It does look good and it's in the right colour. Once the dash vaneer is completed and the seats reupholstered it could be a minter.

Tony...If you read it again it says..Seats have been re-covered and the veneers are in excellent condition, The only fault is where a towel was not used to protect the roof from folding down on itself..Definitely the right colour combo...Tony. TCB.

Mark, I have just read it again. It says clearly the center console veneer is missing, only metal backplate in place and the seats have not been re-covered they have been re-coated which means they have been painted, that's why they look shabby in the photos. I was right the first time, once the dash is finished and the seats re- upholstered it could be a minter. Thanks.Tony. TCB.
I clearly know this car, and in my opinion this is one of the best stock 350i I have ever seen.
The interior is immaculate but like all 30 year old cars there will be some minor issues if you look hard enough
It's claim to fame was it won the best turned out car at the recent Belgium trip gathering
If anyone is in the market for a V8 Wedge that they can just drive and enjoy then buy this one

Here we go...Sausage meet 2013...As you can see the seats are the same colour so NOT painted...I think that is a mis-interpretation..The rest is correct...
Sausage meet 2013
Hi Peeps..well the weather was a big change from last week..It feels like spring is here already!..Thanks to Gary & Stef and Martin for turning up..I do love greenwich park as we always get plenty of attention from japanese tourists..There was a young lad and his dad looking at mine and martins and the little lad said.."Look dad racing cars".."I want the red one"....His dad then said.."They are TVR's..I doubt if you could race them as they probably wouldnt start"..I thought you cheeky bugger..I then pointed out that the red one is mine and its thirty years old and its here today which means it does start..Then a group of japanese tourist's walked passed with a tour guide who said.."TVR..Were'nt they bought out by an australian company"..I said "NO...Russian mafia" and the group laughed..I think they thought i was joking..

All.....I have always used a towel in my ownership when I have folded the hood down, very rarely has this not been the case. This wear/Hole was apparent when I purchased the car and because of the care I have taken hasn't got much worse.In my opinion the hood is in excellent condition considering it hasn't been replaced by myself in the 11 years of my ownership and really doesn't need replacing for many years to come if looked after as lovingly as I have.
Chis aka Jack Valiant, top friend and advisor and very knowledgeable about the 350i v8 engines and wedges in general, knows this car well. It is a genuine example of one of the very best 350i's out there.

the seats are in excellent condition, no wear or discolouration, no rips or tears.Tony. TCB.
You would be hard pressed to find seats as good even in replacement items. A thorough clean , maybe another re-paint and they would look as good as new

Shabby Elvis..are you sure?! I've seen a lot worse. For a 28 year old car without any rips or tears or worn patches, not bad I would say! Doesn't in any way detract from the performance.Tony. TCB.

It certainly does look a beauty. Red with cream/magnolia leather. Probably the best colour combo IMHO.
Never seen one this colour before. Looks good. What is it Ivory?

Oops sorry Gary...I thought the roof happened when you had it...Mind you i only ever saw it with the roof down...How it should be...
I must confess...I was a lot happier with a red Wedge...A dose of FC products would sort the wear out on the seats but hey like you say thats nothing major..A new rear section 250 sobs..Sorted...
Stewart...Get it bought mate...You need a V8.......
