Apart from the roll bar this ticks all the boxes (For me anyway) Just wish I had the cash :-(

Really like the no spoiler look. Don't recall seeing many 400se's without the spoiler.

Anyone on here? Didn't think the 400's had NCK engines!

Except the headlights!

To be honest, a little cheaper ( and proper headlights) and I'd happily sell my Chimaera for that,

This looks very much like a car I viewed in Edinburgh a few years back. I remember the steering wheel, gear shift light, the rollbar and lack of spoiler. I chickened out on buying cos it overheated and cut out on the test run. Otherwise it seemed real nice. If it is the same car, a member with "pooh"? in his name bought it.

Can I just say, and even if you say no I'm going to wink that rattling off how much money you paid someone else to do a job on your car doesn't impress me. You're paying someone else's wages and you have no idea whether he's stiffing you for the actual complexity of the job. If I saw a list of parts totalling £1000 that you'd fit yourself I'd be happier.
As an example, the previous owner of my car liked a bit of bling so there are a number of invoices from Demon Tweeks. One is for a 'polished alloy oil filler cap', cost £20. Thank you very much mate, better than the plastic orange thing.
Dated the next day is an invoice from his local 'TVR specialist', for 'installation of oil filler cap', cost... wait for it... £35.
You have got to be sh!tting me. You really couldn't open the bonnet and swap the oil filler cap, all by yourself?

Mine also had an NCK engine (or did until it was replaced by a previous owner with a 4.3). Mines also got the very rare power steering and the very rare spare wheel tongue out

No mention of chassis condition though, and I'd be amazed if a car of that age and mileage didn't need outrigger work.

Nice colour, clean looking interior, Fest only weeks away and no reserve !!! I'm surprised it hasn't been snapped up yet. I thought there was a list of punters waiting for a nice 400SE. What's gone wrong? Maybe people are waiting to see the results of the Referendum or they're just too busy watching the footy. biggrin

Ooops Sorry my mistake
My old 350 had round 7" lights, assumed all the same
Square lights were NEVER as good as the old fashioned 7" round

That was my car, the chassis and body work where very good when I had it. I had trouble getting the engine to run properly and got fed up with being gassed by the exhaust so I sold it but it has been a few years so I should think that it has been sorted by now.
