Indeed, I asked for chassis pictures, which would seem like a trivial job after such an intensive restoration. I have recieved several excuses, but no pictures to date.

Jim
See you are from Cambs, yet another Wedge owner in Cambs!
Yes the car has had a bit of chassis/out rigger work but that was done by RT racing to get it past a MOT a couple of years ago! This is the chassis restoration he is claiming to be done! The previous owner who I know is fuming ref the claims of the new owner! He is even saying he has replaced all the windows, but the pics he is showing, show stickers on them which were on them when I owned the car for 5 hours!

Stay away from it!!!!!!

The pic of your car look better than his!

Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,

Forgot to update my profile picture. HonourablePickle is now the proud owner of the FHC. I Now have a 390SE. Sadly, I miss the old gal, perhaps I'll put up an advert for a p/x to a FHC...

This post about perfect wedges that aren't , not unusual from speaking to wedge owners at W. Mid. who have travelled many a mile to end up looking at ' a bag of nails ' .

Badred, combine and father ted, you can say that about many cars. But this one is so blatantly being advertised as restored the owner should be locked up!
He is giving TVR owners/Pistonheadrs a bad name!
