There's two on there now!
Both from the garage at Mansfield and both look lovely, one yellow and one red smile
It's only about 15 miles away from me, so if anyone wants me to go check them out, let me know.

TOPTON'S old wedge that i am sure of it... If so it will be a well looked after wedge. Tony spent a lot of time and effort getting his wedge upto a very good standard.

It's got what can only be described as a stunning interior, may well "pop" across and have a look at it myself anyway wink

I too believe that the red 400se is that of Tony(Topton). During the time I owned mine, me and Tony compared notes on our cars simply because all the modifications on both cars were carried out by the same person previously. He gave me advice about do's and don't's because he had owned his 400se much longer than me.

Eerrrm,wh'ats wrong with the seac spoiler,personally I like them,its great for beer glasses for one thing. Beauty after all is in the eye of head it sits in. As for it being a poor man's imitation,well I don't mind admitting im a poor man and I don't think that there are many on here with too much money to spend.

Hey guys, it was my wedge. I can't believe I've actually done it but it just wasn't getting the use it deserved and I had done everything on it that needed doing. (poor excuse but mrs TT hated it too)
It wasn't even getting worked on in the garage. So after 3 months of it sitting around I decided to jump ship and try something else. Never thought I would though. The dealer had something in that I thought I might like, so I phoned him Friday morning and done the deal yesterday. All a bit rushed in case I changed my mind maybe.

This is where I have abandoned ship to (don't look if you are easily offended)

Its a nice car, but it hasn't got the soul (or sound) of TVR !

I have a Boxster as well as a 350i and personaly I don't think driving a Boxster is quite the same occassion as a Wedge, hence it will be for sale in the spring. Just my opinion, enjoy your new car.

I had a boxster s for over 3 years and its got to be one of the best value sports cars on the market and to date for your buck its hard to beat. .... But........when it wants to be fixed, you can't fix it, Porsche have it sewn up, you can change discs, tyres and a few odds and ends, but anything else is a special tool or second hand from eBay, because you always end up back at Porsche. Software driven in all respects, however the harder you drive it, the more it sticks. I would buy another one, but the need for something less German got me a Tvr, strange people us petrol heads, never happy!!

Hi All

I am the proud new owner of this fab 400se. Its my first TVR/Wedge and I can already see this car is truly a credit to its previous owners. That said....I'm also unsure about the SEAC rear spoiler and think I will try and source the correct item.
