I'm in the process of purchasing a 1987 350i convertible, although the red interior is past its best.

Is it possible to buy walnut panels, carpets etc?

Thanks..

With enough money you can do anything.

Hi Paul....welcome to Wedgedom ! thumbup

There are a few suppliers of interior bits and pieces, carpets, wood, etc.

Some guys who do trimming have set up at the old TVR factory in Blackpool.(D & C trimming ?)

Try TVR spares section on ebay.

There are specialist breakers too, and Chim or Griff seats will fit your 350.

If you fancy having a crack at re-veneering your own panels, then there's info here, plus lots of other useful Wedge-related stuff:

Good luck, and keep asking questions on here. smile

This guy does kits or full re-trims for old TVR's. I've not used him though so I can't vouch for his work.

Very nice !...and in white...the 'in' colour for 2009 . hehe

There'll always be one or two things to keep you occupied on it, but that's part of the (some would say) enjoyment of ownership.

Mechanically the cars are normally very reliable. smile

The scurfy driver's seat can be fixed with a reconnelising kit - Woolstenholme's do good stuff. In fact I would go as far as to swap over the two seats so as to even out the wear.
