Hi all my old 400se was for sale on classifieds a few months ago F450 RTF. Did anyone on here buy it? I own it from 1992to94 and loved that tvr. I realy would like to buy a 400se again but Running a cerbera i just don't think it will ever happen!!! But saying that if i could get one cheap enough i would love to have a go at restoreing one in my own time. Chris

Well most of us (certainly me anyway at almost 40) still have huge fun in ours. drivingbiggrin
I've had a permeanent grin from my 1st wedge, a 350i to ownership of 2 400SE's to the ultimate wedge for me, a 450 SEAC!....(did include a quick dabble with a 450 Chimarea)...nice, but the Wedges called me back, and quite loudly. I love em cloud9


Edit to add: I almost bought a 450 Cerb last year as i needed 4 seats but i went for a new bright orange Focus ST, nice car, but no TVR..and it was heavily influenced by the wife frown

Hi i think your right about the spoiler but back then i spent every penny i had to buy that tvr . It was up for sale for £15000 i'm not sure what i paid now cos i traded my 350 in for it, my dad thought i was bloody mad buying a car for that much money on a JCB drivers wage!!smile I will put some pics up from when i had it later Chris

It NEEDS a spoiler

Maybe the 350s can get away without one
but the 400s with the rear diffuser definately balance up the back end. IMHO


That's better (although I do like the light blue colour of RTF)

Cheers
