Could you use a Wedge as a daily driver?
Discussion
Theres no reason why not, other than the increase in fuel over an oil burner!
My 350i gets driven to Norfolk from Kent every few weeks and driven most weekends with the kids, and Ive never had any problems apart from who goes in the front seat!
My 280i is also more than capable of being a daily driver, we all drove Capri's back in the day, and the 2.8 cologne is near on bullet proof!

I would say though that many people's expections of what is acceptable has changed over 25 years.
But providing you can accept the limitations of a 25yr old specialist car such as poor heating/cooling, steaming up in bad weather,dim headlights, etc. etc. there is no reason not to drive them all the time.
In other words, the limitations are all around the fact its 25yrs old, not that its a TVR.

I would think that as long as the car is in good condition and is serviced regularly and maintained well then it could be used daily- if you mean general use (not a 50k mile rep mobile). I'm trying to use mine at every opportunity this year after only doing 1200 miles last year. I think cars benefit from regular use anyway as having a car sitting unused for long periods brings a whole new set of problems....
I have an M3 as a daily driver, the first year I stored the wedge I used to own, she didn't like it, she seized her handbrake off in protest, so the following year I used her all I could, not in heavy rain or snow, but crisp fresh winter days, heater full blast, roof down, V8 roar.... lush 
Just sold my Corvette (if the buyer collects and pays tomorrow lol) so looking for a new wedge, budget of £5000.... form an orderly queue sellers
See you all soon, and at BBWF '14
