Castle TVR in Stansted are running a T350C demo in gunmetal grey. May have been that as it isn't far away.

Oh, and did I mention the garage I test drove the Vauxhall VX220 Turbo from use the same test route as Castle, and gave the T350C a serious fright a couple of weeks ago when they came across it

I am SO looking forward to getting mine

I saw a car at the weekend and I haven't got a clue what it is.
I looked similar to a GTM Libra (pic below) at the front but longer and lower. To me it looked like TVR with a restyled front and rear. Was it another kit car or something new??

Doh!! it was a TVR!
Just found this pic of the T350C . Maybe EVO were testing it (one of the journos only lives a few miles from me).

Hi Dave

It was a light metallic blue colour. Looked great.
You decided on a colour for the VX?

The car I saw I thought looked like the GTM Libra kit car ((the red car)it has a rover K series engine BTW )
I have since found out that what I saw was in fact a TVR T350C (yes I know it looks nothing like a GTM Libra, but with a closing speed of at least 120mph it's a bit difficult to see properly)
Sorry to be confusing
