Battle between T350 and Griff for me. Although I think I'd upset the purists as I'd want 17's on my Griff....duncs500 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 9:27 am I'd like to see it in the flesh, just because it would look like nothing else on the road, but it doesn't really work aesthetically. @Jobbo is correct. For me the T350 is one of TVRs best looking cars (along with the Griff of course). Tuscan's are nice, but I never quite lusted after them as much as the Cerbera, Griff and T350.
Something like this. Ford RS are a good option, but rare.

Re: The ebay thread
Sagaris for me over the T350 just for the rear exhausts.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: The ebay thread
Not ebay, but how fucked do you think this is given it's been to the moon and back, metaphorically speaking?

It's about three grand below the usual price for a 335i as far as I can tell, and I don't think not having xenons and milage is the main cause for that, surely?

when you're pissed off with your cars reliability, it's always good to buy a suspiciously cheap one with mega mileage to replace it.Beany wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 2:24 pm Not ebay, but how fucked do you think this is given it's been to the moon and back, metaphorically speaking?

They are the "basic" Cerbera 17" wheels. Which almost everyone declined in favour of the 18" spiders. They look a bit weedy on the Cerb, but <chefs kiss> on the Griff. I think they are actually made by Raceline (?)

It just stuck out like a sore thumb F30 in a sea of E90s!
Re: The ebay thread
I’ve not really been aware of the Lexus LS600 previously.
Visually understated big wafty 440bhp v8 luxury with 4wd security. Auto box but see earlier wafty note. Not bad at all…

Re: The ebay thread
The Griffith 500 alloys are particularly bad - no dish at all - yet they’re probably the most common wheels on a Griffith. I far prefer the original 16” rear/15” front 5-spoke alloys which were on them.mik wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 1:42 pmBattle between T350 and Griff for me.

Re: The ebay thread
Not for me thanks.
The styling was apparently intended to mimic a fish, which - unfortunately - was quite successful in doing so.
If you are a normal person, you won't recall that the Mitsuoka Orochi was powered by a (Lexus) 3.3 NA V6 producing just 230bhp mated to a 5-speed slushbox in order to move it's 1550kg around. Very softly sprung too apparently.
I reckon that's a lucky escape.....

The front looks a bit like a slightly melted Celica.

Cheap ? That one’s £19k ! It would be a hugely brave move compared to any BMW/Merc at that age & price.ZedLeg wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2023 10:12 amIf I was looking for a cheap barge to knock around in, a Lexus LS would be high on the list.mik wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 9:21 pm I’ve not really been aware of the Lexus LS600 previously.
