OK I know there was a bit about this earlier this year (see www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=12&h=&t=27381 ) but I was wondering how many are PH-ers? Latest info I have is the following:

No 5 - Red - PH-er wedwedge5
No 6 - Ruby Mica - 1990H my old one. Sold to a decent sort in Wiltshire. Totally immaculate 26k miles last April.
No 9 - Rosso Red - pal at midessex region. (car is near concours with new 4.6 engine from V8 dev.)
No 11 - I think this was broken up by a guy at midessex.
No 14 - Midnight Blue - pal in Leamington. Shown in 1998 TVR calendar.
No 15 - Black - 1990G - owner?
No 19 - Blue - broken up by pistolar
No 21 - Cooper Green - 1991H - owner?
No 22 - Sapphire Blue - 1991H - owner?
No ?? - Westminster Blue - 1990G - owner?

Can anybody fill any gaps?

p.s. - Gerald, how's it going? You lucky s@d!!
- Richard T, have you still got your's for sale? Details?

edited to add pistolars boken one.

It's going very well so far. I have had the wedge for nearly a year now and 3500 faultless and fun filled miles. Changing insurance this year so I can do a higher mileage.
I would have been out and about this weekend but its having a sleepover at Fenhursts; MOT and a few bits and pieces. Back very soon I hope.

I know the bloke who's now got No.6. I work in the same building as him. Don't think he's a PH'er, but I'll mention it to him when I next see him.

Update on the 350se survival and help needed.
I have rescued No.4 (Starfire Mica Blue / Magnolia)

Car has damaged nose cone but now confirmed as original car. Been sat outside for a couple of years needs a lot of work to tidy but is solid and just passed an MOT.
Will be on the road this summer (looking a bit tatty) and will finished next winter.

Need your help clarifying spec.
1) 4.0ltr Hot wire engine NCK xxx but what spec. is it. 2 opinions to date - 240/250Grif. or 285 special ?
2) Front discs are 262 dia vented with 4 pot FORD calipers - What are they ?
3) Does anybody have an original 350se advert ?
4) Anybody got a wiring diagram - its not the same as the bible.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi
I used to own no5 350SE until I traded it in for a SEAC It's still for sale at the dealers nearly one year on!
I know of the car you've got as it was advertised sometime back on the wedge site.
To answer some of your questions as far as I know the engine in the 350SE was meant to be the 3.9 hot wire 240bhp as found in later 400SEs, but I think the engine did vary and some may just have had a 3.5l. The front brakes on no5 were standard 350 brakes i.e non-vent discs and standard callipers.It sounds like yours has the AP 4 pot brakes found on the 390s and 400s. The 350SEs were also originally fitted with koni shocks. An advert for the 350SE appeared in a 1990 TVR Sprint magazine - I did have a copy, but might have given it in with the car, I'll have a look. No idea of the electric wiring diagram.

Welcome to wedge ownership if you have not previously indulged. I'm sure you'll find this site fun, friendly and informative

Interesting -

So the SE version of the 350 came later in the development of the series?

Thanks - this is my first TVR so there will be lots more questions.
Regarding the brakes - they are only 10.3in (262mm) dia. but vented (400se 10.6 vented ?)and the 4 pot calipers have a FORD logo cast (stamped) on them. Still a mystery.

Bit of an update to this old thread. A lad at work spotted No.24 heading towards Manchester from Prestwich. It's probably the Westminster Blue, 1990 G reg. Appparently it was being driven by a nice, young lady.

I have the (or is there more than one?) 1990G Westminster blue 350SE. Unfortunately I was by myself without a nice young lady when I took it out this afternoon to check it over ready for BNG.
I was nowhere near Manchester though, I am in lake district.
Interesting to know if there were 2 cars made the same.

I'm trying to put together a website listing all the 350SE wedges. I've got number 1.

ric p and brocklebank - is there any chance of having a photo of your cars?

Sorry, I dont know what number it is, I believe that was on the 'badge' on the back of the car which is missing off mine, or is there a way I can tell from the chassis number.
The car came with a certificate thingy from the TVRCC but it only states that it is one of a limited edition of 25, it dosent say which one.
cdt - I will e-mail you a piccy.

Number 26 was in autotrader last week (Apparently there was no number 13?) I think it was red and priced about £8k
