Blue T350 - FJ03 FKF (ex-S6BYH) - Anyone know the History?
Discussion
Sorry, I've stumbled in here from my normal haunt over in the Cerbera thread. A friend of mine has asked me about the car in the link below:

Does anyone know this car? Something just doesn't seem right about the price, but I'm not T350 expert.
TIA

Hi Olly,
That car used to be mine
It's been on sale for quite a while now. I p-exed it with Mercedes-Benz themselves, it went to auction and assumedly was bought by this company. Amusingly the part ex offer I got for the car was more than what the car's on sale for now.
I remember speaking to some other guys in the Tamora/T350/Sag group and apparently the service history has gone missing (which may explain the low price). Disappointing as I spent quite a while organising it (I had everything from the original build sheet right through to the last service) by category and date!
The car's not had an engine rebuild yet and has reached the magic 30k miles, it was running fine when I traded it in but I remember seeing a lot of the techs lining up to have a drive in the TVR. Ross at Shmoo knows the car and I used to get Andy at APM Automotive to keep it running tickety-boo.
It's also got a JP exhaust on the back for maximum aural pleasure.
I would say it's worth a look but be prepared for an engine rebuild. I would be interested to see if Shmoo/Powers sold you a warranty on it as I suspect if the current garage offer you one it certainly won't be as comprehensive as TVR warranties now tend to be.
Happy to answer any further questions, either on here or via PM if necessary.
Cheers
Seb
