I think It’s appropriate to introduce yourself, so here we go. My name is John, 29 years old and although I’m a long term TVR owner, I’m quite new tot the wedge community. I recently collected my 400SE (G202 HOB) from BlackWedge. She has some well known owners from around here such as pwd95 (Wyn) and L33 (Lee) which I will probably contact them sooner or later about the history and upgrades to the car, although the accompanied history is comprehensive.

I bought my first TVR when I was 19 and took my Vixen back to former glory. She turned out to be a very reliable car and in my opinion one of the best looking cars ever, I’d rather sell a kidney than that car.
As I came more into TVR (mind you, I was 12 at the time) I always thought that the wedges are undervalued as a car and they should be massive fun to drive and good looking as far as I’m concerned. When I was into the market for a convertible big V8, the choice was easy.

When this black 400SE came for sale, I knew it was time to act. So far, I took the car home (Holland, 400mls) imported her and drove more than 250mls since then. She didn’t miss a beat and made me a very happy new owner.

Cheers
John

No, I’m afraid I’m not able to join on the BBWF due to other commitments. I hope Andy is willing to continue his highly appreciated work for the TVRCC and the wedge owners in particular so I can joint in 2014.
Have a good time and cheers!
