Two are cat c and given todays market value I guess they are not worth repairing.
The cat d may find its way back on the road.

Is it me or does one of those Wedges look like this one from the Wedgepages:-



You can just make out the reg number. Its been featured in some recent TVR books too, namely the John Tipler ones. I hope it gets restored again.

As long as there are daft tts like me on the planet with more passion than sense, these cars will remain on the blackstuff

Ohhhhh! Are you bidding? I hope someone around here at least saves that white car.

I can't make out whats wrong with the first blue one - seems like the rear suspension has collapsed... If the springs were missing, then wouldn't the wheels have a lot of camber on them due to the trailing arm setup?

And the light blue one looks like a minor repair, but I reckon the rear tail glass will make it too expensive to save. It also looks like its been standing for a long time

Wasn't the light blue FHC featured on Topgear, 50 years of TVR special? Looked good at that time, but if left for 10 years it would need a real enthousiast to bring it back to the level of a daily driver.

Unfortunately not at the moment due to starting a new job and it being dependant on commission at present so it will be a while, but I have no problem buying a chicken coupe (see what I did there )

I think that was a different one, although pretty much the same model. The Top Gear one was a kind of metallic blue/green with modern, rounded mirrors. BLU 88Y was the reg I think - anyone here?

Does pull at the heart strings though, the white one looked very straight prior to its accident. Does appear to be the one off the front cover of sprint magazine. Seem to recall this car was featured a couple of times always in front of planes as the owner was a pilot ?

Click on auctions from the menu on the left, then on auction catalogues, then type TVR as a search!

Use the link to get to the home page. Click on 'auctions' in the top left menu, then click on 'repairable salvage' (ignore the place names), then put tvr in the search all auctions box and there you are
