is there a 350i buyers guide? - tried searching

[Karlos1971]

Hi Everyone,

I have done a 'search' and cant find anything so I wondered if anyone knew of a 350i buyers guide? I have been surfing the web and there isnt a great deal about, I am aware of checking the chassis/outriggers etc.. but just wondered what other things I should be checking apart from the usual stuff? I wanted to put a little check list together so I am thorough.

Is there an article or something that you could direct me too guys?? would appreciate it!!

Regards
Karl

Not sure about specifically the 350i, but try looking for TVR Wedge buyers guides as they are all similarly constructed, or even a general TVR buyers guide

The best advice I was given is, don't let them start the engine till you've checked the chassis and electrics... once you hear that engine, you'll be smitten

Good luck in your search

Yep, I was told that by someone! that engine note apparently hypnotises you into handing over your dosh!

Thanks

Cuneus, that is exactly what I was looking for, thanks alot for that! much appreciated.

What a helpful bunch you all are, looking forward to buying a Wedge and becoming of the clan.

Thanks again.

Yes all credit to mikeb for doing the site originally - it's what I used when I bought my first wedge - shame the site has gone

A wedge bible by Steve Heath comes in handy as well.
That is what I used when preparing for a purchase, which is already over 10 years ago. And from then on it is a good source of information during ownership.

Cheers for that, the Steve Heath bible sounds the business! I have stumbled across some good reviews, sounds essential !!

Thanks for your help.

Looking at a car tomorrow, fingers crossed!!

using the search engine on PH is probably your best bet, discussed loads of times on here over the years. Also try searching the other older TVR forums as well. Pretty much the same things you will be looking for.
