Having had 2 Chims and now a Cerb, I am very used to the deep chest boot and happy that 2 sets of golf clubs will easily fit. Seriously thinking that a T350 could be my next Tiv, and was wondering about luggage space. How deep is the storage area at the back? Can it take golf clubs? Does is come with a cover so that would be thieves cannot see what's in there.

Cheers.

Gixxer1000, the boot space in a T350C is reasonable although not capacious enough to take two golf bags!

I have managed a golf bag but it is a squeeze and you will probably have to take out your driver and put this in separately. This is with the bag going across the car (at right angles to the drive shaft), a bag would go in length ways although you would have to secure the contents so they didn't go through the windscreen under heavy breaking.

The load depth starts at about 12" right at the back to about 30" behind the seats (very rough estimate and I'm not great at putting figures to distances).

The latest T350C's have a retractable load cover to hide the boot contents, this is set pretty low but has loads of material so will go over quite a lot of kit.

Hope this helps - maybe someone else may have more accurate measurements on the boot floor to tailgate depth...

Good luck.

Sorry Nicksey but I had to read this bit a few times!
I couldn't understand why you'd buy a T350C and then get a chaffeur!

I can put my golf bag, shoe bag & trolley in without problem, however mines not the latest version, ie without the luggage blind. Suggest you take a drive to Arkley and have a look, they have a brand new demo car.

I think with the blind it may be a problem.

Nice one! Didn't spot that when I wrote it.

We had the luggage cover retro fitted just before the 6000 mile service. Went to Europe on holiday and had two large bags, a couple of crash helmets and camping chairs in the back, the cover fitted over it all no problem. As has been said there is plenty of extra material available, so I wouldn't worry

Thanks all for the info. Sounds like I will be ok to get one set of golf clubs in but not two. Oh well, I'd just have to stop offering to pick up mates on the way to the golf.

Cheers.

gixxer, i had the same worries, having previously owned a chimaera and tuscan. Have recently picked up my t350c and can comfortably fit two sets of clubs in without any bother what so ever. In fact doing eactly that this afternoon...assuming the rain holds off.

Thanks howardjt. Good to know that 2 sets of clubs will indeed fit. The T350 is definitely creeping up my awareness list, and is current favourite for my next TVR. Only had the Cerbera since April though, so not quite ready for a change.
