after a very bad experience with my first TVR Tuscan,I was smitten!!Thought to much power not enough grip so opted for Tamora. Loved it, but was a tad girly!!So bought t350 in spectraflair. Although only purchased this Saturday thought I should let you know what I think(so far!!) What a drive!!Although still running in,no wind noise,seals that work and a perfect driving position. Although every TVR I have owned has made me feel as if it was capable of keeping up with the shuttle!this car lets you do it with confidence.It seems to me the harder you push it(limited at the mo)the more it glides and feels happier the faster you go!
Im so used to gritting my teeth above a certain speed in my Tuscan and Tamora,but this is soooooo much happier at speed.As for the look on peoples faces!!anyone with any questions give me yell or ill see you at one of the many summer events,hopefully still smiling!!

I'm glad you are enjoying yours as much as we are ours, it is a truly fantastic car and grips the road so much better than the Tuscan.

I agree the 350 looks a treat, but the roof doesn't come off, so although the Tamora may look a tad girlie it got my vote just for the ability to go topless, as all girlies should!!

soz about the girly comment, I think the Tamora is a fantastic car but was just annoyed that my girlfriend always wanted to drive it!!I was also annoyed with the "is that a lotus" comments which I found offensive. Driving from midlands to preston this week so should get upto 1000 miles which will be a relief as its frustrating running in,should the engines already be run in??
The AC isnt fantastic and will be sorted at 1000 I hope.water temp running at 100 and oil temp at 106 but have pressure,i can only assume technical glitch!!!???

That's funny! Someone asked me if my Tuscan was a Lotus the other day..

I've also been asked if it's an American car too! I think the Tuscan looks very Corvette.

Temps do sound just a touch high could be air trapped or an overreading sensor. I have got mine that hot but is was when very heat soaked in traffic. Generally runs in 90's
