I'm after a 400se. Time for a return to he lunacy of wedgedom.

yes yes yes, I know you all told me so, and wedging is the way ahead. The chimaera has been faultless (apart from a throttle switch :-))

Keep em peeled chaps, I'll take ropey ones too. Has to be a 400though....budget about £6k max but don't inform Mrs Silverback as my 'official' max is 5k hehe - I'm learning from badred's £89 budget hehe

Not many 400's on the market recently, but good luck in your search and hope you get a cracker!

Wouldnt you consider upping your budget and buying a lovely 450SE from the TVR Centre? hehe

Who knows combine, who knows. It all depends on if it behaves itself and my eyes don't wander. The only reason the 390se went was that my eyes found a lovely V8S which, in my opinion was my best tvr yet, and wouldn't have sold that but I needed a bit of a cash injection. Saying that I liked the blue 390, but strangely was slower than the V8S.

Badred - I'll work on it, it all depends on whether a 400 comes up, I know what I want which is a bonus, it all depends if any other projects pop up in the meantime.

Good decision. The 400se is the best
Found these 2 not on pistonheads:

www.tvr-car-club.co.uk/classifieds/classified_detail.asp?ad_id=16456

The second one is in Wolverhampton not too far from where I work. If it helps, I could look at for/with you?

Mike,
This one is my old car www.buyyourcar.co.uk/Spec/TVR/TASM

I sold it to Seamus (who trades as SM Motors) last April. There are a few things in the cars history that you may wish to know about, but all in all its not a bad one. I had it for 5 years. If you wish to know anything drop me a mail through my profile.
