TVR 350i

The TVR 350i is a sports car built by British company TVR from 1983 until 1989. 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 TVR Tasmin 350i appeared in August 1983. Using the same chassis and body, a 3.5-litre Rover V8 was installed. After a year, the "Tasmin" part of the name was dropped and the car became just TVR 350i.

Development
The 3.5 L V8 produced at 5280 rpm and of torque at 4000 rpm, propelling the 350i to a top speed of between , while 0-60 mph (97 km/h) took between 6.3 and 6.5 seconds. The factory claimed the coupe version was capable of a top speed of 10mph above that of the convertible (the owners handbook stated a top speed of 146mph). The Rover-engined 350i provided the added benefit of being marketable in Arab countries, where there was a certain political resistance to buying Ford products because of Ford's close dealings with Israel. By 1989, after the introduction of the 400/450SE and 420/450 SEAC, the lineup was rationalized and the by now least powerful 350i was dropped. Over 1,000 350i's were built. The end of the run was marked by the limited edition (25 examples only) 3.9-litre TVR 350SE of 1990-91. ==References==
