(I have obviously been watching about too many pedoes off TV)

Seriously - it is obvious the Wedge is more reliable than a wife?

Well done for keeping it so long mate

Will have owned the 200 for 23 years on 22nd of this month... It will be 30 years old on the 1st January 2014. Interesting that it had 7 former keepers in it's first 7 years. Maybe the performance wasn't what they expected!! Cheers Steve

I had a Tasmin (chassis 36) for 5 years before getting the 390SE. When the ex and I got married in Aug. 2000 I blagged the loan of a 400SE from a guy (who'd bought it after he saw my Tasmin!) for the weekend: we were sat in a traffic jam in Whitby with the roof off and sun blazing and the wife (!) said "If you ever get another one of these, make sure it's a convertible".
We had a week's honeymoon in Corsica and the day after we got back a chap called Steve Aston popped up on the old Egroups TVRCC mailing list and asked if anyone wanted his £9000 390SE for £4500... by circuitous means I owned it a fortnight later biggrin
The it took me almost a year to sell the Tasmin...
