As far as I know there was only the one spoiler used on the 400se and that's the one in the picture if you click on my name. Various different spoilers were used on the Wedges though, depending on the model. For example the 390se had a different spoiler to the series one 350i and a different one on the series two etc.

That will be my white wedge then with Zender spoiler
That's the one I was thinking of! Looks good. Was it made specifically at the time for the Wedge or available in different sizes. Anyone know whether they can still be bought, or even got one hiding in a corner somewhere?THanks for all your replies

Well why didn't you say boot spoiler? THanks for all your replies
That's the Zender spoiler, made of a hard foam and bolted to the bootlid. Word once was that either Zender stopped making them or TVR thought they were too expensive so there was a mould taken and replicas were made in GRP (minus the moulded-in Zender logo) - but I've never seen one or met anyone who has. All those I've studied at 'Fests have been the genuine, slightly squidgy article.
It's conceivable that they were a generic aftermarket thing (someone did once claim on here that his Ford Orion had one) - after all, how many could TVR have realistically expected to take - but it's a hell of a coincidence that the curve at the back lower edge matches the bootlid corner and there's a cutaway each side that happens to line up with the join line between boot and wing.
If there are any left, TVRcarparts might know of them - and maybe if there was a mould, they have it?
I too thought you were asking about the front spoiler, that's why I said there is only the one type on the 400se. Now I realise you meant the 'rear' spoiler. I was wandering why everyone was sending in photos of the back of their cars. I don't know much about the rear spoilers, only that there were several types and some after market.

The Zender spoiler was an aftermarket offering, not sure if it was made specifically for TVR or indeed if TVR had anything to do with it at all. I do know that when I inquired about getting one for my 350 in 1987 they had already been discontinued so they will be very rare these days.
Yes ok, I should have been more specific! Glad we're talking about the same thing now.
I don't dislike the droopy one, nothing personal
But the shape doesn't exactly flow with the body style. The 'Zender' one is better imho. But doesn't sound like there'll be many about. If anyone knows of one lurking in the shadows of someone's shed somewhere? Or dare I say, would even like to swap??? please let me know
