25% tax free twice

Say I have £300k in my works pension & I take the 25% tax free at age 58 but continue to contribute £3k a month into it for the rest of my working life (67)  do I get 25% of that new portion £350k or there abouts tax free? 
I think I do but need to know if I'm correct or not? 

I fully expect to pay full tax on my remaining first £225k when I take it.

    Implicit in what MallyGirl has said, but worth calling out, you get 25% tax free on the value of those new contributions at the time you want to take the TFC - whether the investment has increased or fallen.
