Does anyone have an extra 1986 USA spec 280i owners manual? Mine is heavily water damaged. I have things to trade if interested. Thanks.

This may be a long shot, but have you tried any of the usual parts suppliers.

When I bought my 350i it came without a manual and I phoned a main dealer (this was in the days when there was a good flow of new cars coming out the factory) and asked about a handbook. I was told it would be £5 and available next day. When it came it was only a photocopy, but I later find out they were not hard to get hold of. On that basis, one of the specialists should have one they can copy for you.

Do you mean the owner's handbook from TVR or the Steve Heath 'Bible'?

The handbook was just a photocopy. I seem to remember a thread here or on Facialbakkae about one going to America either last week or the week before. It was copied before being sent as someone in the UK wanted one to.

Worth a search here and the TVR Wedge Owners groups on facialbakkae.

US TVR Club made a copy of mine but I don't see it listed on the web site. Try emailing Hayden.

BTW- The 1986 owners manual is the really the same as the the 1985 manual (check the print date). I think the only major change for 1986 was the addition of the second cooling fan and (and fuse and rely). So the fuse/relay diagram is wrong. I'll try sending my write-up by PM. Grady

I have a PDF of the owners manual. It is probably the copy of Grady's manual that he mentioned. If you'll provide an email address I'll send it to you.

Hey mate,
You don't still happen to have a copy of that Pdf knocking around do you?
Best,
