Help! 280i Sales brochure wanted!

[Mr Tank]

Hi

Can any one help!

I like to have a sales brochure of my cars, so I can display it in the windscreen of the relevant car at show's, it helps stop a lot of stupied questions.
I am looking for one for the wife's series 3 280i.

Did the factory even do one?

Hope somebody can help!

Coolio..I also have Tasmin.

You looked on Ebay?

[Mr Tank]

Yes been looking every day for weeks but no joy! I think the factory may not have done one for the British market series 3 cars?

Coolio... automatic?

[Mr Tank]

Yes auto with power steering for the wife!

She is disabled and I found when she was driving my Cerbie to brake she was having to us her hand to move her right leg on to the brake pedal!!!!!!
So an auto with powered steering was urgently needed!

This car according to Steve Heath's bible is the first series 3 car!

The pic you posted was off a USA series 2 car!

Were did you find the pic.

It may also be the bottom car on page 95 of John Tipler's TVR an Illustrated History, were the top car is a UK series 3 car!

Hi Tank,

I'm no expert in wedges, but in my collection I have a combination brochure for the 280i, 350i and 390SE, folds out into 4x A4 size with specs on the back page of all 3 variants. Features a red 280i, but the front bumper does not have the rubber strip, series one then? Brochure titled TVR, Exclusive Sports Cars. Have seen them on ebay since,but got mine from the Motor Show way back.

Yes that sounds like the standard brochure for the mid period of the "Wedges" (I have that as well)
It's the Series 3 280i which I am after! As there proberly was only 20 odd made, the chances are the factory didn't do a brochure for it!

But I will keep looking!

Andy.
