Never seen a front spoiler where it goes up the wheel arch .

full body off and chassis-refurb in expectation, 2500 is already the limit

IIRC that type of spoiler was fitted to the early 390's, the ones on later 390's were blended in to the body.

My first wedge (white 1986 350i) had the cow horn spoiler, and it caused some consternation when I tried to buy a replacement from the dealer (TVR Centre) in the mid 90's. They couldn't get one, so I had to repair the one I had (it had had a bit of a bash, but once you have them off the car, they are easy to repair.)

So why is a wedge worth naff all or half or the third of the price of a tin worm riddled MGB.
The chassis tubing is easy to replace rather than having a rottiserie, loads of sheet steel & welding rods.
The whole car is better, but forgotten or unknown by the public.
That was a big mistake by TVR.
Lotus had Emma Peal in a cat suit. Ohh Err.
TVR should have had Purdy, her hair style matched the car. That would have made it a classic.
Some one good at photoshop can get the promo shot on the web site.
Would be a shame to see this car used just for spares.

TVR did drape naked women over the cars at motor shows in the '70's but had to stop that shenanigans!

This one was a wedge, too...

Thanks Alan, I think the wedge above was also 1971, so it must have been some sort of prototype (notice the near-vertical line on the nosecone), shame we can't ask Oliver...
