My old 400se

[C8 CDS]

Hi all my old 400se was for sale on classifieds a few months ago F450 RTF. Did anyone on here buy it? I own it from 1992to94 and loved that tvr. I realy would like to buy a 400se again but Running a cerbera i just don't think it will ever happen!!! But saying that if i could get one cheap enough i would love to have a go at restoreing one in my own time. Chris

Unless it's been replaced, idiots can't even get the engine size right.

Bet she has a few more miles now though eh Chris? Still looks a very nice condition 400 though.




I reckon it's missing it's rear spoiler....eh Matt?

Yep thats it alright still look good to me i had a lot of fun in that tvr. But i was in my early twentys

Well most of us (certainly me anyway at almost 40) still have huge fun in ours.
I've had a permeanent grin from my 1st wedge, a 350i to ownership of 2 400SE's to the ultimate wedge for me, a 450 SEAC!....(did include a quick dabble with a 450 Chimarea)...nice, but the Wedges called me back, and quite loudly. I love em


Edit to add: I almost bought a 450 Cerb last year as i needed 4 seats but i went for a new bright orange Focus ST, nice car, but no TVR..and it was heavily influenced by the wife

Hi i think your right about the spoiler but back then i spent every penny i had to buy that tvr . It was up for sale for £15000 i'm not sure what i paid now cos i traded my 350 in for it, my dad thought i was bloody mad buying a car for that much money on a JCB drivers wage!! I will put some pics up from when i had it later Chris

It does look sleeker without the spoiler.

It NEEDS a spoiler

Maybe the 350s can get away without one
but the 400s with the rear diffuser definately balance up the back end. IMHO


That's better (although I do like the light blue colour of RTF)

Cheers

I always liked this (my last) one though. I think the 8.5Js helped.



Easier to clean too.
