HI,

After a few years absence from TVR's (house, baby etc) I'm now in a position to look at purchasing another TVR. I have had a Chimp and S series in the past but am being drawn towards a wedge. I'd particulary thinking about a 350 i or a 390 se.

I'm just wondering if there are any wedge owners in Oxfordshire that would not mind showing me around their cars and maybe be taken for a quick spin. I live in Witney.

I've also got a number of questions to ask but primarily (and I know they are subjective) :

1. What is the difference in feel of driving a 350 as opposed to a 390

2. I really like the look of the louvred bonnets. Can louvred bonnets be fitted to cars that did not come with them as standard ?

3. Are all oz wheels interchangable on TVR wedges or are they different offsets etc

Many Thanks for any feedback

Jeremy

P.s - If anybody is thinking of parting with their TVR wedge in next month or two please give me a shout as would be very interested.

Cheers

2 and 3 i think so.

I've never driven a 390 but i imagine it being a bit quicker than a 350 and looks more aggressive.

Hi,

For some reason, there are hardly any Wedges in Oxfordshire, or at least, that I have seen going to club meets and driving about. Not unheard of but rare.

Prove me wrong people.

Ah, thanks for that, may I then extend my request to those based in East Gloucestershire, South Warwickshire, Berkshire and Bucks.

Many Thanks

Hi Jeremy,


I don't know if it's useful to you but i think there will be a tvrcc meet at stanlake this thursday, although the website doesn't look like its been updated for some time.

http://www.tvrccoxford.co.uk/


I have a 450se and will try to pop along to the meet as I'm only in Abingdon weather permitting.

Sorry Wedge,

I did keep checking my phone and this site to see if you were going but had not heard so assumed that you were not going.

Apologies once again for any inconvienence, not intentional at all, would have really liked to have met up.
