I see a nice looking 450SE for sale in the A/Trader. Not my colour but does anyone know the car?

One thing I have noticed in the pictures is that there are no decals or coach lines on the car. Resprayed maybe? Also it's not advertised anywhere else and I have never seen it advertised before. Any ideas?

Pointed this car out to Zig in another thread. Only a very brief description. It's only a few miles from me if you need someone to go and have a look smile

Very low mileage. Is the veneer normally finished like that?

I do. It belongs to a family friend who bought it from a friend of hi. It's an honest car that has been maintained well but not really part of a club or show scene. He's had it for a fair few years and used it regularly. I've been tempted to snap it up from him a few times when he's wavered but it wasn't going to work for me.

I had that same steering wheel on my 400 ! In fact it's kicking about somewhere awaiting its next car....

I am looking to buy a TVR having recently sold my 400SE and am actually looking for a Tuscan, simply because I've never owned one. I would however consider a 450SE Wedge, if the right car came along. Couple of things puts me off this one though, apart from the colour which really is personal choice. The fact that there are no coach lines and decals tells a story, and that drivers seat bolster seems a bit too far gone for 31000 miles. I own a car with 39000 miles and the drivers seat looks as though it's never been sat on. Maybe I'm just too fussy, but the next TVR I buy must be a bit special both in condition and pedigree. The search goes on.

If it is anything like mine, with the cold start injector plugged in it floods extremely quickly and just wont start, with it unplugged it starts first turn of the key.
