I know... and they seem to go on eBay for decent money too.

I'm sure that Joe Public doesn't realise how cheap Wedges are at the moment. Shame really, a bit more interest might see Wedge prices firming up a bit.

If only they didn't have that orrible sewage line (sp?), oh, and the rust, and just about everything else that was naff about them even when new. Wheels aren't bad though.

Apologies to anyone I've upset JMHO !

Mad though isn't it, when you can get a proper classic V8 sports car that cost at least double when new, for less money.

How very topical, sitting down last night for a curry and one parks up outside. Compared to a wegge it has some seriously compromised "styling" and looks a bit like a prototype

[dickymint]

Probably not even a TR8

[rev-erend]

Poor man's wedge

[racingsnake]

Baffles me why anyone would buy one over a wedge.
Some "classics" just dont make sense why are MGB's more sought after than GT6's which IMHO are far more attractive nicer propositions?
Seen the price of Mk1&2 Escorts these days!

No offence to MG enthusiasts.... No really.... I just can't fathom it

They were always a Morris Oxford with the top chopped off.

1971, family car ?

I'd recommend he replaces it with a 2000GXL Cortina...4 seats... faster too.

Naah - I'd get really brassed off being overtaken by diesel repmobiles, greasing a hundred nipples and hunting for rust every couple of days.

Sorrry TR people !

Not really wanting to bang on too much about this but I've been poking around a bit & found these...

Rust , see it all the time at classic car meets , thank god i've got a wedge !

I'm waiting for Boosted to reply

The only older car I would have is a TR6. I've owned a fully restored MGB GT in the past. Granted it was a rubber bumper model but it was the most woeful hideous car I have ever owned. It was thirsty, cramped, damp, slow, didn't handle, just awful. (imo ) I sold it for a vw passat, yes it was that bad.

[blueone]

Well being one of those old enogh to have owned a TR6, (still got it in back of garage but original resto project no wings, engine out, interior in roof etc) these car do compare to the wedge for fun if not speed. The prices do appear high though compared to the cost of Wedges. I was offered £3000 for a car that is basically a pile of pieces, all there mind you and a few new bits but you can by a going wedge for this.

[cuneus]

and prices of TR6's seemed to have firmed up (and they don't really handle)

But the randomness is fun

[grahamw48]

Apart from the rubber bumpered MGs, I like all of the pre-76 British Sportscars.

It's just that with ANY of the TVRs, you seem to get so much more for your money.
