Discussion
I have to respectfully disagree. Can anyone name another marque where a small bump in the road will drop your relay/fuse board (and/or ECU) onto your passenger's legs? 
As long as you have a 'hands on' attitude toward the car, or deep pockets, it's "reliable".
Seriously tho, go buy one. You wont regret it.

You wont regret it. ive had mine 8years had very few problems its never technically broken down then i bought an S1 for the mrs to drive but it scared her silly thats great aswell and for my job im a recovery technician like rac aa green flag etc see very few TVR's broken down ive only ever been called out to a sagaris with flat battery due to lack of use!!! the grin factor from any tvr is worth every niggle if you get a good one you get even more grins !!!!

Hi
I am after some advice on the possibility of buying a Wedge 350i or something similar. As someone who is not really mechanically minded should I disregard a TVR on reliability issues?
Any help appreciated

Mine has been low loaded twice. Both for insignificant reasons, I suspect the particular breakdown firm got more money for towing than attempting to repair. No other call outs. One or two niggles but when the cause was apparent you can bang your head and go DOH!I am after some advice on the possibility of buying a Wedge 350i or something similar.

Our Fiesta at the time broke down four times in the same period (since rusted away and newer than the 400 and no matter what you try, does not have the same presence as Thor gargling on gravel and the proverbials of a shovel)
The newest will be approaching the big 20 but they are not rocket science.
So, put away the TVR goggles. Look at many, visit a few club meets for a look see. Not met anyone who is not enthusiastic and will not show and tell and even tell about the naughty bits like out riggers and all black wiring (only on certain cars).

How much spannering and electricery can you do?
Would have thought that most wedges available are probably quite sorted and had most things fixed by previous owners ( I know mine has been fixed several times 
)
And as long as you spend reasonable sum of monies you should get one that will last a while
( Well at least to the first sunny day when you'll see coolant all over the drive :Yikes
