TVRrrrrrrrrrrr!

Specifically, it’s a 2004 T350, with a 4.0 litre engine. The T350 had a 3.6 as standard, so I’m inclined to think the 4.0 litre was some kind of limited special edition?

Hmm, maybe some kind of development car for the Sagaris which came in 2005 with the 4.0 version of the Speed Six. I mean it would not be weird if a small company like TVR actually sold their development cars once they were done with them.

Also nice matching colour with your 106.

That is definitely the least horrible modern TVR I’ve ever seen.

Heh, I hadn’t even noticed! Considering this is TVR we’re talking about, I wouldn’t be massively surprised if it actually were the same - Moonstone Blue, in Peugeot parlance; silver so far as every MOT garage it’s ever been through is concerned - paint, as procured from some disused storage shed around the back of a Peugeot factory.

And yeah, I was thinking it was probably the Sagaris 4.0—I’m just wondering whether it was in there from the factory, or installed after the fact. If it is a factory thing, then the one source I’ve managed to find on Sagaris-engined T350s would seem to suggest that the TVR I just so happened to run into while grabbing a Subway is one of two.
