How many Wedges are still alive.

[TVRleigh]

May be a good time to start as we have a starting list of the people going to the BBWF.

Be nice to know how many are still alive, also if anyone know how many of each was made. I think the 400SE was about 280ish

If you not going buy have a wedge Please add your name and car.

Thanks
Leigh

Well, according to the Wedge Bible (you should get a copy), there were 2615 wedges made between 1979 and 1991 as follows:
Tasmin S1 FHC - 118
Tasmin convertible / 280i - 862
Tasmin +2 - 47
Tasmin s2/280i FHC - 140
Tasmin 200 FHC - 200
Tasmin 200 convertible - 45
350i convertible - 869
350i FHC - 52
350i +2 FHC 6
350SE = 25
390SE/420SE - 103
400SE - 242
450SE - 35
420SEAC - 37
450SEAC - 18

As for how many still in existance? - I'd guess maybe 700 or so?

[TVRleigh]

Thanks Lee,
I do have the bible, but not with me, plus did not know that info was in there, but thanks for posting.

See you at the BBWF fingers crossed.

Dont forget about the 3 x 430SE and 1 x 500SE
And the 400SX's I think 3 and not sure about the 350SX

1985 280i converted to racer Pink ( was Red)( was LHD us spec uk registered but delivered to Belgium!)
1984 Tasmin (metallic light green) erm project car.. stored in a barn for about 10 years in my garage for 3

edited to say TO my knowledge, there were 21 Tasmins converted to Race cars, 2 of them were destroyed in accidents, and another scrap tasmin was broken for spares for the race cars..

So racing them probably preserved a few rather than destroying them...

Based on my best guess, there are probably about 300 +/- wedges still going here in the US and perhaps another couple of dozen in Canada.

I'm green with envy... I've only got one.

[barrington]

no its black

[350zwelgje]

Think it would be over a thousand. Especially those that are not driven and the body is still around...., and never mind the chassis.

[Wedg1e]

I think the lat time we did this (a couple of years back) the consensus was a survival rate of 50 to 60%. So 1000 to 1200 cars or so.

That's suprising.

I assumed there were very few were sent to the US.

Good point.

TVRleigh said:

That's double counting. None of these were made by TVR.

Don't forget the 660SE(SEAC?) though.

[TVRleigh]

I thought the 1 x 500SE was an official TVR as with the 3 x 400SX

O and does the white elephant count.

Added mine to the "Register". Unfortunately cannot make BBWF this time around

The 500SE is a modified car by others albeit semi official in that it had help from TVRPower IIRC. I don't remember TVR ever making a supercharged Wedge. The WE has a wedge chassis, many other wedge parts and it's a TVR car so yes I would say that should be counted.

Whist IMHO the register is a great idea I would estimate that there are seven or eight hundred cars still in existance so this list could get very long. Could it be added to the wedge pages or similar?

[.Woody]

Any SX's were supercharged by an old TVR dealer called Haughins at Barrow (reg plate ending EO) (my home town), not by the factory, and from what I have heard all the superchargers were done against TVR's wishes.

True there may be about 700-1000 but I think we may only have max 150 that come here, so won't get that long.

Just thought it would be interesting as I saw a simula post on the Cerbie forum, just wondered how we compared.

[mightymouse]

Doesn't look like I will be making BBWF this year but wanna add my name to the Wedge still alive list.
