Fantastic stuff not seen this before the wedges being made at the TVR factory what more could you want, it brings back memories of the videos being shown on the TVR stand next to the then brand new 400se and 450se wedge"s at the 1989 NEC Moter show i went to.

3 mins in... "powerful engine, blah blah..." - with an automatic gearbox hanging off the back of it

I think the fact that it says 'TVR Cars of America' at the end explains that one

At first i thought it was a George Romero production and was waiting for the Ice cream lady to appear....A 197bhp for the 350i......Really?.....I prefer the "Men and Motors" one...Theres a couple of things that really stick out for me in the very beginning....

While she raises the temp a little, what really gets me steamed up is looking at that thriving business creating something unique and thinking of what befell it. Damned shame.

I like the bit where they describe the rear roof section as providing 'roll-over protection'!

[superwedge]

too big too soon, plus that st engine they made,should have gone ls engine way,

I think the clue to the downfall is in there..Building their own engines???..Why?????...(At least thats what I'm led to believe)......A shame indeed....
