116 refers to the sequential build number for that year. According to my book they built 701 cars in 1988 so it would have been built in the first quarter of that year. Further checking though states that the last year for 350 FHC Production was 1987!! With 11 built in that year and 52 350 FHC cars made in total That's TVR for you!!

My wedge was definitely built in 1988 and it has a 'K' year on the chassis number not a 'J'!!

THANK YOU FOR THE REPLY THE REASON I PUT J DOWN AS AN 1988, MY S1 IS ALSO A J WITH DATES WRITTED INSIDE THE DOORS FOR JULY 1988 .
AS FOR THE NUMBERS 116 HAS ANYONE A FIXED HEAD COUPE NUMBERED AFTER THIS JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS LAST 350FHC BUILT ?

I believe your FHC was actually constructed in late 1987 as a 1988 model. So far, I have not found another 350iFHC built after yours.

Hi David, I have a 350 FHC ending 19267
Registered march 1989. I too would be
interested in the last fixed head cars
produced, I believe this to be the only fixed
head fitted with the later smooth bumpers.
Mine was a competition prize,
but up to now haven't been able to get
any joy for history details from the
company concerned.

PLEEEZE post a picture of it.

Sounds very interesting.

Have had a knee injury for more than a year,
so the wedge is on sorn. Just had a third
operation so laid up at the moment.
Not very good with computers, will try to get
a friend to help with posting picture.

I've got a little 1x1" square tag welded on my chassis just forward of the steering rack with 1111 stamped on it. What does this number signify?
