The Appeal

While TVR boss Peter Wheeler even let his dog Ned have a hand in the design of his cars (yes, that really did happen), an altogether more serious approach was taken with the T350C, which was honed in MIRA's wind tunnel. Weighing in at just 1,187 kg and limited to only 460 units, this was a seriously capable machine. Our 2003 car takes things a step further... The 4.3-litre TVR Power engine specification is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after builds for these cars, offering strong performance alongside improved durability.

This 2003 example has been in the hands of a seasoned TVR enthusiast for the past decade, garaged throughout and maintained with the sort of attention these cars reward. The engine was rebuilt by TVR Power to 4.3 specification and has covered only 4,800 miles since, with a recent service ensuring the rebuild warranty remains in place. Beyond the engine, the car has benefited from a broad programme of mechanical renewal over the years.

The exterior presents well for its age, with a few minor marks and stone chips noted on close inspection, and the vendor reports a small area of paint fading on the passenger side of the roof that they believe would respond well to a cut and polish. Inside, the cabin looks in very good order, with well-preserved seat bolsters and carpets that have retained their colour. The vendor describes the specification as particularly classy and understated, and considers this their favourite among the several TVRs they have owned.
