Hello all, After messaging a few of you recently individually, I thought i'd make a more public one for ease.

I'm trying to get all the wedge records I possibly can for ALL wedges from the first 280i FH right up to the 450 SEACs. I have an early V8 myself, (almost ready for the sun - if we're lucky enough to have any) and would love know accurately how far it is down the line in the V8 sector, this has been my main drive to find out about previous cars and To Do this I need all the chassis numbers leading up to mine DH5542. However, I am looking to try and get them all down, would love to know how where they all are and what car had what, especially how many are actually left ( if you go by the 'howmanyleft.com' you will find 'TVR Missing' is a category - Lets find them! And i'm sure one day a lot of us might want to know where your old cars are.

I was lucky enough to get hold of some old sprint articles of wedge owners (many thanks Braderz) which started it all off.

If you're happy for me to know your cars, and to keep my data as accurate as possible I require

Chassis No.....Reg No....Colour....Current Status....Any special info about the car (Factory Auto, Motor show, Demonstrator) So for example, my car:

DH5542R1....A135TAS....Gold....Broken - 2016....Factory power Steering.

Feel free to post on here or email me if this suits better.

Many Thanks,
Tricey

Hi let me start you off. Chassis no FH5001FI. Reg no BTJ286X. Red. Status On the road having a rolling restoration. Believed to have been a factory demonstrator as not registered until 1982. Many unique features. Lots of differences even from number 2 which I parked next to at a show last year. I hope this helps, Richard.

Many Thanks Gents, Im not using your chassis numbers for a ringing scheme don't worry, feel free to personally message me if don't want them in public. I have over 300 now... chassis number is the only way I can see how far down the line it is. Despite this I do understand if you don't want to disclose it

Hi mate - think your number is one of the later ones that start SA9DH? so it would be SA9DH35P8HB then there will be a letter then 019 and the three digits smile here is your VIN explained:
