Eager to get to know as much as possible on the wedge. Are there any recomended books to get. TVRs are rather thin on the ground over here.

What kind of books do you want to read?..There are portfolio hardbacks and soft that give the history on TVR..There are some on ebay at the moment..If its maintenance then the steve heath "Bible" would be the one to get..Hope this helps..Ziga

As well as the Wedge Bible I have Johnny Tipler's book 'TVR An Illustrated History'(Haynes Publishing) and 'The Rover V8 Engine' by David Hardcastle (also Haynes).

Additionally I have my collection of Ford Haynes Manuals (incl.Capri 2.8i,Cortina- all models...but specifically mk 4/5 for Wedges, and Granada MK2).

Or SDi//Vitesse Haynes manual.

The TVR Tasmin parts manual - lots of nice exploded diagrams but not many part numbers ;^)

Online there's a lot - vintagemodelairplane, wedge pages, tasmin alternative parts list.

This forum! Plus what came before - I have an archive of the previous forum somewhere, when Steve Heath was a major poster. Maybe I should dig it out...

My kids just bought me the Steve Heath book "The TVR Wedges" for my birthday.

Looks very good with loads of info.
