is possible, because there is an integral rollbar like the Cerbera has.

Rosso Pearl with Grey bison and Nimbus Ambla inside and A/C can't wait

Tis true unfortunately

However, the spec sheet I filled in not 12 hours before I found out I had to cancel was

Exterior: Deep Purple (the original Tuscan R's colour)
Interior: Black Leather with Silver Highlights and Silver Seatbacks. Lamonta Seat Facings, Door Cards and Roof Lining.

Gutted!

Looking forward to seeing your new beast with the Aerokit though Christof!

Matt.

Matt,

I'm with you matey, especially after all the effort you put in speccing the beastie.

Will be in the UK for several GT races next year, so maybe we can meet up for some german beers

Anyway will keep you posted about my special engine.



Fish,

Matt,

Interesting to see your lamonta seat facings. I pushed and pushed for lamonta on radio-housing, and change-up pod (as well as the door-cards and roof which are standard) on my Tuscan S, and as hard as MV tried, the factory would not offer it...

Was a bit disappointed, but in the end settled for getting it retrimmed by someone after delivery if it bothered me that much.

Were the factory happy to trim the seats in lamonta, or did it not go far enough to tell?

Basically when I asked they said that if theres a piece of material inside the car you can have it in any colour of any finish you want. On enquiring how far this went I was told that if I wanted to go to Blackpool to mix a colour myself they would prepare the car in that.

At a cost though, of course.

On the whole I think the 'rules' have been relaxed a little with regard to these things.

Matt.
