Looking for a wedge

[JumboBeef]

As per title!

Looking for a Wedge: anything considered but I'm more a driver than a major fixer (don't mind fettling on a sunny afternoon but not big jobs) so it needs to be a sorted one.

390/400 (or what have you?) in good condition. £6000-8000. Cash waiting!

PS: in East Scotland but willing to travel.....

I felt the same when I bought my 350SE - The whale tail gets mixed comments - Over the last couple of months its grown on me

As for engine choice in your earlier post the SE has a V8 developments lump in her and its totally different to my old 350

How is a 350se different to a 350i? There are so many wedge developments and changes that they all seem lost on me, despite having done nothing but research them for the last few months.

I wouldn't let a spoiler spoil it for you.....Besides the only people that are gonna see it are the ones you leave for dust...
Plus they make a lovely beer tray at events...Ziga

Well it's 3.9 for a start! I got the impression it was like a hot wire version of the 390SE

I have a 1987 350i possibly for sale, loads of history, put it on the road April but cannot do it justice and needs to go to a good home if I decide to sell it, located in Moray.

Just nicked this from wikiped..

The TVR 350SE was a sports car designed and built by TVR starting in 1990 and ending in 1991.

In 1990 TVR Engineering Limited produced a limited production run of 25 specially prepared 350's to mark the end of the era heralded by the 350i. This commemorated the previous 7 years of production during which time over a thousand 350i-model TVRs were manufactured.

All 350SEs featured a 3.9 litre NCK hotwire Rover V8 all-alloy engine, polished multi-spoke alloy wheels and Koni adjustable shock absorbers.

Each car is uniquely numbered with its number surrounded in laurels in gold for future recognition on the side wings and rear. The cars also had 350SE decals on front spoiler, side sills and rear. TVR originally sold the 350SEs for £21,000.

The limited production 350SE was seen as the ultimate progression of the 350i in terms of both outright performance and enjoyment.

Number 13 was never made so there was a number 26 to make up the 25 cars. Number 20 was a big valve. Number 19 has been broken up for parts and no longer exists.

Number 1 of 25 is Monza red with a cream and red interior and shown in the top photograph.
