Why are people selling wedges so cheap? This looks like a lovely car.

Everything about it sounds fantastic but it needs some TLC with no mention as tip what that may
be.

I like it though, if it was local I'd take a look.

You may well be able to write a thesis on why it should have an extra zero after the price but selling means at market value and for a car which needs some work he'll probably have to be open to offers at that price.

Wow. Looks great value at that price. Was hoping to get a v8 this year but work has been slow and was thinking it might have to wait till next year but at that price I think I'll have to stretch myself and go and have a look.....

Do it ron...You know it makes sense..After all said and done the 280i could be a father's gift to a son..Who will have to give you a hand doing it up until such time as he is older enough to drive it.. wink

Words of wisdom indeed Zig
I really needed to sell the 280 first to pay for the next one but i'm sure i can jiggle the finances.Just need to clear it with SWMBO. Its got PAS so that'll make it easier as the one big thing she doesn't like about the 280 is the heavy steering.
Anyone on here know of this car ? Any background info welcome. thumbup

How much !! Mine drinks that much every year in fuel !!

(and my interior is costing more than that to redo and that one looks great !)

I know we are biased but the 350's must surely be up to £5000 now if we only just all pushed them up a bit ( we need a wonderbra for our prices ! )

We need some rich benefactor to buy everyone that comes up for sale instantly and hide them a away so they become almost unattainable!

The only flaw in my plan is I don't know anyone with any money, least of all me now I'm addicted to the TVR drug!biggrin my wife will go Ape S### if I ever tell her how much I spend a month on Wedges and Stella!

can't figure out why they go so cheap sometimes,
bought mine cheap as well(350i),tought I was buying a wreck,but it is becoming the car with the most fun to drive,
if there was to be payed for the joy off driving they could go up verry fast!!!
they had issues off unreliability??started driving in march 2013,so far 700 miles and no troubles,they can't be that bad!!
if the sea was not in between,it was in my garage!

Hi

I don't beleive people just because I have purchased a few wedges they think I have a plan or and am rich!

Far from it.

Apart from the Yellow Beast and the Tuscan racer I have spent less than 20k in the last three years on my cars!

Yes I have a plan!

To restore important cars from the Peter Wheeler era for the future generations to apprecaite Peters genius!
