Hey guys,

I keep thinking that a 4 seater TVR should be on the cards soon and that leaves slim pickings! I love the cerbera but a +2 wedge would be great as I know my way around wedges very well!

How many are there left tho?

There were 47 280's made and 6 350i's made.

Of the 47, some were used in the early days of the tuscan challenge racing so its anyones guess how many are left

Of the 6 350's, all are accounted for but getting an owner to part with one will be the hardest thing!

I searched for a 280 for 6 months before one popped up, and it was only because I contacted all of the 350 owners and left my details that I managed to, 3 years later, buy my one!

I recently bought one of the six 350i +2's which was in storage for 10+ years. Bought it with the idea to drive it a couple of years before moving on to a younger TVR and should be road-ready and in perfect mechanical condition soon. Feel free to drop me an email - initial plan was always to part with it after a short period of time so I'll gladly add you to the potential buyer list :-)

At least the tail lights are the right way up!

I've only seen a few +2's in the many years I've been wedging. Shows how rare they are.

I always wondered what happened to the rear suspension when you put two passengers in (if they will fit), my experiences with carrying a passenger on the parcel shelf (on a private road m'lud) are that the rear bottoms out at above 50mph.
