that one is a true virgin,same blue as my one,

Nice looking car, wish I had one exactly like that, oh....I have :@)


Amazing price though, I wonder why they think they would actually get that for it.

[mrzigazaga]

One owner and only just over 20,000 miles..I think its well worth it...Stunning...I know its not always good for cars to sit about and TBH its only averaged around 830 miles a year but if it has all been re-commissioned and serviced properly then it should be good to go...Ziga

That went for £13 k at the very end of may at auction

Yep Silverstone Auction. Looked very nice. There seems to be a few people buying wedges at the moment just to sell on at a profit.

When I emailed the auction house about the car, the person who responded was a Mr Nick Whale, he runs the auction and he clearly bought it and us now selling for a 7k top up

Nice work if you can get it hey :-)

Dealer needs some mark-up to reflect risk, but nearly £20k for a non-SEAC Wedge is new ground. Most punters would spend that sort of money on a curvy car.

[ElvisWedgely]

A car is worth what someone is willing to pay. If he can manage to get 20K for it, then good luck to him I say.

I wouldn't want it. A car with such low mileage in such perfect condition can't really be driven. Give me one with more miles and in very good (but useable) condition any day that I can actually use.

Oh, like the one I've got

[ToneyCaroney]

Mint condition, one owner, low mileage and totally original. Well worth it.

£20k for a 400SE? Ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaa-hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-cough-splutter-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaa....*BONK* (that's my head).

But I think Elvis is right - if someone's stupid enough happy to pay that for it then good luck to the dealer

People are happy enough to pay £20k for a decent Stag or TR6, why not a good Wedge? And why this obsession with some TVR owners to talk down the marque? I don't get it...

Yup-agreed!

The right cars are worth the right money, end of. I went to historics auction at brooklands last week and everything that sold went for either full estimate or over. The lambo countach they had was estimate £110k and it sold for £330k because it was a immaculate low mileage low owner.

Look at other tvrs-griffs are in the classifieds for 10k and there are dealers selling some for 30k. You don't see the owners in that forum saying 'anyone who buys that must be stupid' because thats just nonsense.

Rant over

Hello? It already found it's level at auction - £13k less than a month ago. This is just a dealer who can afford to put a fat round figure on and wait whilst the rest of his stock turns over. £20k is a totally "out there take the the piss and see what happens"/off the edge of the price bell curve for a bog standard 400SE. Wedges a quarter of that price are struggling to sell - perhaps they should just ask more to increase their chances of selling!

And it's nothing to do with talking the marque down it's about being a realist and there is a quantum leap between the capabilities and fit/finish of a wedge and TVR's later output.

Personally I'd put my £20k elsewhere in the Marque. {edit} a quick scour of the classifieds reveals a geuine 6000 mile mint Tuscan with Red Rose engine @ £19k....

Let's not forget that the classic car market is similar to the share market. Prices can go up as well as down. At the moment the classic car market is flourishing but that could change in an instant. Yes, we'd all like our cars to be worth more, though in the case of this low mileage, low owner wedge, the seller is rather optimistic. However, like I say, if he can get it, then good luck to him.

most wedges at 5k are dogs. This one was an absolute minter as I looked at it. Totally worth the money.

It was worth £13K. That's what this dealer paid for it. It is not worth £20k.
