In 1982 TVR's then new owner Peter Wheeler found himself wanting more power than the Cologne V6-equipped Tasmin 280i could offer. Thus, based on the existing car the
Tasmin 350i appeared in August 1983. Using the same chassis and body (with some minor changes), a 3.5-litre Rover V8 was installed. After a year, the "Tasmin" part of the name was dropped
and the car became plain TVR 350i.
Good Wedges are now hard to come by and are rising in value.
This handsome TVR 350i was first registered in October 1984 and is guaranteed to turn heads with its Arctic White paintwork, Anthracite wheels
and Red velour interior.
Showing just 73,804 miles this particular car appears to have been one of the “show cars prepared by the factory for promotional purposes. There is a tag (found by the previous owner on the
wiring loom), annotated with Vin number (5879) and V8 Conv R.H.Motor Show. Interestingly the chassis number DH5879R1 and registration B879TYG are very nearly the same.
The TVRCC web site also has a picture of this car in its archives.
