Hi fellow wedgers just thought i'd say hello.
Waiting for a break in the weather to pick up my
350i sx (no rain), owned a 280i fhc over 10 years ago prior to marriage/house/kids and all that. Looking forward to returning to the fold. Spending my waiting time surfing for information etc and trying to establish how many sx's are left.

Yes that's the one,
A bit expensive but struggled to fing true value, with only 11,000 miles on clock and very good condition how do you value it? At the end of the days it's worth only what your prepared to pay for it, Im happy with final deal, price, 12 months warranty, putting minor paintwork right, front bumper and filler cap.

Thanks for your interest, Alan

I had a look at that one over Xmas; nice car. Don't be tempted to give it a good blast too soon though with this weather. Well done.

Glad it has gone to a new home, what a waste in a dealers showroom (No offence to Gorner's). Its a lovely car and the condition is amazing.

hope to see and hear your new purchase on the road soon.

live in Kirkham, feel free to make contact.

Regards

Colin

Good show, hope you got a good price. Another wedge on site would be great, mines parked in Mill Lane everyday.

Look forward to meeting up soon.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Our company do SC engines for companies such as Ford e.g. Mustang Cobra, Roush Mustang, F150 Lightning, Ford GT. Exhaust roar coupled with the belt whine - intoxicating! - Sadly only got to sit in the GT with the engine running but as it was car #3 (Red one taken to Goodwood) I couldn't have a drive!!
Alan, Welcome - any advice this is the place and despite the odd piss take it's good banter.

Great purchase Alan . I had a 10 year break from TVRs but returned to the fold last year. I shouldn't have left it so long!

Lovely looking car and IMHO one of the most business like TVR engine bays

Total time warp car there - excellent purchase - well done and welcome to the wedge fold... hope to see it at the meetings - you've got at least 50K miles to make up - which without doubt you will thoroughly enjoy

No wonder ! talk about bang for ur bucks..I thought my old 400 was excellent for 11K. Now you could pick up a cool 400 for around what say 7-8 ?
