About TVR T350 C
TVR changed the pace and introduced the C version of its T350 sports car in 2002 and gave it the proper look and handling to be a car suitable for roads, not only tracks and highways.
Built on top of the same platform as the Tamora roadster, the T350 C carried over underpinnings from its Tuscan sibling, albeit with different, softer settings for the brakes and the suspension. In addition, the closed bodywork made it stiffer than its open-top sibling. But despite being a car with which someone could've driven easily on a daily, it only managed to sell less than 500 units in four years.
The British carmaker made a long and slanted nose, without a visible bumper at the front, but with a wrapped-around body area that comprised two side scoops. Its hood sported an arched vent and two powerdomes above the front-mid-mounted engine. The cabin featured a raked windshield, and a curved roof ended with a sloped-down rear windscreen.
Inside, TVR installed a leather-clad interior with aluminum stalks and buttons. There were no plastic switches. The only plastic bits were for the CD player mounted into the center stack. On the instrument panel, the carmaker placed white dials with red needles. Behind the front bucket seats, the T350 T featured a panel that separated the cabin from the luggage area.
Under the hood, the carmaker installed a straight-six engine with a 3.6-liter displacement. It provided 350 hp, and it was paired with a five-speed manual gearbox.
