Help me in to a wedge.
Discussion
No no I'm not Rick Waller looking for advice on which form of vaseling will help me slide through the door! 
Let me explain.
I went through most exotic brands of cars a few years ago, my favourite being a lovely Lotus and Porsche (put the big sticks away) however I am yet to own a TVR. About this time I had enough of the rat race and tried to go it alone and set up my own business, I also went through a messy break up which took lots of money up and the nice cars went the same way.
Move on to the present and I have got a job I love, prospects are looking good indeed life is great bar one hulking grey monstrosity........The Audi 80 Diesel that is sat on my drive. No joke this thing is so slow I regularly get overtaken by glaciers.
So I have a little bit of money together and if I'm honest I'm looking for a ropey TVR preferably a wedge. Of course i would love a mint example but A) Money and B) The fact I can restore cars makes one that needs a little work (or a lot of work) look attractive.
My ideal car is a drop head with the 2.8 engine. However I am very much a beggar not a chooser.
So does anyone know of any cars with MOT, running but maybe a bit rough that I can get in to for sub 1.5k ideally circa 1k?

If price is the issue don't forget the S - the S1 with the 2.8 engine can be picked up much cheaper than the later models (that have the 2.9) and are just as characterful IMHO.
Its well worth a post on a forum or two asking if anyone has a project for sale - you'd be surprised what can turn up.
