Well I've done it after selling the Midget I've gone and invested some of the cash in another project.

She's being collected and delivered on Friday afternoon. There is no sign what's so ever of an MG badge anywhere on the car and she will look very nice sat next to TVR32X in my garage.

Pics coming as soon as she arrives.

Now the main reason for the post. I found a link or post ages ago relating to how many of each model TVR's where made and roughly when. I'm bu&&ered if I can find it again.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Cheers Karl.

Thanks mate

I knew I'd seen the list somewhere, just assumed it was on here. I've got a Bible in the garage I'll go and have a look.

Cheers Karl.

Thanks Trickie

That's what I was looking for. Just wondering how rare the new arrival might be?

Cheers Karl.

Hi Steve

Let's just say it needs a little bit of TLC and has a V8 engine and apparently there are only around 36 of them biggrin

Photos will be up on Friday if the transport guy gets her here in one piece.

Looks like my winter will be spend under two TVR's this year! Gear box rebuild or the yellow peril and what ever nasties we find on this one. On the plus side there should be an extra Wedge at one or two of the meets next year?

ATB

Karl.

Sounds like either a 450SE (35 made) or a 420SEAC (37 made) which ever a great car!

Hi Ron

The problem with list is they are only as good as the information aquired by the person who compiled the list.

Take all the lists (including the published factory list) they all show only 25 x 350SE's there were infact 26 made!

So you have to be very careful with them.

Thank you and Ian for the welcome back.

I don't think all of the forum will welcome me back.

I have not been far, and have decided to come back on to keep the forum sensible.

The problem with the forum is there are only about 24 to 30 regular posters. When in fact there are over 100 PH who own wedgers. Why don't they post, well that is for various reason and I am here to represent the silent majorty. Some of them have contacted me directly about some of the things said and done on here and are afraid to speak up because of the attitude by some of the regular posters!

So we will see what happens?

Andy

Spot on that man biggrin

But as ever Mr T is right there were over 50 made by the look of it.

Anyway I've been having some serious fun this afternoon. The thing looks great as long as you don't get to close and sounds even better than my 350i. The wiring looks like its seen plenty of abuse over the years so should be fun sorting that out. But after having a look underneath it seems very solid and most of the oily bits look and sound ok?

Bought it from a great bloke in Nottingham who is a TVR/Porsche/Car nut. He's had it for a while but not had time to finish it. But credit to him rather than break it he wanted it to go in one piece and be put back on the road. He had some crazy offers for the tail gate?

This is a joint effort between me and a couple of mates. The plan is to get it on the road quick and attend all the Staffs/Shrops meets in a rolling resto. I bought it without the other two guys seeing it, but needless to say they were both well chuffed after seeing it about an hour ago.

Anyone got a wiring diagram for this one please?







Cheers Karl.
