1985 TVR 350i

This TVR 350i is a rare British sports car, which shares its chassis and body with the Tasmin 280i. It is powered by a 3.5-litre Rover V8, delivering 147kW to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The car has a top speed of more than 200km/h, and 0-100km/h takes around 6.5 seconds. The five-digit odometer indicates 20,453 miles (32,915 km), which the seller believes is the genuine total. They inherited the car from a collection owned by their father. Build year: 1985 This 350i is finished in white, with a black soft-top roof and a black leather interior with white piping, elegant wood inlays and blue carpets. It rides on 15-inch eight-spoke Superlite alloy wheels, wrapped with mixed Bridgestone tyres. Key features include a bonnet scoop, pop-up headlights, a three-spoke Momo steering wheel, an analogue clock, a Pioneer stereo, Fusion speakers and a fire extinguisher. Accompanying the vehicle will be the owner’s manual and spare wheel. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the rear view mirrors have paint missing; the driver’s internal door handle does not work; trim will need to be removed and repaired. This TVR 350i is a rare 1980s sports car, which shares its chassis and body with the Tasmin 280i. It would benefit from a service given its unknown maintenance history, but once completed, this lesser-seen sports car should make an entertaining companion for weekend jaunts, and a crowd-pleasing car show companion.
