As today was the second time in 2 months that I have left my lights on causing the battery to go flat, I would like to see a "lights on" buzzer fitted as standard. Particularly as getting into a locked TVR with no power is not a straightforward task. Fortunately the first time was on a hill so I could bump start it and today I am near a window so I can plug in my battery conditioner.

Lights on buzzer great idea.
A locking glovebox
A softop that seals as well as a comercial car (like my girlfriends MR2)
A battery in an easier place than the foot well.

Other than that, I love them.

I'd take Kylie over ABS any day.

In fact I'd take Kylie over anything, dining table, kitchen worktop, car bonnet, etc

In addition to:

- Lights on buzzer great idea.
- A locking glovebox
- A roof panel with a water/wind proof seal.
- A battery in an easier place than the foot well.

I would add:

- Aircon should be standard on all TVRs as it's essential.
- Pot of paint for those nasty chips that seem to breed on the bonnet...

A boot that locks and unlocks with the zapper, please, so I don't have to keep opening the door, putting the key in the ignition, turning it (but not too much), then leaning further in to press the boot release button.

You can get around the boot lock by fitting something like a Clifford that has remote boot release as a feature.
I agree about the seatbelts: on my car I know what the problem is, but haven't worked out how to fix it.
I agree about the chassis: but then if I hadn't had to repair two of them I wouldn't have had quite so much practise with a MIG set and AutoCAD!
As for equipment... can I have some HUGE headlamps to blind those twats who keep leaving their front fogs lamps on? It's bad enough in the work's van, but low down in the Wedge it's a bloody nightmare.
How about some more toys like the Cerbera's door/ window control? I keep racking my brains trying to think up useful things, and all I come up with is missile launchers and ejector seats... ;-)
Tell you what would go down well with Wedge owners... a replacement dash in the style of either the late 400SE or, better yet, the Speed Eight that was cancelled....

Not that hard to get done - Noel Flannery from V8 Sports wired in a new plipper to do this for my car - took him about 30 minutes for the wiring (can all be done behind the passenger side velcro flap).
