In late 1983, the preceding TVR Tasmin 280i was upgraded with a bigger engine and renamed the Tasmin 350i. In 1984, the Tasmin name was dropped and the model became known simply as the 350i. It was offered in both Coupe and Convertible guises, the 350i boasted 190bhp now on tap from the Rover SD1-sourced engine – rising to 197bhp in 1985 – the 350i was a very fast car for the time, with 60 arriving in around 6.5 seconds and a top speed of almost 140mph. The interior was luxuriously finished, with a polished wooden dashboard and comfortable seats, and coupled with the smooth, torquey engine, the new TVR was not tiring to drive like many predecessors. The more-popular convertible featured a well-engineered folding hood, which was easy to both raise and lower. In addition, it was found that there was minimal buffeting of the fabric roof even at high speed. 949 350is were built before the end of production in 1989, while the car’s underpinnings lived on in some of TVR’s models of the following decade.

Manufactured in 1985, the 350i on offer was supplied new via Harrogate Horseless Carriages Ltd. on the 11th of April that year to its first owner. Fitted with the aforementioned Rover SD1 3498cc V8 engine allied to the five-speed manual transmission, the TVR is finished in Blue with Grey interior upholstery and Blue piping, and a matching Blue soft-top and is fitted with power-steering. In current registered ownership since 2003, ‘TVR 367S’ has a recorded mileage of just shy of 78,000 miles and has had six former keepers, being in the hands of just two owners for the last thirty years. The TVR is offered with the original book pack including the handbook and stamped service book displayed in the TVR wallet. The service book contains fourteen stamps, with nine of those present from the supplying dealership. Also accompanied by numerous tax discs dating back to 1993, a current V5C document, as well as the apt cherished ‘TVR’ registration number.
