Blue 280i

Not much in terms of details, but if the rest of it is as clean as the outside in the 2 pics up atm then could possibly be a winner?

Hopefully the "bit of tinkering" is nothing major and with some more info and a bit of haggling could be a good buy.

Hi Bob, welcome to Wedgeworld. The car looks pretty good from the photos and I love the colour. A few photos of anything you do on the car are always appreciated for those in need of inspiration to get their fingers out and cars back on the road. Might see you about? The TVR-CC Sprint event is at Shelsley walsh in September so there will be a load of TVR's about then. My mate lives in Chippenham (TVR S2) and the local group is very active. Also the Neil Garner open day (Malmesbury) towards the end of September is a great meet with free technical seminars. Cheers.

Hi Gents

i dont know who lives where but i live in swindon wiltshire, i gathered that a few people are not fussed on the wheels but they came with the car i prefer the standard wedge wheels too but they are not easy to come by, does anybody know the car Reg B537NLX I have loads of paperwork with it 25 yrs of mot's so i know the mileage is genuine i am also having fun trying to get someone to fit the new hood as nobody around here seems to want to do it

cheers Rob
