Few Wedges for sale?
Discussion
I too am toying with the idea of putting my Wedge up for sale as I've always wanted to try out a Tuscan. Though I really do like the Wedge I have now and I believe that they will be worth a lot of money in the near future, life is just too short. The Tuscan on the other hand doesn’t have the V8 rumble but it is a bullet and very masculine. I have to make a decision soon and my son keeps telling me to go for it. We'll wait and see what happens in the New Year.

If I wanted to go really fast I'd save myself several thousand pounds and buy a bike. Even a car with a higher top speed is rarely faster across country than a bike as the bike can overtake when the car can't, nip to the front of queues etc. - and a 175mph bike is waaaaaay cheaper than any 175mph car.
In the real world, speed isn't everything... discuss
MMMM. The problem with the bike is that your first high speed mistake is usually your last. I feel safer on four wheels. The Tuscan on the other hand is fast, and I mean fast. Its also very masculine and perfect for those posing moments to which I am accustomed. My Wedge is also very attractive and attracts birds, but its not in the Tuscan League.

Mine too, they like sitting on the phone line and s
tting on it, usually just after I've washed it 
Apart from an impressionable 17-year-old (called, and I kid you not, Shirley Temple
) when I had a Spitfire in my teens, I have never found women to drop 'em just because of the car I drive.Lean Machine said:

Now there's a can of worms You 'feel' safer therefore are more likely to go fast inappropriately... is one line of argument.
Same as fitting cars with ABS. You feel invincible, you push harder, then when it comes down to it you reach into your bag of talent and find it empty. Then you rely on the crumple zones, seatbelts and airbags to keep you in one piece...Lean, Vamp
go out to the garage and have a quick look at your wedge.
Look underneath and think to yourself, I could easily upgrade that and do the work myself,
then open the bonnet, because you can, and have a look at the V8 under there, its pretty bullet proof and easy to work on.
I had a Tuscan 2, and believe me it was a beast, so much so I smashed it to pieces within 6 hours of having it..... but that was my own fault to be honest, too much loud pedal.
I was always worried about the engine letting go and dropping me a 4.5k bill, and the servicing being £1200 for the main and £700 for the oil change was a bit steep, but you need those stamp apparently! and to be fair I did do the oil changes myself, more often than needed, and despite warming it up meticulously every time, there was still a niggle in the back of my mind.
One of the early tuscans with the 4.3 engine upgrade done or a TVR Power built one would be an awesome machine, but the wedge is much more user friendly and I wouldnt change my wedges for a tuscan, in fact, Im looking for another wedge at the moment, but dont tell the wife!

I have taken all the points you have raised on board, and you are absolutely right on each and every one. However you know how it is. The grass is always greener next door. I have never had a Tuscan and from the day they were released a guy living just around the corner from me had bought one, and from that day, after trying to work out which was the front end and which was the back, I fell in love with them. I promised myself that one day I would get one no matter what. A similar situation happened with the Wedge but with that I have achieved my goal so many years later. I am 55 now and time is running out fast. The Tuscan is now within my reach, but, make no mistake. I do still love the Wedge, hence the difficult decision. I can't have both as I already have too many cars in the family including a BMW 645 CI convertible and a Merc. But, like I say, I,ll wait for the new year and see what happens.

theres plenty on the classified at the moment, and if you can get a really late car thats been looked after or even one of the convertibles then I know you wont regret it,the build quality on the post 54 plate cars was 10 times better than the early ones and the 55 plate cars had the better wavy dash. The T2 was an awesome machine, and stupidly quick, and I suppose that it could have gone a different way for me too as I wanted to get a cerb for the 2+2 aspect.
Its also good fun confusing the crap out of people with how to get back out again! look out for that one..

I think the most I have ever seen advertised is about 15. Never many for sale at this time of year. Can take a while to find a good one, but definitely worth the wait.

Thanks for views.
I've never been a TVR owner, but I've always thought that cars like the 350i must be a bargain?
