This TVR looks good, drives very well and sounds amazing.

This exceedingly smart right-hand drive home market 350i hails from 1985, and is finished in an attractive deep Italian red that's complemented by the black Leather red piped interior trim. All in very nice condition. The car's 3.5-litre Rover V8 engine drives through a five-speed manual gearbox and the odometer has so far clocked a total of 107,696 miles from new. This TVR drives beautifully, while the engine packs a punch and sounds awesome. The 350i has had a total of six keepers to date, the previous one having retained it for 16 years. It is now being sold complete with extensive service history and all past paperwork, tax discs and MOTs, plus a current certificate valid until February 2022. An eminently affordable opportunity for anybody seeking a classic in which to enjoy the impending summer sun.

What was briefly called the Tamsin 350i broke cover in 1983 and was achieved by shoe-horning Rover's venerable 3.5-litre V8 engine into the space previously occupied by Ford's 2.8 litre one. Its 190bhp output was sufficient to propel the newcomer to 60mph in around 6.3 seconds and on to a top speed of over 140+mph. This one boasting a little bit more power from the uprated engine.

Only things to note is that the soft top has a couple of repairs in it and the veneer strips on the doors are in poor condition.
