White wedge featured in Practical Classics gets new owner

[Terence]

ME! Bought it a few weeks ago but only just got to start tinkering with it. Was described as very good condition and that it certainly is.

I owned a wedge a few years ago (kkson now owns this one) then moved onto a Chim for a couple of years which whilst a nice car never really did it for me. So now back to a wedge. Have a list of around 16 jobs to do before putting it on the road, main ones being full service, new rear window and replace or get re-cored the leaking radiator.

I am looking forward to making good use of this great source of advice and information and will hopefully get to meet many of you at BBWF.

Welcome back....
Its hard to keep away from the wedges

[KKson]

Great that you're back. It's a small world. Hopefully see you at the BBWF for a natter.

I've spent the last couple of hours flicking through that issue while studying. Was surprised to see this topic when I logged in


Let me know if you don't have it and want it

[Waynester]

Many of us try to leave.. but, resistance is futile.

White Wedges look great, welcome back.

I owned my first wedge back in the late 90's, it took me a while but eventually got my second this time last year. Welcome back.

As it should be! Chimeras are very nice though.

Many thanks fir the welcome back all.

Started on the service and jobs list today. I went for the MTF94 option regarding gearbox oil so will be interested to se what it shifts like compared to other LT77 boxes I currently have and have owned in the past.

Back for second helpings myself. I'm a month in with the new car. Got to do about 150ish miles before i had to leave for a month. Need to do a full service also, ordering all the stuff now so it's there at the house for when I get home. Kiss the wife, say hi to the dogs and then straight into the garage for some man theoropy.

If you were a car nut in the 80's you can't help but love the wedges of the era......TVRs, Lotus Esprit etc.... The Esprit was my car for the last 6 years. I loved it but couldn't resist the draw of another TVR. The TVR is so much more fun than the Esprit. To be honest I think TVR owners are much more of a enthusiastic DIY down to earth bunch as well.

Enjoy your new car
