Hi
The yellow one is an early series with no flared wheel arches or grooved cills...the other is possibly a series 3 with the later style bonnet and flared arches etc..the later bonnet was one of the most effective at removing heat from the engine bay..but then TVR decided not to use it.....???

And skirts/valance mouldings seem to change about twice a week......
Don't worry though, you'll get used to it, and it's not actually quite that bad, but the detail of mouldings did change often by car standards, sometimes by model/engine, and sometimes by year....and then there's a few big changes too.
The V8 models seem to each have unique twiddles by each engine and year as far as I can see ...

....and sometimes in the same week...you can see the gradual change in the series design over a period of time... its not a sudden change as it would be in a mass produced car...
Probably another good thing to keep in mind as you collect info is that the wedge is European built, with a few special bits added to comply with US regulations (in fuel injection system).
For example, the engine is a Cologne 2.8, but it's NOT the same as the US spec ones, which have different heads (and cam I think), so don't fall into that trap !
We are all happy to help as much as we can, so just ask. I agree - there are no dumb questions for this sort of vehicle.

Hi Glen
Have you got any pics off your car you can post up.
The interesting thing from the pics you posted up, is the yellow car is a series 1 the silver car is a series 2 car and depending on the build date could have had a smooth bumper.
The yellow cars lower valances is correct for a series 1 car and the silver car valance is correct for a series 2 car.
The series 3 car had an all one piece mould front and body and sills etc.
