If you go for wedge try for a late 400SE, The V8S is smaller lighter slightly quicker (better power to weight ratio) although not quite as powerful as 400. The V8S cost approx £23,000 in 91' the 400SE £27,000 both are classics, and as good as each other, its down to personal taste, test drive both.

Nah , go for the V8S less in yer face , had mine for 18 months, daily drive (apart from snow and serious rain) and not one major problem. A lot tougher than i imagined.
PS mine is up for grabs as i have just got myself a new toy , so for £9.5k she is all yours. Faster than a 4.0 Chim !!!!!! (well mine is anyway)
Now you know THAT MAKES SENSE.

Definitely go for a Wedge (and the "460" above does look very tasty!) - I've been running them for 9 years now and have never had one let me down. (Not that I'm biaised or anything....)
Although 2 Sheds is right about power to weight ratio its worth pointing out that there can be a significant variation in engine power even among seemingly identical cars so dont let that put you off. My 400 was just a gnats chuff slower than my little brothers Chimaera. To be honest, drive a few of each and pick what you like best - they are both great cars!
There was also a very similar thread to this a few weeks ago so trawl back and you might get a bit more inspiration! Good Hunting!

The V8S makes a lovely noise and looks like a 'proper' british sports car. If that's what you want, then you won't go wrong with a V8S.
In comparison to the V8S, the Wedges are animals!!!! Subtle ? No Way! - even by TVR standards .
The big Wedge sound track is like nothing else, and the cartoon caricature looks make it look fantastically over-the-top.
Me biased - surely not....
