2003 TVR T350

KEY FACTS

• An excellent low-mileage example of the wonderfully analogue British sports car.
• Under the bonnet sits a 3.6-litre ‘Speed Six’ inline-six engine producing 350bhp which is sent to the rear wheels through an engaging five-speed manual transmission.
• With a comprehensive history on file, this TVR had a recent major service including a full health check at 30,412 miles.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• This example benefits from a strong specification, including the sought-after Hydratrak limited-slip differential along with a full hide interior and air-conditioning.
• The paperwork and accessories present with this 350C is superb, including the full TVR handbook pack, stamped maintenance record, TVR tool kit, Optimate trickle charger with TVR-specific connection, and stacks of paperwork and invoices.

CONDITION

• There is no known body damage to the vehicle, though the front bumper has seemingly been resprayed at some point in its lifetime.
• At the rear, there are two faint lines visible at close inspection which are believed to be sinkage in the fibreglass, while there is a minor scuff on the offside rear wheel arch and a short scratch on the nearside rear wing.
• Elsewhere, there is a small quantity of stone chips which is commensurate for a car of this age and performance, and the Redbull Blue paintwork is in generally excellent condition.
• Inside, the cabin presents very well and is original other than the upgraded stereo.
• There are some slightly faded areas of the boot carpet and transmission tunnel from sunlight exposure, though the rest of the interior is in great shape.
• There are no known faults with the vehicle and no warning lights present on the dash.
• The most recent MOT test took place on 15 August 2020, and resulted in a first-time pass with advisories for an exhaust leak, minor hydraulic leak and the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit / worn on the edge. All advisories were subsequently been rectified at the recent service.
• The chassis has benefited from being given Waxoyl treatments from an early age and all outriggers are structurally sound with very little signs of rust.
