We are selling one but it is in SE London so a wee bit too far for you I think.

Terrible pictures I know. Two of them do not expand but I have just uploaded them again so they hopefully should be OK soon. The car is not a showroom perfect by any means but is mechanically much better than when it was bought a year ago. It is only being sold because a 400SE came up at the right price. The car is jointly owned and kept at my mates house hence the contact in the ad is him not me.

I don't know if you've noticed my car for sale on PH.

www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/94033.htm

I'm in Nantwich which isn't far from the Wirral :-) (got the location from your profile). It's in great overall condition and i bought it from a real wedge enthusiast in South Wales.

I've spent a lot of money on a new SS exhaust system (and a new mild steel n/s manifold as well).

I'm only selling the car because I don't get to use it enough and I need the cash unfortunately.

I will take some pics tonight. What resolution, i.e. file size, can you cope with? Full 5 MPixel is going to be 2.5MB each.

[shreks friend]

ye ! sounds good, what ever suits you as am unsure ??!!??
thanks alot

What sort of condition are you after?

I've got one which is in need of some cosmetic tweeking but is mechanically sound. I haven't got the heart to put her up for sale and have a load of Max Power boys go blasting her round by me. If I've got to sell her (it's getting close to it) I'd rather sell cheaply to someone who I think will give her the TLC that I haven't had the time or money to spend on her than get a good price and see it stuffed in a hedge by a local oik 10 days later.

I've had her for 10years and she's only ever let me down once

If your interested (or anyone else is) PM me and I'll let you know exactly what needs doing and what I'm after for her. Barring a few necessary tweaks (adjustable suspension, uprated brakes etc) she's as she came out of the factory with a TVR Power tweaked engine and (to satisfy the purists ) the 400 vented bonnet and SEAC spoiler were also factory spec'e by the original owner!!!

Dead pleased with the 350i I bought off e-bay C308YYG. I bid for
the car without viewing -something I swore I'd never do!
It's got new cream leather, new hood, new tyres, re-furbed wheels and a stainless exhaust. The chassis has lost some of it's powder coating so has some surface rust on the outriggers but nothing a wire brush wouldn't put right. I'm in no hurry to get anywhere in it because I just like listening to the engine!
Can't help you with the centre caps (I'm still learning about TVR ownership) so good luck with those.
Are you happy with your new TVR? Has it lived up to expectations?
cheers
