Wedges seem to be selling well?

[KKson]

Well Glen sold the Humbug in less than 2 weeks, the yellow 350i that was on flea has just sold, the gold metallic Wedge on the TVR-CC advertised for £7500 has sold and the orange 280i project has also sold. Is it my imagination or is there some renewed interest in owning a slice or should that be Wedge of TVR?

well prices cars will always sell......there has been some pretty good choices of late as well

I'm still hunting to buy my next one so if anyone is thinking of selling PM me :-) (pitch over lol)

Glen, I know of an ash green 350i in a barn near Bedford that may well be looking for a new home. The owner is sat on the fence as to what to do with it. It runs but is not taxed or MOT'd.

Mark this is not the one on the TVRCC forum. As far as I am aware this one is still tucked up in its barn. The land owner as part of his farm also has a section of disused war time runway and the Wedge and many other cars are let out at weekends for spirited races up the tarmac. It's located up the road from my head office at Milton Earnest.

Green one looks an absolute bargain at that price. No wonder it sold so quickly. Nice to see them hopefully moving on to people that will fettle and use them.

And another out of the cupboard and up for sale...

This is how I think it's going. Look a Stag prices now. 5- 30 grand for a British V8 convertible. I bought a 72 stag for 5 grand and it was 23 years old. Bought a 23 year old TVR 350SE for the same money. I know which one I'd rather own now, don't fancy Stagfest. Must say I'm a ex Stag TR7 dolomite Capri manta MK2 Escort.long live the Wedge this ones a keeper ??

Couldn't agree more. Sorry been away this week in our newly purchased static caravan near Tenby, with no 3G and no wifi! Drove the kids mad! I'm an ex Capri Mk2 1600GT, Triumph 2.5S estate, TR6 (totally rebuilt with 180bhp engine), Dolomite, 323i convertible BMW man and the Wedge just utterly tops the lot in value for money, entertainment, fun factor, grin factor, lack of rust on the body factor. Got the two at the moment - 390SE that won't rev beyond 3000rpm and 350i that has an odd and irritating misfire every 20 miles that I can't track down. I will get both 100% come what bloody may. Despite this I just love the "edge" that they have, love the shape and love the fact that some really hate the shape. I was thinking of getting a Griff instead of the 390SE but compared to a Wedge the styling is a bit too "nice" and curvy.

Value for money, grin factor and also uniqueness, you just cant beat a Wedge.

Hi Keith...390SE...Has the AFM been disturbed...I have a feeling it might have...350i...Does this happen when its mainly hot...Do you have a new ignition amp and was it a three pin instead of a two?...Sorry if i have started something here or maybe you could start a new post...After all thats what this forum is for...

Hi Mark, yes AFM has been disturbed plus just about everything else. Personally I think it's an AFM/ECU combo issue but before I head along those slightly expensive lines I'm letting my local mate/garage just do the basic health checks and point to point wiring checks.Compression is spot on, valves and rockers all okay. Cylinder leak tests all good. HT leads all good, timing all good, spark all good, and fuel and oil pressure all good. It's either duff wiring or AFM/ECU.

It's the 350i that's bugging me at present. Checked everything out yet after 20 miles or so of driving it has a cough as if it's going to cut out, but doesn't, and then continues on as if there's no issue. Replaced the dissy, ignition amp, HT leads, coil. Next job is to check the temperature sensor, TPS condition and track on the AFM. The TPS "pink" wire has been bypassed with a new cable run all the way back to the ECU so I suspect there might be an issue with the loom. I've got two spare so will work through it. Hey ho.
