TVR Tasmin 350i

Mention the name TVR to any classics enthusiast and the image of an exciting car will undoubtedly flash into their mind. That's because TVR created some of the most exciting road cars in the world. Not trouble-free but always exciting.

The cockpit will never let you forget that you are driving a sports machine. Multiple dials and a steering wheel that would look normal in an early Formula One help with the atmosphere.

TVR Tasmin  350i

The TVR 350i was manufactured between 1983 and 1989. Sleek and purposeful in appearance it backed up those looks with the venerable Rover V8 motor. In 350i guise the 3528 cc engine produces 197 bhp, not much by 2023 standards but in 1983 it was phenomenal. That said, even today performance of the 350i remains exciting.

Still Motoring Magazine
A local classics magazine for local enthusiasts

Discovering forgotten makes and models is the lifeblood of our magazine as are the people who cherish them. This month we take a look at three of the most popular British classic sports cars - the Jaguar E-Type, MG MGB Roadster, and Triumph TR6. We also use the MG MGB Roadster to assess how inflation has impacted classic values. Now the classics show season is underway we include a large section of the magazine to one of the first we've attended, the Ballynahinch Vintage Classic & Retro Static Show 2023. Offering fresh insights into those who organized the event as well as vehicles included for the display. Lots to see and discover. We also note the concern of many enthusiasts over the right fuel for their vehicles and adopted the government's guide regards E10 and E5 petrol. Knowing what you're putting into your tank could save you a small fortune. New to the magazine is a short quiz to test your car knowledge, plus all the usual data tables, used car free ads, and more.
