Thank you for purchasing your T350, we trust that you will enjoy it. The car has been
designed and built to be safe, rewarding to drive and have a long life.
Whilst many new customers of TVR may have previously owned high performance
vehicles we feel that a few words of caution are necessary.
Your first impression of the T350, we hope, will be one of sophistication and comfort
but please be aware of its very high performance. The power to weight ratio coupled
with the progressive nature of the power curve can be deceptive. Consequently, it
would be wise to gradually acquaint yourself with the abilities of your new car.
For all cars fitted with high performance tyres, there is a much greater difference
between the amount of adhesion on dry roads than on a wet or slippery surface
compared with normal cars. In addition it is essential you bed the tyres in for approx.
1000miles.
Please drive safely and have fun.
