I also investigated T350's a while back.
As mentioned, I hear the later the engine build, they more reliable they are. If you can get one thats had a rebuild, its a massive bonus. Don't they cost about 4-5k to rebuild if they go bang?
However, one BIG factor that put me off it parts supply - since TVR went under they can be very, very difficult to get hold of. Just make sure its not a car your rely on for work/transport!
Overall reliability stories are mixed - you can get good ones, which don't cost much to run as general servicing costs are relatively cheap for the looks/performance on offer. But you can also get a very bad ones, which will financially ruin you. So look at lots!
But if you can afford it and are aware of the potential 'worst case scenario' costs, then go for it. Gorgeous cars
