Hello, how are you all? Thought I'd just pop in and say 'hello' after a long absence. I've got my hard hat and bulletproof vest on.

Is there a BBWF this year? I hope you all have a good time if you are meeting up.

I note that the 'TVR' name, and rights to manufacture certain parts, has been bought by a British entrepreneur, so I will look on with interest at future developments for a new TVR. From the little I have read it would seem we won't be seeing any more Sagaris and similar models that were in production a few years ago.

Cheers!

Ah! A user name from the past! I nearly bought your interesting yellow Wedge, wish I had now if only to annoy the purists smile Where did it end up?

It was bought by a chap (sometime dealer I think) in Yorkshire - Malton way perhaps. He put a standard steering wheel on it and took off the badges. I think he put it up for sale virtually straight away. I believe it was then bought by another chap in Yorkshire who later was having trouble with it. I was in touch with him for a little while to outline its history whilst in my possession. I believe he said he was going to convert it to carburettors.

It is Waynes Car (Mr WST on forums) and now running well (although BLACK eek )

It is on carbs at the moment and he came down to BBWF 2012 in convoy with me from Yorkshire last year (while still Yellow cool )

I am sure he will be along soon

Brilliant! So glad to hear it is running well and being enjoyed. I got so much pleasure out of that car, so it is really good to hear it is being loved. Whilst it became so well know in yellow, it is also good that it is back to black now (is it metallic?) - its original colour I believe.

Wayne, are you the owner I communicated with some while back?

Cheers!
