Before I go and ask about the entire contents of the classifieds does anyone know this T350T? http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/731696.htm

Looks nice but am a little unsure of the targa due to roof leaks/fitting.
4 previous owners, last serviced in June by London TVR.
Front end respray in Feb due to stone chips...
Any comments? Or even better is anyone on here one of the 4 previous owners?

I don't know anything about it beyond the ad, but it was the subject of some fairly serious day dreaming this morning. It is a stunner, just not sure i am willing to give up the total roof off feeling of the Tam.

Don't know the car specifically, but it's a beautiful looking beast.

About the Targa panels; I have a T350T, and the panels are fiddly to fit and remove and are responsible for increased wind noise over a Coupe, however I have never had an issue with them leaking. Personally, I'd still take a targa over the coupe for the open top option and the increased headroom.

thumbup I have an early Cerb in that colour, its a rare one for TVR's. If its 'pearl' you get a bit of gold glow to it in the right light too.

Thanks guys - would the fact the current owner is the fifth put you off at all on a 4 1/2 year old car?
Didn't notice the condensation - looks like a small amount and possibly caused from being washed but how easy is it to sort out and is it common?

What would people say would be a good price to offer should it look OK on viewing?

Looks great and seems to have been well maintained but it is strange that none of the previous owners felt it was worth keeping. I suppose you would have to look through the service history to see if there were any big bills that might have put some of them off. Fairly near the top of the Flawse rules for cheap motoring is not to buy a car with lots of owners....

Do you really think this is necessarily true with TVR's in general? Whilst I do agree that a high number of owners on a "normal" car is usually a bad thing, TVRs, particularly the newer ones do seem to get moved on quite regularly. I would have thought that someone keeping the car for a year or so is not that unusual. All IMO of course.

Looks Great.

Had mine from new and no leaks yet, panels are a bit of a pain to get right so that you get less wind noise but well worth it.
I use to get an annoying whistle at about 75-80 i've added some more padding under the t bar cover which now makes it a lot better.

Have a look take it for a drive.

Went right over my head!!!

As for the car - yes indeed it does look nice but then again a picture can hide many things hence the post. I'm looking at 2 tomorrow so will add this to my shortlist.

Dont forget to post pictures of the winner, one of the best looking TVR's ever made, in my humble opinion.
