No, but it's very similar to mine and on at the same price I paid back in January. All the best ones are ash green! Looks a bargain at that price and at this time of year.

I've seen it before I think, it is a member of the TVR Blackpool region but I can't just remember his name as it is a while since I saw him.

I remember the car being quite solid. He did strip back and paint the chassis as I recall, I also recall the paint was in good nick in general but it wasn't perfect. I think there had been a few small attempts at spraying small areas but you had to be close to really see it.

The registration number of that car seems familiar. I may have seen it at a BBWF but not sure.

I used to own your yellow beast for some two years and had great fun with it. Maybe I can return the favour. I am in the market for selling my 350SE 3.9 No 20. It is the genuine item with full history and yards and yards of receipts including the copy of the original purchase invoice. If you are genuinely interested in buying another Wedge and can stretch your budget a little more than the car you have in mind, then we may just have a deal. Click on my name to see the picture and PM me if you need more details. Buy a proven car from a familiar face if you want reliability. You know it makes sense biggrin

Tony. TCB.

Hi mate...Looks a good honest Wedge..Clean and a good price...I can't recall seeing it at a BBWF but then i don't recall seeing anything at my first and second BBWF due to being infused with rusty nail...drunk
Wasn't the "EO" cars sold by Haughins originally?...I don't think i have it in any of the Wedge calendars either so if you do buy it make sure you get in next years... smile

I do remember seeing it for sale though as i remember the green carpet...It was a contender for my first V8.....Ziga

Hi all. This is my wedge and I ve been a long time lurker on here and occasional poster. I have been to bbwf a few times and chatsworth. Thanks for digging out that pic.
The car is a haughins car from the service book and still wears haughins plates.

I d be pleased to answer any questions and to see it go to someone on here.

Good to see you're still about 400se dave.

So that's it... No more looking for me now for a few years ....

Nick,

I had a few rows with the missus when I bought a Spitfire.

So I got rid.


Then 8 years ago I lost my mum. Made me realise that life is too short.

Luckily my wife's attitude changed. So I bought a Wedge.


You don't have to spend a lot of time with a wedge, just make sure the time you spend is quality time.
